DRS3 Workflow Training Topics
For each of the below topics, both a video training session and a written guide will ultimately be available. This page will be updated regularly when new content is available, so check back often!
These training materials are intended to cover standard activities and common use cases, but local practice varies widely from unit to unit and user to user. To give users access to as much targeted support as possible, a robust schedule of drop-in hours and 1-on-1 sessions is available. Please note that drop-in hours will not include step-by-step walkthroughs of workflows; they are intended to serve as Q&A, troubleshooting, and discussion sessions. Users are expected to have reviewed the training materials prior to attending drop-in or 1-on-1 sessions.
