Below is a list of tips and tricks for the Manage Maintenance Program course. Click one of the items below to see information that may be helpful to you as you take the course.
There is a number of predefined User IDs for the IFS/Vehicle Information Management (IFS/VIM) courses. This makes it easier for the teacher as he/she does not have to define users when starting a training course. Also note that these users have been set up properly with company, site, employee, etc.
| User ID | Role | Student Number | Company | Site |
| VIM | Main VIM user | - | 10 | 91 |
| JATA | Teacher | - | 10 | 91 |
| CHBE | Student | n=1 | 10 | 91 |
| COHO | Student | n=2 | 10 | 91 |
| FRFO | Student | n=3 | 10 | 91 |
| GEPI | Student | n=4 | 10 | 91 |
| JABR | Student | n=5 | 10 | 91 |
| JOHA | Student | n=6 | 10 | 91 |
| MIJA | Student | n=7 | 10 | 91 |
| PERO | Student | n=8 | 10 | 91 |
| RIST | Student | n=9 | 10 | 91 |
| ROPA | Student | n=10 | 10 | 91 |
In the exercises you will see that most of the data are specified with prefix
"n", "X" or a combination of these.
Examples: nX747-900 (Part Number), X10000 (Serial Number) and nAC (Maintenance
Group).
The use of prefixes has several advantages:
- the "n" is used to identify data that belongs to
student number "n"
- the "X" makes it easy to query on the data you
are using in the IFS/Vehicle Information Management exercises (including predefined data)
- a query like "3X%" will normally fetch data that
belongs to student no 3.
- exercise text can be more specific when referring to data
elements
- the students do not have to create their own identifiers.
| Data Specification | Teacher | Student no. "n" |
| Vehicle Part No | X747-900 | X747-900 |
| Revision | T | n |
| Top Part S/N | TX10000 | nX20000 |
| Workshop | LAX-C LAX-L |
nLAX-C nLAX-L |
