==Using the wiki version of the flow chart==
 +
The wiki version of the flow chart takes you through a series of questions and steps to ultimately arrive at a performance goal.  The wiki version does not necessarily take you through each step shown in the pdf version of the flow chart.  The structure of the wiki version differs from the pdf version of the flow chart.  You can see the structure used for the wiki version at [[List of flow chart questions|this link]].

If you proceed through the flow chart using the wiki, we recommend you create a book to document the steps in the process.

Latest revision as of 23:37, 6 December 2022

A flow chart was developed to determine the appropriate performance goal or Flexible Treatment Option for a new development, redevelopment, or linear site. You may access a pdf version of the flow chart (File:Final MIDS Flow chart.pdf) or follow the flow chart through the sequence of questions using the Manual website.

If you would like a copy of the flowchart in Visio, so that you can edit it, please contact us.
