Bug 50
Summary: AIM-I-2008-004 - Add the Developing Authorities functionality that is contained in the TCCD
Module.
Product: LO Module
The LO Module does not contain the Developing Authorities functionality that is contained in the TCCD
Module.
This functionality would provide the same advantages (e.g., more granular levels of permissions; locking
out unauthorized users from making modifications) in the LO Module that is currently in the TCCD
Module; therefore, I recommend adding this functionality to the LO Module.
Bug 135
Summary: ECGs should be selectable in the LOM
Product: LO Module
If "Instructor Led" is selected in the CPM as a Delivery Method for a Lesson or Section, once the course is
imported into the LOM, the user should be able to select/create ECGs for that Lesson/Section (once the
ECG module is added in AIM I/II V5.0).

Summary: Add capability to suggest a new KSATR
Product: CPM
While in the Projects tab, the user has the capability to "Suggest a new Subtask." The user should be
able to suggest a new supporting knowledge for the selected Task/Subtask/Step. The user should also be
able to "Suggest a new Step" for the selected Subtask.
Bug 137
Summary: Help menu needs help
Product: CPM
I have two specific comments concerning the Help menu and one general comment.
Specific comment #1: In the Index tree in the Help menu, the word "Projects" is spelled "Projetcs."
Specific comment #2: I created a new Project to test a bug. When I completed my testing, I attempted to
delete this project, but I was unable to figure out how to delete it. I accessed the Help menu, and it said,
under Projects, that I could delete the project by clicking on the Delete (X) icon, but there was no Delete
icon on the screen. I asked Jamie Stewart how to do this, and he said that I first had to "deactivate" the
project. Once I deactivated the project, the Delete icon appeared, and I was able to delete the project.
The Projects section of the Help menu should be updated to state that a Project must be deactivated
before it can be deleted. (I do not know if this also applies to Modules, Lessons, and Sections, but if it
does, the Help menu should be updated for these elements as well.)
General comment #1: I found the CPM Help menu to be woefully inadequate. Each time I accessed it, I
was unable to find the information that I was looking for. Clicking on items in the menu tree in the Index
took me to screens that had nothing to do with what I was looking for except that the "word" I was
looking for was used in that screen; however, there was no amplifying information about that "word." I
am quite satisfied with the AIM I Help menu, but the CPM Help menu needs a lot of work.
Bug 146
Summary: Add "Author" field to learning objectives
Product: CPM
I received the following enhancement request from Joe Lawlis (NGES-MS).
I would like to suggest that a field be added to identify the contractor responsible for each learning
objective. Speaking with Dr. Durham of LSI, she agreed that such a feature would be most helpful for her
team in identifying who to contact should questions arise.
Gerry Cullison (SP-20563) added the following modification.
I think this would be helpful, but we are the only ones using Contractors as SMEs to develop these
objectives I believe, so it would not be a field for contractor -- perhaps "Author" instead. Then a guy like
Joe could enter "Joe Lawlis (NGES-MS)."
Bug 147
Summary: Report naming
Product: CPM
Attachments: TCCD report name, TPP report name
I received the following CPM enhancement request from Mike Lueken (LMSSC).
In the CPM Project Tab, Report filename assignment is not consistent or optimal. Please refer to the
attached files for representative screen shots.
In CPM Report0.jpg, you can see that CP assigns a very descriptive filename to TCCD Reports – it
includes the type of report (TCCD) the Project Name, and the date. However, CPM Report1.jpg shows an
identical report pull for a TPP, and the assigned filename fails to include the Project Name. This will
prevent clear self-identification of report files after they have been generated, unless the operator
knows that he/she needs to take action. Recommend appending the Project Name to all the Project
report files, along with the type of report and date.
Bug 148
Summary: Lesson Length does not update properly
Product: CPM
Attachments: Screen prints of lesson length errors
File 2 of screen prints of lesson length errors
It was reported to me that the "Facilitate simulator training sessions" lesson in the MT Continuum Technician course did not update properly when the Length was inserted and saved in the subordinate
section. (There is only one section under this lesson.) The attached Word document shows six screen
prints that show the problem.
Figure 1 is a screen print of the section, which shows a length of 20 minutes.
Figure 2 is a screen print of the lesson, which shows a lesson length of 0:00.
It should have been 0:20.
Figure 3 is a screen print of the section where I changed the length to 15 minutes and saved it.
Figure 4 is a screen print of the lesson, which shows a lesson length of 0:-05.
The time is wrong, and it also contains a minus sign.
Figure 5 is a screen print of the section where I changed the length to 44 minutes and saved it.
Figure 6 is a screen print of the lesson, which shows a lesson length of 0:24.
It does not contain a minus sign, but the time is wrong.
I was not able to enter any time into the section where it was accurately reflected in the lesson.
Comment 1 Jamie Swaim 2010-08-14 15:21:11 EDT
While reviewing CPM lessons and section, I came across another lesson that did not indicate the correct
lesson length. Refer to the screen print in attachment "CPM Bug Report - Lesson Length Errors - File
2.doc." In it you will see that the lesson length is indicated as 1:00; however, there are four sections to
this lesson, and each one has a length of 20 minutes, so the lesson should indicate 1:20.

