Basics of using a typical web page

Using Online Help

This page allows you to retrieve the details of engineering documents  that are already defined. You can carry out the search using the engineering document number, revision number, category and applicability. The system displays details such as engineering document number, revision number, ED category and subject.

The “Help on Engineering Document” page appears.

Display Option

Use the drop-down list box to select any one of the following Display options.

  • Distinct Eng. Docs - To retrieve only the distinct engineering documents.

  • Eng. Docs & Appl. Group - To retrieve the engineering documents along with the applicability groups.

The system leaves the field ’Distinct Eng. Docs’ by default. The system defaults the value “Eng. Docs & Appl. Group” if the page is launched from the “Process Change Request” page.

Eng. Doc. #

Use the drop-down list box to select the Eng.Doc Type. The system loads all the "Active" 'Document Types' defined under the "Eng. Doc Type" in the 'Configure Document Attributes' activity under the 'Common Masters' business component interacting with the current login OU.

Enter the number identifying the engineering document for which the details are to be viewed (Alphanumeric, 40) in the adjacent text field. You can enter the number in full, or specify it partially using the “*” character. The system retrieves all the engineering documents that are similar to the value entered here.

Eng. Doc. Rev. #

The number identifying the revision made to the engineering document (Alphanumeric, 40). You can enter the number in full, or specify it partially using the “*” character. The system retrieves all the engineering documents with revision numbers similar to the value entered here.

Subject 

The textual description of the engineering document (Alphanumeric, 150). You can enter the subject in full, or specify it partially using the “*” character. The system retrieves all the engineering documents with description similar to the text entered here. 

Status 

Use the drop-down list box to select the status of the engineering document.  The system displays the options: “Closed”, “Fresh”, “Released” and “Revised”. The system retrieves all the engineering documents whose status match the status selected here. The system leaves this field blank by default.

Leave this field blank, if you wish to retrieve engineering documents irrespective of the status.

Category

Use the drop-down list box to select the category of the engineering document.  The system lists all the active quick codes that are of type “ED Category” as defined in the “Create Quick Codes” activity. The system retrieves all the engineering documents that belong to the category selected here. The system leaves this field blank by default.

Leave this field blank, if you wish to retrieve engineering documents irrespective of the status.

User Status

Use the drop-down list box to select the user-defined status of the engineering document.  The system lists all the active quick codes that are of type “ED User Status” as defined in the “Create Quick Codes” activity. The system retrieves all the engineering documents whose user-defined status match the status selected here. The system leaves this field blank by default.

Leave this field blank, if you wish to retrieve engineering documents irrespective of the status.

Applicability

Use the drop-down list box to select the applicability of the engineering document.  The system displays the options: “Aircraft”, “Component”, and “Engine”. The system retrieves all the engineering documents whose applicability match the option selected here. The system displays “Aircraft” by default.

ATA #

The ATA chapter of the engineering document (Alphanumeric, 16).   You can enter the number in full or specify it partially using the “*” character. The system retrieves all the engineering documents containing ATA chapter number similar to the value entered here. Leave the field blank to retrieve the all the engineering documents irrespective of the ATA chapter number.

Aircraft Reg #

The registration number of the aircraft (Alphanumeric, 30). You can enter the number in full or specify it partially using the “*” character. The system retrieves all the engineering documents applicable to the aircraft registration number entered here.

Aircraft Model #

The number identifying the aircraft model (Alphanumeric, 20). You can enter the number in full or specify it partially using the “*” character. The system retrieves all the engineering documents applicable to the aircraft model specified here.

Component #

The number identifying the component on which the ED must be executed (Alphanumeric, 90). You can enter the number in full or specify it partially using the “*” character. The system retrieves all the engineering documents executed on the component specified here.

Part # / Serial #

The number identifying the part on which the ED must be executed (Alphanumeric, 40). You can enter the number in full or specify it partially using the “*” character. The system retrieves all the engineering documents executed on the part specified here. Enter the serial number of the part on which the ED must be executed (Alphanumeric, 40) in the adjacent field.

The system fills in the following fields in the ”Search Results” multiline, based on the filter criteria entered:

Eng.Doc.Type

The type of engineering document.

Eng.Doc. #
