In connection with purchase of
the DCMS software tool and a desire to better understand the use, capabilities,
assumptions, and technical limitations of the software, ARA has created a 1
hour web-based training session to better understand how to use the tool. The
web based training must be viewed with a web browser and will expire after 7
days.
