10. Documentation Requirements

10.1 User Manual

The user manual will help the users of the software to understand better its functionality and have a full benefit from it. The manual will be detailed with all the things that the users need to know, such as what to do with the login page, what to do with the groups, assignments, user’s CV-s, events etc. According to the number of groups of users, the manual will be separated into as many parts as groups.
