7. Best Practices

  • Consistent Ordering: Use Section Index to control flow—charts first, then tables, then narrative.

  • Enable Only Required: Disable unused formats (Is Excel / Is PDF) until ready for release.

  • Use Filters: Save filters for each station type or report category to speed up editing.

  • Audit Notes: Record decisions in Notes and rely on the Updated By/On audit fields.
