An online help tool that contains user procedures for completing tasks in SMART Used in training to perform a simulation of a SMART task or to be used during an activity as a help guide UPKs are also available after training on the SMART Training website UPKs are simulated to have the look and feel of SMART, but do not impact the production environment. It is a safe way to practice tasks that you perform in SMART. Training Materials Overview User Productivity Kits (UPKs)