Summary: User Notifications When Course Section is Modified in CITRIX
Product: LO Module
There is no transparency between users modifying sections of the course. Any user given the edit
privilege can modify the sections they have access to without the other users’ knowledge.
Recommendations: Add some kind of notification to other users of the course of the sections that are
modified.
Comment 1 Ron Zinnato
Here's some amplification from Orlando Ferase: There have been cases at one site that documents have
been updated without the knowledge of the main developers particularly sections that do not get
flagged and therefore we don't know who touched them last. The ACR was generated with one
purpose: to generate a notification of some sort to all the assigned permissions (users) to a course of
what document and section was modified. I believe that the site is anticipating notifications via email.
You might have other easier ideas to accomplish the task.
Bug 183
Summary: Most recently used items
Product: CPM
In the past, conditions, standards, and task source items displayed in a complete system list containing
elements from all Centers. While this type of display is effective, the users would benefit from having a
shorter list which displays only the top ten recently used items with an option to ‘see all’ when desired
to speed up the selection of such items during the JDTA process.
In order to do this effectively:
1. Allow sorting of most recently used conditions, standards, and task source for JDTA process.
2. System will determine which items were most recently entered by the user for display of top 10
most recently used items
3. Create drop-down lists of top 10 most recently used items in the JDTA process (to be displayed in
selection screen if the user is only viewing the top 10 most recently used items).
4. Allow user to select multiple items (condition, standard, or task source) from most recently used
items list for linking to JDTA elements (ability to highlight one or multiple items for selection).
5. Allow user to select a check box to ‘show all’ to display items in a given area (condition, standard, or
task source) to link to JDTA elements where applicable.
6. The most recently used items will display at the top of selection screen, right after the selected
entries if the user selects ‘show all’.
Bug 188
Summary: Period is not inserted automatically at end of RIA
Product: LO Module
For RIAs in a Section, the program does not automatically insert a period at the end as it does for RIAs in
the LP Module.
The user can insert a period at the end of the text in the after text, but this doesn't work unless there is
preceding text. If there is no preceding text, the program will insert a space before the period.
Please add the same functionality for automatically inserting a period at the end of a Section RIA in the
LO Module that currently exists in the LP Module.

Summary: Cannot select superscript or subscript for Section elements
Product: LO Module
A DP for a Section is listed as CO2. When I accessed this element, I found that I could not make the "2"

