Section 4: Conventions
Icons
In order to help you quickly locate the information you need within the User’s Guide we have created icons
that appear to the left of text to tell you just what kind of information is contained in the paragraph marked
by the icon. The different icons are:
STEPS – The associated text lists a process usually involving a series of steps by which you achieve your
goal. We will occasionally arrange these steps in a single phrase separated by the “>” character.
For example, if you were to see the following:
“Phone > Extensions > Personal Extension”
You would know that this is a series of clicks in a path designed to get you to a final location, in this
case, a Personal Extension screen
INFO - Informational notes give you a broader understanding or offer information that may provide
additional context for the topic
TIP – These are helpful hints to make the task easier
EXAMPLE – Examples often help illustrate a point by showing the functionality being discussed in
a scenario that will help it make sense
WARNING – Beware! The changes or decisions you make may be permanent and unrecoverable
We also use standard text formatting and strive to be consistent with the terms we use to help you clearly
understand what we mean. For example, bolded text refers to an element displayed on the screen that you
would click on (e.g. the Submit button) or a button/key to be pressed on the phone.
