Questions about this service
How does this differ from a business index?
Compilation focuses on records and fields; an index focuses on categories, tags and routes for finding records. Both can concern the same collection.
How should a compilation requirement be described?
Email formats, volume, intended fields and main problems, then discuss handover, processing rules and implementation.
