RepairData
DataMill LLC is happy to announce that “RepairCenter” has been retired and “RepairData” is
here to stay. After much confusion about the difference between the name of our software and
the URL of our domain name, we at DataMill LLC have decided to simplify things. Since we have
an enterprise asset management focus, we strive to make things as simple and comprehensive
as possible. During this transition there may be a few random “RepairCenters” still viewable.
We are in the process of updating all training materials, Help Desk guides, and website from the
old to the new. These sections are where the transition could take the longest. We appreciate
the feedback concerning the confusion and we are striving to eliminate the issue..

Pre-Defined Code
Tables
The Manage code table
screen for some code
tables has been
changed. If the admin
can only activate or
inactivate the values,
the new layout makes
this simple and easy.
Just mark or un‐mark
the checkbox and save.
The most common way is to manage a
configuration from within a maintenance
action. On the MA parts screen, click
"Change the Configuration." This opens
the Configuration Tree screen. When you
click on one of the nodes, you will see a
details pop‐up window that will have a
button: "Manage from MA."
The other method to change a
configuration is to simply do it from the
Configuration Tree screen, without using
an MA. If a user with the needed rights
pulls up the Configuration Tree screen
directly (Not from an MA).
There are now two permissions in the View User Profile that control who can use
these methods.
"Change from Treeview" ‐‐ This enables a user to change a configuration without
using an MA.
"Change from MA" ‐‐ This enables a user to change a configuration from within an
MA.
Making changes to a configuration outside of an MA does NOT create a record of
the change. Best practice is to make changes to a configuration from within an
MA. Managing a configuration outside of an MA should be limited to admins who
might need to make changes that do not need to be documented.

information.

intelligence software
and services for
logistics, we have been

Open Tickets Report
A new report is available regarding the help ticket
system. When viewing the Help desk at RepairData >
Help menu > Help desk, there is now a menu called,
"Reports."
This menu allows you to access the "Open Tickets"
report.
This report will show you at a glance any open tickets
for your program. Rather than having to look at each
open ticket to determine course of action, you can look
at this report.
The report shows the Ticket ID number, the current
Status, the Date the ticket was created, the Action (the
latest action in the ticket), and something new: "Status
note."
"Status note" is where DataMill personnel will be placing
notes about what needs to happen next for the ticket.
For example, a common status note would be, "This is
fixed, please verify." Or, "Please look at the last action
and if it resolves the ticket, please close."
Other examples might include, "We are working on
this," or "This ticket is waiting for approval."
Program administrators can save time by viewing this
report and immediately seeing the next actions,
whether those actions are for your program personnel,
or for DataMill.

Due In For Maintenance (DIFM)
Is your program using DIFM?
The Due in for Maintenance (DIFM)
feature in RepairData is now a custom
rule. If you use DIFM in your program,
check to make sure this custom rule is
enabled.
A DIFM transaction is when a reparable
item number is issued and an equivalent
exchange item is expected.

Visibility Tracking
Track crucial information for specified item numbers on the serialization level.
The RepairData visibility module allows you to designate your most important
serialized items as “Visibility tracked.” With visibility tracking, the Visibility
home screen becomes a center for immediate crucial information for these
most important assets.
A visibility‐tracked item is more important than an item that is only serialized.
These are the end‐items, the weapon systems, or major sub‐systems. These are
items that if you had to give an immediate status briefing of your system, you
would detail the major components.
The added tracking is found on the Visibility home screen. On this screen the
number of "Visibility assets" are presented and there is a section "Serialized
asset location" that shows where all Visibility‐tracked assets are, regardless of if
they are in stock, fielded, or in maintenance.
