摘要

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatus, systems, computer program products for generating a list of parts for technical documentation for an item to be used in an interactive electronic technical manual system (IETM) configured to provide electronic and credentialed access to the documentation via an IETM viewer. In one embodiment, a method is provided comprising: importing a publication of a portion of the documentation into the IETM comprising an illustrated parts breakdown (IPB); identifying parts in the IPB; generating the list of parts based on the parts identified in the IPB; providing a window for display via the IETM viewer comprising a first view pane displaying the list of parts in which each part is selectable; receiving a selection of a particular part from the list; and responsive to receiving the selection, providing one or more illustrations for the part for display via a second view pane.
