About concept topics

  • Provide conceptual information, for example, about the architecture of a software.

  • Concept topics require no standard structure.

Best practices

  • Keep the topic short.

  • Structure the topic well with headlines and sub-headlines.

  • Make sure that the topic is self-contained and can stand on its own.

  • Reintroduce abbreviations that are mentioned in another topic.

  • Link to related topics (task, concept, reference).

  • If the topics become too long, split it up into several independent topics. Make sure that the split-up topics are still self-contained.

  • Use the Neptune icon library to insert icons of the service in the title.

  • Never use bold or italics in the title, even if you refer to another service.

  • Focus on the essentials and create separate topics for more specific explanations, if necessary.

  • Do not integrate tasks

  • In the Related topics section, list the task topics that depend on this concept topic as well as other relevant concept topics. If the list of related topics becomes too long, create subheadings.
