That’s one sexy wiki!

Connections wikis have in some quarters gotten a bad rap. But wikis are a powerful tool if you put some work and preparations into them. In this session, Hogne B. Pettersen will show you how you with the help of graphics can create visually appealing wikis that are easy to navigate and use. He will show you how you can create everything from step-by-step guides to workflows and handbooks. Instead of creating documentation about your Connections environment on a file server, why not put it inside Connections itself?
