Features in the upcoming public release of the TDW IPS Toolkit

The first commercially available version of the IPS Toolkit will include:

S1000D Toolkit

BrDoc_circle
BrDoc Builder

Presenting you with all the decisions to be made as you start your S1000D journey. All BRDPs, Priority, Severity and BREX flags are options you are able to set within your IPS Toolkit Map.

XML_circle
BrDoc to XML

Once we have built our map we must be able to make it available to others on our project. If your preference is to work with XML the BrDoc is exported to an S1000D BrDoc XML file (Issue 4.2).

Export_Excel_circle
BrDoc to Excel

The reality of most projects is that the requirement to send Excel spreadsheets for review and comment is needed. A nicely filtered and presented Excel export option is available.

DMRL_circle
DMRL Builder

A heavy task of all S1000D projects is the need to define and detail the modules that we are going to produce on our project. The DMRL Builder allows you to visually do this quickly!

Input from external stakeholders is made easier with a simple export to Microsoft Excel and you can share your DMRL. Many CSDB vendors will import the TDW IPS DMRL ready for work!

Cost_Circle
Cost Calculator

One of the biggest challenges around any S1000D project is the ability to forecast cost and resource allocation. The IPS Toolkit has built-in abilities to help you get there!

Another task made easier using the built-in MindManager tools and the TDW IPS Toolkit functions. Building your projects SNS structure from new or based on S1000D managed structures.

IETP Checklist

The S1000D IETP functionality matrix is a reasonable starting point, but it is now a little dated and does not represent the questions we should be asking today of our vendors.
