What Atlas does
Atlas helps people understand SAP and carry consulting work forward. Use it for a technical question, a functional investigation, a solution comparison or a substantial working document. The same project context follows the work between conversations, files, business changes and SAP objects.
The consulting workspace
Section titled “The consulting workspace”| Destination | Use it to |
|---|---|
| Desk | Resume relevant work, see requests for attention or ask a question. |
| Work | Discuss a problem and open useful material beside the conversation. |
| Files | Find, read and edit project material and see relevant proposed changes. |
| Changes | Review document proposals and the business changes they support. |
| SAP | Explore processes, configuration, objects, code and relationships. |
Administrative tools live in Settings or beside the work they affect.
The question determines the answer
Section titled “The question determines the answer”A developer asking about a table’s keys needs exact identifiers and a concise explanation. A functional consultant may need a process sequence. An architect comparing options needs aligned trade-offs. An executive briefing should lead with the decision and business consequences.
Atlas can combine prose, lists, code, field tables, comparisons, process steps and relationships. These are useful ways of explaining something, not steps every answer must pass through. Sources are available for inspection when the answer uses them. Specific uncertainty should appear where it affects the recommendation.
Develop the material, keep the conversation
Section titled “Develop the material, keep the conversation”Open a document beside Work, resize the two surfaces or expand the material. On a small screen, switch between them. Your draft conversation and document selection remain available.
Documents retain their authored structure, including headings, tables and supported images. A proposed revision is separate from the current document until you review and apply it. Human edits and unrelated sections remain part of the document. Linked requirements can bring the current requirement and affected document into Work for a targeted review of the design, estimate or tests.
Continue with the team
Section titled “Continue with the team”Save useful work deliberately. A request to a colleague should say what to do and what to return. Their returned result becomes context for continuation; it does not silently rewrite a specification or close the request.
Project membership and document visibility control access. A recommendation, observation and recorded system action are different things. Atlas does not treat model prose as authorization to write to SAP.
Start with a real question
Section titled “Start with a real question”Start working with Atlas, then bring in the project material that helps answer it. You do not need to create a document, task or change for every question.
