The content you create can be viewed either with a summary page displaying 2-3 categories of information and 4-5 pages covering one category each, or over 7 pages with each category having a page of its own.

The main bullet points in each category of information (except Scope In/Scope Out) can be seen in the page header section of other views if desired.
