User Manual - e-Builder at MIT
e-Builder users can review e-Builder @ MIT Terminology and read the e-Builder @ MIT Basic Skills manual. The manual, at this time, should be considered as a DRAFT. Information is edited and added frequently as e-Builder continues to be rolled out in stages.
The manual can be read on line, or you can print the manual or just selected pages by exporting and printing in PDF format. The option to export to PDF is on the Tools menu.
The manual covers skills that all e-Builder users should know and has been tailored to reflect MIT's e-Builder implementation.
The links below allow you to navigate directly to the major sections of the manual.

Role Based Process Documentation
Processes support specific MIT workflows that have been custom built into e-Builder. Much of your work within e-Builder will take place after you receive a notification that a process or workflow requires your review or action in e-Builder. Read this information about processes before you use e-Builder to document your projects.
Keep in mind that when you are performing tasks specific to your role, what you see on an e-Builder page and your ability to work with certain information or fields is different than that seen by other roles.
Use this table to identify your role and review the actions you may be asked to take on various processes in e-Builder.
