ABSTRACT
Cognitive Work Analysis is a paper-based process; analysts frequently using the framework often use graphical software tools such as 'Microsoft Visio' to support the creation of diagrams and representations for each of the phases. Features such as an ability to export all of the products to a 'Word document' with a single button click also make the report compiling process much simpler. An Abstraction Hierarchy is started by adding in nodes using the 'Add' buttons on the right hand side; the tool prompts the user with the order for adding nodes by highlighting the next row to be populated in yellow; this is advice only and the user can choose to ignore it. The main facility of this version of the Contextual Activity Template is to highlight the link between Functions and Situations, namely in what Situations a Function can occur and those where it typically occurs.
