7. Your Feedback – 2012 Client Survey
- “Search could be better but over all I find the extranet to be a very valuable resource. Online
logging and forums would be very useful as an addition.”
- “ I use it all the time. Of great value are the hidden gems not included in the regular
documentation, like date formatting, tricks with the <title> element, et cetera.”
- “Much of the guidance on the extranet is useful but it tends to cover things I already know. I
have found on a few occasions that I go to the extranet looking for something more than we
got in the original training only to find that it repeats that training without answering my query.
But I suppose I should be using the feedback facility you provide on each page. I find a lot of
the 'Build notes' a bit irrelevant but these maybe useful for more technically minded people.”
