This is my first time publishing a spare parts manual – what do I need to know?
Accurate and fast parts identification is the foundation of any supply chain. The wrong part will cost your client and possibly, your job. If you’ve been assigned the task of generating the technical documentation on a project, your job is getting it right, down to the lowest level replaceable part. There are a few key “newbie mistakes” that have long-term, high-cost consequences. That’s why we work with project managers and engineering teams to produce accurate parts manuals, accessible to the right people. Don’t worry – we’ll guide you through it. We’ve been doing this for decades.
What is LinkOne?
LinkOne is the industry standard in technical document publishing. LinkOne allows your business to publish exploded views and bills of materials in an easy to navigate, drill down type selection, right down to your smallest replaceable component. Generally, OEMs are required to provide a parts manual as part of product delivery. As the industry standard, LinkOne is familiar to and trusted by your customers.
LinkOne incorporates three different software solutions. They are:
- LinkOne Publisher – for data capturing and publishing
- LinkOne WinView – for data viewing on local installations
- LinkOne WebView – for online catalogue viewing
The benefit of LinkOne Publisher is that no matter what format or application your current data is in, the LinkOne Publisher will incorporate your existing data and transform it into a complete book ready for your customer to view.
LinkOne viewing solutions come in two forms: either LinkOne WinView for locally installed Windows systems, or LinkOne WebView, which forms a perfect online catalogue viewing solution.
The single publishing solution with the added flexibility of viewing solutions makes LinkOne an ideal option for any organisation to publish, view and then deliver technical documentation for both internal and external users.
What is LinkOne WinView Open Viewer?
An Open Viewer licence for LinkOne WinView enables the user to view LinkOne parts books produced by any LinkOne Publishing System, and therefore permits the viewing of LinkOne books produced by any of their equipment suppliers or OEMs.
What is a LinkOne WinView Publisher-Linked Viewer?
A Publisher-Linked Viewer for LinkOne WinView enables the user to view LinkOne books produced by a nominated publisher, for example, all books from one equipment supplier. Ideal if you are only viewing your own books, or books from one equipment supplier.
Is LinkOne suited to my industry?
LinkOne is the industry standard for heavy equipment OEMs and equipment maintainers, however, it is a versatile and detail-driven solution suited to any industry needing easy and accurate parts identification. This could include electronics, cars, motorbikes, boats and any industry where aftermarket parts identification is key to an efficient supply chain. Exclusive to DS TechWrite is the DST Parts Portal, a simple “bolt on” service that allows for streamlined parts pricing and order generation. Take a look here.
Why is LinkOne the standard in electronic technical documentation?
Unlike other software solutions, LinkOne software was built, and continues to be enhanced, using real world customer and market requirements. This has enabled the developers to build a solution that not only meets, but exceeds its customers’ requirements and expectations, including those ones they didn’t know about yet. DS TechWrite has also “built on the LinkOne platform” to provide our clients with exclusive access to streamlined aftermarket parts ordering with the LinkOne based DST Parts Portal solution.
What role does DS TechWrite play in creating our LinkOne manual?
DS TechWrite provides four standards of service for OEMs. We’ve been working with your industry and with LinkOne for decades. Our Brisbane team can advise on the very best use of LinkOne for you – and your customers across Australia.
