Highlights and New Features of stdSEM
Annotated checklists for producing documents
The new stdSEM encompasses checklists - in the form of annotated tables of contents - for producing documents. This allows you to gain a clearer picture of what is actually meant and what is actually important for the project in the particular context.
Examples of documents
Alongside the annotated tables of contents are examples for possible contents of documents in order to provide a guide for writing documents using the example of specific texts.
Word for Windows and FrameMaker templates
Word for Windows and FrameMaker templates are available for all documents and can be obtained directly from the stdSEM web. The explanations for the individual sections are set out in a blue, italicized print format (= the annotations familiar from the checklist). The FrameMaker templates can be retrieved from a central location ("Documents").
Activity checklists
Systematically structured checklists are available for many activity descriptions and are intended to help you execute the particular activity.
Activity tips
Practical tips are available for many activity descriptions and are intended to support the particular activity.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Separate pages with FAQs (questions and corresponding answers) are provided for the individual descriptions of activities and results. The FAQ pages should become more extensive as we receive further questions from users. If you have any particular questions or ideas, please contact us (e-mail and feedback pages in stdSEM). We will try to answer your questions and incorporate them into the FAQ pages.
Tools
Many activities have their own pages which list suitable tools to facilitate your work (some of these also have links to a more detailed description and to contact persons).


Links to the "outside world" (to the intranet)
Information on many themes is already available in the Siemens AG Österreich network (e.g. guidelines, information on support centers, bulletins, QA manuals, etc.). While this information does not lie in stdSEM's area of competence, links are supported at appropriate locations to allow you rapid access to the latest information.
