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 |

In the Manage Master Configuration and Manage Serialized Configuration courses, the students will create their own basic
parts and structures. This ensures a distinct data integrity between students
when executing the exercises.
In the Manage Maintenance Program course, the exercises are based on predefined
parts and structures. The Manage Line Maintenance, Operate Asset and Maintenance
Visit courses are also based on
predefined data (different from data used for Manage Maintenance
Program). There is
also predefined data for the Handle Fleet Forecasting course.
This approach gives the instructor and the students a great flexibility:
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:
Data Specification | Teacher | Student no. "n" |
Vehicle Part No | X747-900 | nX747-900 |
Revision | * | * |
Top Part S/N | X10000 | nX20000 |
Structure Part S/N | X19999 | nX39999 |
Workshop | LAX-C LAX-L |
nLAX-C nLAX-L |
The executable named Vehicle Information Management includes all the functionality needed to complete exercises in this course and the other courses of IFS/VIM.
