Documentation Changes

The CA Clarity PPM documentation has been improved to help you find information faster. The documentation changes include the following improvements:

• The product documentation that does not require a login to CA Support Online is also available through third-party search engines such as Google.
• The Portfolio Management User Guide is no longer included in the documentation set. The portfolio scenarios that are available on the bookshelf (Release Information and Announcements section) describe the new way to manage your portfolios.
