FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about IETM and VizMan
What is an IETM (Interactive Electronic Technical Manual)?
An IETM is technical data stored digitally that delivers equipment principles, operation and maintenance content interactively through text, graphics, tables, audio and video (as defined by GJB 6600.1-2008). Compared with paper or linear electronic manuals, IETMs feature interactivity, integration, intelligence, rich media and data modularity, and are widely used in aerospace, defense, naval and rail industries.
What are the IETM levels?
Five levels are internationally recognized: Level 1 electronically indexed pages; Level 2 linear structured e-manuals (e.g. PDF); Level 3 linear interactive manuals (hyperlinks, hotspots); Level 4 hierarchical interactive manuals (database-driven, non-linear navigation — the common requirement for Chinese programs in recent years); Level 5 integrated interactive manuals (deep integration with supply chain and condition monitoring). VizMan IETM supports Level 4 and above.
How are S1000D and GJB 6600 related?
S1000D is the leading international specification for technical publications, built on Data Modules (DM) and the Common Source Database (CSDB). GJB 6600 is China's national military standard, based on S1000D Issue 2.3 adapted to domestic support practice. VizMan IETM natively supports both S1000D Issue 5.0 (the mainstream version in current Chinese engineering practice) and GJB 6600 with real-time structural validation; S1000D Issue 6.0 support is on the product roadmap.
What modules does VizMan IETM include?
VizMan IETM consists of five modules: Admin (SNS four-level coding, multi-project management, approval workflows, three-role security); Editor (A4 WYSIWYG editing, 20+ standard data module types, real-time validation, Word paste conversion); Publisher (PDF / encrypted IETP / Word output with applicability filtering); Reader (AI semantic search, 3D interactive navigation, step-by-step guidance, fully offline); and the TechAnim 3D editor (zero-barrier disassembly animation, hotspot annotation, section views).
Which operating systems and China-market platforms does VizMan IETM support?
VizMan IETM uses a pure web architecture — the authoring platform runs in a browser with no client installation. The Reader runs offline on Windows (including Win7), Kylin ARM and HarmonyOS, using embedded SQLite with zero configuration. Full-text search, 3D interaction and feedback management all work offline, suited to field, shipboard and cabin environments without network access.
How does VizMan IETM differ from traditional IETM software?
Traditional IETM software requires per-machine client installation — VizMan runs in a browser. Traditional tools edit raw XML — VizMan offers Word-style WYSIWYG editing. Traditional workflows need external 3D tools like Cortona3D or IsoDraw — VizMan ships with the zero-barrier TechAnim 3D editor. Traditional software offers keyword search only — VizMan provides AI semantic search and step-by-step fault guidance. Compliance moves from manual review to real-time automatic validation, and learning time drops from weeks to a single day.
