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.
