Eclipse S1000D FM demo

We have a series of short videos demonstrating some of the features of the Mekon’s Eclipse S1000D for FrameMaker product. They have been produced to help users to see how some of the functions work and how easy some aspects of the application are to understand.

1. Inserting a Heading, Title and Paragraph in a Descriptive Data Module

Shows the ease of authoring when using Eclipse S1000D for FrameMaker which in some aspects is as easy to use as one’s favourite Word Processor.

13. Using the DRM to store Preliminary Requirements information

The Data Reference Manager can be used to store Preliminary Requirements items which can then be used to rapidly populate the Preliminary Requirements table in Procedural and other Data Module Types.

14. Using the Caption and Caption Group structure in your Data Modules

This short video shows how a very simple Caption arrangement can be created in a Data Module.

Working with Common Information Repositories

S1000D has provided the facility to have a series of common files containing information which can be referenced from standard Data Modules and defines the process which is to be used to display this information in the local Data Module.

The Eclipse S1000D application provides the interfaces necessary to enable users to utilise these features. The following short videos demonstrate how these features can be used.

1. Insertion of a Warning from a Warnings and Cautions repository

The Warnings and Cautions repository comprises a normal Descriptive Data Module which has been given an Information Code of 012 and a deviation code of A.

3. Using the Tools Repository

This video demonstrates how a Tools Table in a Procedural Data Module can extract information from the Tools Repository.
