User documentation documentation that users can refer to for information about procedures (. ‘wizards’ and cue cards) Operations documentation operator’s manual; mainly applies to mainframe computer systems User satisfaction with documentation User documentation should cater for all types of users and consideration should be given to: the level of language (should be simple and non-technical) the learning capacity of .
