TRACE organizes information in the following manner:

●     A TRACE administrator creates a new project, which is the highest tier in the organizational process. See Projects.

●      As part of creating the project, TRACE modules are selected to best meet the project needs. The type of information that a PM needs to maintain to best manage the project determines the modules that the TRACE administrator or PM selects to organize information. See Modules and Standard Modules for additional information on TRACE standard modules.

●     Each module type contains form types that project staff use to add or edit project-related information. Forms can be organized either sequentially or in a tree structure, depending on their purpose. See Forms for additional information.

●      Forms are made up of a list of related fields, which ultimately determine the information that makes it into the project database. See Fields for additional information.
