Manual: Preface-Conventions

In order to make the Documentation as useful as possible, we use the following standards and Conventions throughout the entire Site, including the RidgeStar or Referees.biz demonstration pages (where applicable):

Terminology

Wherever possible, the first usage of a defined Term on each page is marked with a small gray question mark symbol just to the right of the term. You can click on the symbol to view the Term's definition. To close the resulting pop-up window, simply click back into the primary Site window. Go ahead, try it: Click on the symbol next to the word Term. You can view a list of all the defined Terms on the Information: Terminology page.

Symbols

The Interactivet Site uses Symbols to indicate that you can request an action or to describe a logical element. For example, if a page has additional information available that describes an action or an extended description of the element, you can click the Help Symbol placed adjacent to the element on the page to access the information. To demonstrate, click on the Help Symbol near the end of this sentence to learn more about the Symbols and their meanings.

As an additional aid to the use of the Symbols, you can always move your mouse over the top of the symbol and pause to get the Site to provide you with a short reminder of its purpose.
