USERS AREN'T LIMITED OT JUST ONE DATA VIEW WHEN USING FED LOG'S INTERACTIVE SCREENS.

THE FLIS INTERACTIVE ICON MENU BAR HAS EIGHT DATA VIEWS.

Management

Freight

Characteristics

Historical

Reference

Supplier

Drawings

Custom

The management is the FLIS default. Along the left column the services/agencies that use the NSN are identified. DA is Army. You need only click on the other seven icons to get additional info.

The reference screen shows part numbers and CAGE codes and related data. Freight and supplier screens are self-explanatory.

The characteristics view gives clear text descriptions of the dimensions, weight, material, and physical attributes of the item. This information comes from FED LOG Disk 5. FED LOG Disk 6 contains representative drawings of he item, when available. (Disks 5 and 6 are purchase separately from the basic set.)

The historical view defines cancelled items and their codes that can no longer be procured.

The custom view is not available unless you have already defined what data is to be displayed. If you want to create a custom report that displays say just the NSN, item name, S/A SOS, and price, follow these steps. Pull down the File menu, choose PROPERTIES, then the CUSTOM VIEW tab. Make your choices from the list on the left by double-clicking on the item. Click OK when finished.

Army Interactive adds five more icons. The Army Master Data File management view contains more information than perhaps any other data view. The other four views are: packaging, SARSS cataloging, HAZMAT, and Related NSNs.
