Interactive Electronic Technical Publications are electronic display systems of organized publications to present information of product description, operation and maintenance. Interactive Electronic Technical Publications or IETP screens can be interactive with the inclusion of conditional branching mechanisms on the basis of user feedback; parameters are evaluated at runtime, and their values depend on contextual and user inputs. Paper-based flow charts can be easily converted as well as made interactive with S1000D Yes No schemes as well as Switch cases.

An S1000D IETP can be built on the outlined functionality and presentation of S1000D specifications v4.0.

Classes of IETP

There is no particular categorization for IETPs. The Functionality Matrix included in all specifications of S1000D issue displays levels of complexity needed for S1000D IETP viewing tool.

Features & Specifications

IETP functionalities can be specified in the Functionality Matrix Issue of the S1000D version that can be used in the process of Technical Documents conversion. Based on issue 4.0 of S1000D specification, here are some of the features of S1000D IETP features:

Access: It includes Login, Suspend, Restart and Exit

Annotation: Action complete indicator Global data, local data and Personal Annotations Redlining Text and Graphics

Delivery and distribution: Physical media, printed publications and its distribution over the network

Diagnostics: Software-driven entry, user-determined entry, dynamic data diagnostics wire or fluid system tracings, system simulation and prognostics

External processes: Transmittal, retrieval of publications, maintenance data collection and operator debriefing, parts, deficiency / improvement report transmittal, and resource scheduling and knowledge management.

Graphics: Pan, zoom, expand, magnify of text and illustrations, assembly or disassembly of parts, locator graphics and 3D modelling

Linking: It includes internal and external references, hot References, linkage to separate parts data, hot-spotting, table of contents (TOC), tables and Illustrations, and list of the figure.

Printing: It consists of Data module specific printing, Screen print, the printing of Complete Book version, and Linked data print.

Special Content: In this section, Front Matter and supporting technical data, Emergency procedures, Warnings and cautions, Context-sensitive help for Viewer and user training, Photos, Audio, Motion Video and Animations, and Tech Data content help.

Updates: Block cycle and urgent changes, Active and Passive change indications and markings, and Full change.

User operation Mode: Standalone mode, Web browser viewable and Network Connectivity.

Other Standards and Features of S1000D IETP

Powerful search: Users can look for any of data module codes, part numbers, fault isolation, and other defined in the process of business rules of exchange as well as navigate to the content.

IPDs and its maintenance: Illustrated parts data can help in defining complete part details, user can navigate as well as understand the specific part in detail. Such parts can keep and maintain with the help of the inventory module.

Interactive illustrations and wiring diagrams: Wiring diagrams and illustrations are made more powerful by separating parts, parts grouping with several colors linking all parts to detailed part illustration.

Conditional branching mechanisms: Thanks to S1000D IETP, a technician can perform diagnostic methods for fault isolation, its fixing or replacement with complete indicators that follow all steps. All steps are linked to a detailed diagram that displays the procedure to follow.

Maintenance and operations data collection: All the maintainers as well as operators, can perform actions and collect data for auditing as well as trail purpose.

There are a number of companies that provide S1000D IETP software to benefit your business operations. If you want to get such features, simply get in touch with the right company or service provider.
