What Options do i ....

[Peter F]

Hi All,

I have been tasked a mini project to build a toolkit in order that we can
complete our daily tasks. I have most of the files etc, that we use on a day
to day basis.

There are word, Excell, PDF with some additional JPG files. My question is i
would like to collate all these files into one file to make it easier to
navigate.

What is the best possible solution for this? I know there is an application
called OneNote is this the best product for my task.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards.

Without knowing your business processes and how your organization defines
"toolkit", or what you plan to do with it, it's difficult to make a
recommendation.

OneNote is a note-taking system, so I doubt it's what you're looking for.

Can you describe more about what your process involves? You should
definitely define the process before identifying a technical solution for
it.

Hi Mezzodiva,

Basically we have various checksheets we use on a day to day basis when
visiting sites, in addition to that we also have various flowcharts which
need to be adheered to plus many other items such as Work Instructions etc.

Hope this helps.

When you say "sites" do you mean physical locations, or web sites? If you
mean physical locations, do your employees take their laptops from place to
place?

You could create a Word document or HTML document, or even an Excel document
that contains hyperlinks to all the other documents that are stored in a
common folder. Or, you could embed the related documents into a Word
document.

Older versions of Office had a file aggregation application called "Binder"
but it's not available any longer.

Hope that helps.

Hi Mezzodiva,


Yes when i say sites i mean physical locations.

I intend to put whatever toolbox i implement onto a webserver and whenever
we go out to site we would download the toolbox from the server to use on
site.

Would / Is Excell the only option i have.

Thanks for the reply very much appreciated?

There are several programs you can use to create HTML, including Word or
Excel. You could actually bundle all the related documents in a ZIP file
that you then create a link to in an HTML document. That might be a nice,
simple solution.
