Insert graphics simply by previewing and picking the image from a list from our notusCSDB or the built-in Data Reference Manager (DRM). CGM Graphics containing hotspot information will automatically provide a selection tool to add all the necessary mark-up to the document to support hotspot references.

Easy access to items required for maintenance procedures information; ie spares, support equipment and supplies through the DRM. This comes as a standard part of the application with the tools to load the data into the DRM from a spreadsheet.

Authors can add standard warnings, cautions and notes from Common Information Repository Data Modules. The required content can be selected from a dialog and all required mark-up added to the document with a single click. The document can then be previewed with all the referenced content resolved to include all the text from the repository, and output to PDF, while still maintaining the source document in the correct form for use in electronic delivery.

The Eclipse tool allows customers to define separate sets of configuration data for different projects with the required configuration selected automatically based on the value of the data module’s Model Identification Code.

Customers can configure the output strings used for standard attribute values such as security classification, etc to provide local values which are then used by the stylesheets.

All issues of S1000D are supported from the earliest Issue 1.6 through to the latest Issue 5. New issues are added to the application as they are released and are available to customers frre as part of standard support.

All Data Module types for both SGML and XML are include with full print ready stylesheets for content related Data Module Types.

Eclipse is just one part of the S1000D toolset. Contiem provide a complete S1000D solution from content creation through management to delivery of print-oriented manuals and other publications. The content is fully compliant with the standard and is also ready for inclusion in other forms of electronic delivery.

Contiem have worked with Arbortext Editor for many years developing applications, stylesheets and tools to support various authoring needs. Although our S1000D tools are compliant with the standard we can develop local solutions for formatting or editing tasks. We also provide training in both the tools and in the standard so that users have an understanding of the requirements for structured authoring with S1000D.

Taking on an S1000D project can be a considerable task and needs a lot of pre-planning and well thought out implementation. The Contiem team can leverage their 20 years’ experience of structured topic based authoring to assist you with every step of the process.

All this is backed by the high standard of support provided by Contiem’s in-house support and development teams.
