  • File Organization Guidelines V3.Pages
    ARC File Organization Guidelines Revised 2018-09-07 Summary Save your files within a local folder called Projects. Name each subfolder with a unique project number and description, such as “21416.0000 UNM-G Campus FMP Update.” Make it easy for your team members to locate and traverse your work. Standard Folders The root directory of an ARC workstation typically contains the following notable folders: Applications Library Projects Proposals System Users: AccountName: Public: Drop Box Desktop Downloads Refer to your project manager, office manager, or the ARC Time Sheets web application for a list of active project numbers. Project Organization The Projects folder is the central location in which your work files reside. Inside, create subfolders for each of your active projects. Name each of these project folders with a pre- assigned numeric code and descriptive title. Examples of individual project folder names: 21416.0000 UNM-G Campus FMP Update 21506.0000 NMSU Carlsbad Early Childhood Center 98000.4000 Research and Development The Proposals folder contains material for work bids and marketing resources. Each subfolder within Proposals should contain the solicited entity’s name and the four-digit year of the submission. 1 Proposals and pre-project work lack a unique identifier code, but may fall under the category of “98000.100 - Administrative - Marketing.” Examples of individual proposal folder names: Colfax County CP 2014 Taos Pueblo Planning 2012 Roswell PS FMP 2015 Project Subfolders Store project documents inside their designated project directory. Ideally, a project folder should be a self-contained root entity with no external dependancies. It may be helpful to group files by category, such as all image files grouped within “Graphics” and all Excel workbooks in “Spreadsheets.” Some examples of project subfolders appear below: Projects: 21416.0000 UNM-G Campus FMP Update: Graphics InDesign RFP Notes PDFs Reference Correspondence Spreadsheets You can also use a Spotlight search query1 as a non-hierarchal meta-folder.

  • Customizing Mac OS X
    03 539116 Ch03.qxd 3/25/03 10:30 AM Page 65 3 Customizing Mac OS X ac users have always been a creative bunch. One way that creativity manifests itself is in the way we like M to customize our computers. Nearly every aspect of Mac OS X can be adjusted, enhanced, or otherwise tweaked to suit your personality and your individual style of working. Some modifications are just for fun, while others can boost your productivity, save you time, and make your Mac a genuine partner in your work. The techniques covered in this chapter all involve some sort of customization. Whether it’s sprucing up your toolbars with additional icons, turning your desk- top into an animated aquarium, or bringing back your favorite interface features from Mac OS 9, the next sev- eral techniques can help you to make your Mac truly personal. Some of the techniques even contradict each other a bit (“Add more icons to your Dock! No, wait — remove them all!”), but that reflects the delightful real- ity that we all “think different.” Choose the techniques that best fit your needs and interests. 03 539116 Ch03.qxd 3/25/03 10:30 AM Page 66 03 539116 Ch03.qxd 3/25/03 10:30 AM Page 67 TECHNIQUE 10 PUTTING MORE “TOOL” IN YOUR TOOLBARS .
