Advice on folder structure

[Lea Rush]

Hello to the fonts of All Wisdom Framemaker,

 

;)

 

Seriously, I’d like some advice. My company has three different software
packages, and the three share two common sub-packages. Up to this point, the
common bits were part of the Details chapter of each individual manual. I’d
like to break out the common bits into their own individual manuals. Here’s
what I see as the eventual folder and file structure. Any advice welcomed in
advance.

 

MANUALS

PACKAGEFOLDER1 – unique *.fm files and images for Package1

PACKAGEFOLDER2 – same for Package2

PACKAGEFOLDER3 – same for Package3

SUB-PACKAGE1 – *.fm files for Sub-package1 with conditional text to fit each
major package

SUB-PACKAGE2 – samesame

PackageBook1 – actual book file for package one

PackageBook2 – etc.

PackageBook3 – etc.

 

My perceived benefit is that all the files in a given book are at the same
folder level, and I think I remember the consensus on this list being that
that is a good thing. Thoughts? Advice? Completely different paradigm which
is eluding me?

 

Thanks in advance!

Lea
