About the User Manuals
The user manuals for Tourplan NX are a set of manuals, available both online and in print, that assist users to use the system.
They are designed to supplement training; not replace it. The guides can be used as reference material for queries and assistance after training has been completed.
NOTE:
User Manual Conventions: used in the user manuals to highlight different types of information
