The present invention is called a document customizer. The document customizer captures and records changes made to an electronic and/or physical footprint of a data warehouse engagement by a knowledgeable field practitioner. The document customizer starts with a 'system-of-record' document which defines the starting system parameters of the data warehouse, as initially delivered to the customer (i.e., Logical Data Model, Physical Data Model, Metadata and system configuration templates). The document customizer allows the practitioner to archive and document the modifications made to the system-of-record and creates an on-line environment to document and time-stamp the modifications made to the data warehouse. The document customizer then creates a 'current' system-of-record document. Provisions are included to make additions and modifications to the (new) current document to allow text comments and notes to be input.

Method of generating user customized document incorporating at least a portion of discovery information recorded in the system of record database in data warehouse environment
