Following certain good practices avoids common pitfalls that can adversely affect a repository and the validity and quality of its entries and storage capacity which must be considered. These pitfalls are :
Simple and Convenient Work Flow is made possible through integrated Tasking (In-Tray of workload), Design-Strategy (Graphic Spec), Audit (navigable edit history), Specialized Designers (compartmental) and Resource Management (Fonts, Symbols and Templates) and Preliminary View all easily accessible
Always be fully aware of the visual elements you create in your compositions. When possible rather try to opt for a System Font (negligible) opposed to a Path Font (bloating) and Archetype Shape (negligible) opposed to Path Shapes (bloating). Every graphic compositions footprint should always be economical.
The disciplined referencing of Design Strategy (define requirement) and consistent use of Symbol and Symbology Templates for saving clean changes to the Repository only after they have been approved. Making sure graphic compositions conform to requirements during review avoiding redundant entries.
Achieved through effective design practices like Cloning, Embedding, Symbols (Shape Compositions) and Contexts (Enveloping Symbologies) allowing for optimum reuse of visual elements allowing their algorithms to lesser maintenance and optimise economic usage of storage space and data bundles.
