Illustrated Parts Catalogs (IPCs) provide users with exploded views of a product, breaking it down into its individual components visually. This helps in identifying and locating required parts efficiently. In NIVOMAX Viewers, users experience enhanced functionality with IPCs, such as clickable callouts that directly link to related items in the parts item table. This interactive feature simplifies navigating through complex parts assemblies.

Illustrated Parts Data Publications (IPDPs) are utilized in the S1000D standard for displaying parts information in a user-friendly side-by-side layout within the viewer. These publications offer dynamic interactive capabilities, such as sorting and filtering options in the Parts Item Table, enhancing the user’s ability to manage and access parts data effectively.

Enhanced Interactive Features

• Callout Linking: Clickable parts in diagrams link directly to their descriptions in the parts table, and vice versa, highlighting the associated parts or diagrams interactively.
  

  In the IPDP (S1000D Data Libraries), callout linking between graphics and parts tables is not currently available on the Mobile Edition. This feature will be introduced when graphic hotspot highlighting is added in a future update.

• Dynamic Parts Item Table: Features column sorting and filtering to aid in data navigation and management, only available in IPDPs.
• Graphic Highlighting in IPDs: Clicking a part item link opens a new tab showing the part highlighted within the graphic.
• Graphic Highlighting in IPCs: Clicking a part item link scrolls up showing the part highlighted within the graphic.

Shopping Cart Functionality

The Shopping Cart feature in NIVOMAX Viewers allows users to add parts from the Illustrated Parts Catalogs or Data Publications into a cart for easy ordering. This tool is accessible from both the PDF Toolbar and the S1000D Toolbar, indicated by a shopping cart icon which turns green when items are added.

Key Features

• Adding Parts: Users can add parts to the cart by clicking on the part numbers, which are hotlinks within the Parts Item Tables.
