Task description

All screens of Garp3 that allow several operations to the user are called workspaces. The name of a workspace is readable on the top of the corresponding Garp3 screen. Every webpage of the support pages has the same general lay-out as can be seen on this page. A workspace has been designed to allow the user to execute a particular task. Some tasks require several sub-tasks to be executed first, but the main task of the workspace will be described in this section.

Task context

In this section, the context of the workspace will be explained in terms of its availability in Garp3. The screens and other workspaces from which this workspace is accessible can be found by following the links in this section. Main screen

Tasks in this workspace

These can be links to other workspaces, but in some workspaces these will be descriptions of small tasks that the user must execute to perform the main task.
