The document management system provides an easier process for maintenance of Volume II; includes a search feature for data items; includes a query builder to allow users to build their own reports; and, includes other user-friendly features such as links to cross-reference items between chapters. In addition, users can now submit changes to data items by searching the database for an existing item and pre-loading that item’s information into the item change form.
