File Management Structure for Assignments

Overview
To allow your assignments to be easily assessed, you are required to store each assignment in a specific folder.
This document explains the folder structure you are to create, outlines the naming conventions to use for the
folders, and lists the process for storing and naming your assignment items.

Creating the folder structure


1. Create a folder for each training unit that you participate in, using the associated code (for example,
ACQ201) for the folder name.
2. For each assignment, create these subfolders, as required:

folder
CreatedFiles Any output generated in your assignment. For example: pdf from report object, txt files from
exports.

Database Any database backups created for, or to be used in, the assignment.
Documentation Documentation of any kind, including original and completed assignment sheets.
Workspace Any workspaces and objects created or used to complete your assignment.
