Modular task-based information
Modular task-based information (MTBI) is a quick reference for using the Nortel Secure Network Access Switch task-based documentation. MTBI describes the structure of task-based information and how it can be used most effectively.

Task-based documentation
Task-based documentation is a new way of packaging customer information in a structured, modular, task-centric format.
23
Task-based documentation focuses on what the user must do and the sequence in which to perform tasks.
The goal is to make Nortel documentation easy to find, easy to use, timely, and accurate.
To understand the relationship between work flows, task flows, and procedures, see Figure 1 "Work flows, task flows, and procedures in
task-based documentation" (page 24).

Figure 1 Work flows, task flows, and procedures in task-based documentation
How is task-based documentation used?
In task-based documentation, procedural information is included in the document. Supporting conceptual and reference information is provided, and the user is guided on how to use conceptual and reference material by identified prerequisites or direct links and references.
The user navigates the information by following the flows that are provided for tasks and procedures.
Task flow overview
Task flows are flowcharts that illustrate which procedures and decisions are involved to complete an activity.

The task flows guide you through activities to use the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600, whether it is configuration, upgrading, installation, maintenance, or troubleshooting.
Each flow provides the prerequisites and links to the tasks or procedures. To perform or refer to a procedure, always follow the task flow. Following
the task flows ensures that you meet all the requirements for successful completion of the task.
Work flows, task flows, and procedures
Work flows, task flows, and procedures have similar elements to maintain consistency and usability. Each section has a specific function.

“Job aid” (page 26)
To understand the relationship between work flows, task flows, and procedures, see Figure 1 "Work flows, task flows, and procedures in
task-based documentation" (page 24).
Purpose statements
Purpose statements explain why or when you would perform a work flow, task, or procedure and its impact.
Prerequisites
Prerequisites lists everything you must do or understand before you start the workflow, task, or procedure, such as tasks that should already be completed, risks, confirmation of system status, required knowledge, time estimates or limitations, and links to supporting information.
The prerequisite section is omitted if no required prerequisites exist.
Work flows or task flows
This section is the flow chart diagram that represents the task flow with navigational links to the tasks or procedures in the flow.
Procedure steps
Procedures provide numerical steps that help you perform the procedure. Each step is a single action.

Example procedures
Some procedures use examples to show how to correctly perform the procedure with realistic settings.
Variable definitions
Variable definitions provide the possible values, ranges, or definitions of variables used in the procedure steps.
If variables are not used in the procedure, then the variables definition section is omitted.
Job aid
Job aids provide information help to successfully perform the procedure. The job aid is only used when required.
Task-based documentation terms
Task-based documentation uses the following terms.
Term Description
Work flow A high-level or top-level group of
tasks.
Task or task flow A logical group of procedures that is
represented as a single action in a flowchart diagram. Complex tasks can be divided into simpler tasks or subtasks.
Procedure A logical group of steps that can be
described as a single action in a task.
Step A single action that is performed in a
procedure.
Variable A placeholder in procedure steps that
can represent a value or definition.
Restructuring Nortel technical documents into a task-based format is an ongoing initiative. The documentation for some Nortel products is already converted to the new format.
