In the remainder of this page, when we refer to "the document", we mean the approved policy, procedure, guideline, directive or bylaw. The policy office is the only user of this content page type.
When you are creating or editing a Governance document page, fill in the relevant information using the screenshots below as a guide. Please note that fields marked with a red asterisk are mandatory.
Refer to the Field types list for a description of the different field types you may encounter on your page and how each type behaves.

Such a change in process will be managed by the Policy Office. Information about how to add these can be found on the Types of components page. Cecilia - add a link to 'how to add a PDF' |
