PROVIDING ENHANCED FUNCTIONALITY IN AN INTERACTIVE ELECTRONIC TECHNICAL MANUAL
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatus, systems, computer program products for providing an electrical schematic associated with wiring data found in technical documentation for an item via an interactive electronic technical manual system (IETM) configured to provide electronic and credentialed access to the technical documentation via an IETM viewer. In one embodiment, a method is provided comprising: providing a window comprising the electrical schematic in which a plurality of wires and a plurality of components shown in the electrical schematic are selectable; receiving selection of a wire; responsive to receiving the selection: generating a diagram comprising the wire and a plurality of terminal ends for the wire; and providing a wire window for display via the IETM viewer comprising a first view pane displaying the diagram and a second view pane in which each portion of the wire between two terminals ends is selectable.
PROVIDING ENHANCED FUNCTIONALITY IN AN INTERACTIVE ELECTRONIC TECHNICAL MANUAL
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatus, systems, computer program products for performing functionality requiring network connectivity in an interactive electronic technical manual system (IETM) configured to provide electronic and credentialed access to technical documentation for an item. In one embodiment, a method is provided comprising: receiving input comprising informational data; and responsive to receiving the data: generating a graphical security code; receiving input indicating a scanning of the code, wherein the scanning of the code (1) is performed by a user using a remote device connected to a network and (2) causes access to scanning functionality provided by an application installed on the device; and responsive to receiving the input: generating a graphical form code comprising the data; and causing display of a third window comprising the code, wherein the code can be scanned using the application to send the data to a third party over the network.
PROVIDING ENHANCED FUNCTIONALITY IN AN INTERACTIVE ELECTRONIC TECHNICAL MANUAL
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatus, systems, computer program products for submitting an order for a part in an interactive electronic technical manual system (IETM) configured to provide electronic and credentialed access via an IETM viewer to technical documentation for an item. In one embodiment, a method is provided comprising: receiving selection of an ordering mechanism associated with the part; and responsive to receiving the selection: querying a stock identifier based on a part identifier, querying data for the part from a remote system based on the stock identifier, retrieving an electronic interactive order form based on the item, auto-populating the order form with the data, and providing the order form via a pop-up window for display via the IETM viewer, wherein the form is configured to allow the user to edit the data and/or enter additional data and the form provides one or more submit order mechanisms.
PROVIDING ENHANCED FUNCTIONALITY IN AN INTERACTIVE ELECTRONIC TECHNICAL MANUAL
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatus, systems, computer program products for supporting communication functionality in an interactive electronic technical manual system (IETM) configured to provide electronic and credentialed access via an IETM viewer to technical documentation for an item. In one embodiment, a method is provided comprising: providing a window comprising a communication session option; receiving input of a selection of the communication session option; responsive to receiving the input: identifying active users who are signed into the IETM for a particular object of the item based on credentials for the user and the user being signed into the IETM for the particular object; and causing display of an identifier for each active user on the window as selectable; receiving input of a selection of an indicator for an active user; and responsive to receiving the input, initiating a communication session with the active user within the IETM.
DISSIMILAR BUT RELEVANT SEARCH ENGINE RESULTS
A search engine is configured to return search results with increased diversity among the search results. When a query is received from a client device, items are identified as search results for the query and grouped into categories. The categories are also grouped into classes. A user interface is generated with items grouped together by category and categories grouped together by class. The user interface is returned to the client device as a response to the query.

Automated Field Placement for Uploaded Documents
Users of a database management engine may generate fillable digital documents by mapping interface elements onto form documents. When a user maps interface elements onto a form document, the user may accidentally overlap two or more interface elements. To rectify this, the database management engine may modify the position of one of interface elements based on a set of positioning rules. In addition, the database management engine may identify and suggest mappings to users based on similar documents that have been previously mapped. The database management engine identifies similar documents using information about the document, the user, and the mapping itself. The mapping associated with the most similar document may be provided to the user as a suggested mapping. The database management engine converts the form document and finalized mapping into a fillable digital document. The fillable digital document is sent to recipients, who complete the fillable digital document.

METHOD FOR FACETED VISUALIZATION OF A SPARQL QUERY RESULT SET
Embodiments use successive refinement to allow a user to systematically explore the result set of an arbitrary query over RDF, such as a SPARQL query. A user inputs an arbitrary base query and modifies this query by replacing selected variables with values to which each selected variable is bound within the result set of the base query. Embodiments present, via a GUI, variable facets that may be substituted for query variables. Embodiments also present, through a GUI, a query history graph that represents query versions that a user has created. A user may navigate this query history graph to return to previously-created query versions. The GUI also provides information about the facets, including a number of results that would be included in the result set of the query version resulting from substitution of the facet for the associated variable.
