An approved instruction either in paper or electronic form which guides about how an activity shall be executed.

Examples are user guides, documentation in health care , on-line help, thesis writing .

Documentation is distributed via websites, software products, and other on-line applications

RECORD KEEPING

The activity of organizing and storing all the documents, files, invoices, etc. relating to a company's or organization's activities. A record is often considered as document.

Records provide evidence that activities have been performed or results have been achieved.

They always document the past.

DOCUMENT VS RECORD

ACTIVITY, YOU HAVE NOT

DONE IT”.