Please add the ability to select a superscript or subscript font for Section elements in the LO Module.
Comment 1 Jamie Swaim 2011-08-07 22:33:56 EDT
This functionality should be added anywhere in a Section where the user can type in text.
Bug 190
Summary: Sheets are not numbered correctly in LO Module
Product: LO Module
I had to correct a graphic in a diagram sheet in MT Continuum, Phase 6, Module 1, Lesson 8, Section 1.
When I finished with my modifications, I previewed the diagram sheet. The preview showed that the
diagram sheet was identified as “Diagram Sheet 1.”
It is very likely that ILT curricula in the LO Module will be printed to PDF or paper because the curricula
would be used in the lab, which doesn't currently have Elite installed in it.
If a sheet is subsequently separated from the rest of the curriculum, no one, except perhaps the
developer, that looks at the sheet would be able to tell which Course, Module, Lesson, or Section that it
belonged to.
Instruction sheets in the TG module in traditional AIM I are numbered in a manner that always allows
the user to determine where they belong (CIN-Part #-Section #-Topic #-Sequence #).
Sheets in the LO Module should be numbered in a similar manner.
My suggestion is to number them as follows: Title of Course-Module Number-Lesson Number-Section
Number-Sequence Number.
Using this numbering scheme, the diagram sheet I modified would be numbered “Diagram Sheet Missile
Technician Continuum Phase 6 - Manager CPO Common Core-M1-L8-S1-1.”
Comment 1 Steve Wicinski 2012-03-27 18:59:35 EDT
This is a complicated problem, because (a) sheets do print that way, except we don’t have a CIN) and (b)
it prints the way described when you print the sheet itself. Since a Sheet belongs to a Section, which can
belong to many Lessons, it isn’t always possible to know what Sheet number the user wants to use.
Bug 193
Summary: Alphabetize Glossary
Product: LO Module
The Glossary in the LO Module does not have the ability to alphabetize so in the process of developing a

Product: LO Module
In the LO Module, You cannot add sub-elements to the “Self-Paced” Instruction Type. It is necessary for

Instructor-led Instruction Type.
Bug 205
Summary: Default names for saving print previews to PDF should be standardized
Product: LO Module
In the LO Module in Central Site AIM I, I print previewed a Developer’s copy of Course MT Continuum
Phase 6 – Manager CPO Common Core, Module 1, Lesson 8, Section 1. When I saved it to PDF, the
default name given was: M__Temp Files_~aim0004_~aim0001_External Inspections and.pdf. I then print
previewed the LP for this section, and when I saved it to PDF, there was no default name shown.
To minimize naming problems (many people just use the default names), there has to be a better way of
assigning default names in the LO Module than this. The default names assigned to print previews,
exports, and archives in traditional AIM I work quite well, so I suggest that some kind of common
naming scheme be developed for the LO Module. (The would also apply to the CPM.)
Here’s what I suggest.
When any element in the LO Module is print previewed and then saved to PDF, the default name would
consist of the following elements: (1) Course name; (2) Module number; (3) Lesson number; (4) Section
number; (5) type of print preview (e.g., Web, Developer, Student, Storyboard, LP, Sheets); and (6)
Version number.
For the section I just print previewed, the default name would be: "Course MT Continuum Phase 6 –
Manager CPO Common Core-M1-L8-S1-Developer-V1.pdf." If I print previewed the LP for this section
and saved it to PDF, the only thing that would change in the default name would be that “Developer”
would change to “LP.”
If a Lesson is print previewed and saved to PDF, the default name would be the same, except that the
section number would be left off of the default filename. This would work the same for print previewing
Modules and Courses—the lower-level portions would be left out of the default filenames. (E.g., Course
PDF = MT Continuum Phase 6 – Manager CPO Common Core-Developer-V1.pdf; Module = MT
Continuum Phase 6 – Manager CPO Common Core-M1-Developer-V1.pdf; Lesson = MT Continuum
Phase 6 – Manager CPO Common Core-M1-L8-Developer-V1.pdf; Section = MT Continuum Phase 6 –
Manager CPO Common Core-M1-L8-S1-Developer-V1.pdf.)
This same type of filenaming scheme should also apply to exports in the LO Module. It might not apply
to the CPM, though, because it exports directly to the EDE, and no default name is even shown.
I’m not sure how this would apply to archives. I also have no idea how an archive would work, and I
don’t even know if there is such a function in the LO Module or in the CPM, but there should be.

In the LO Module RRL IMI section, there is now a box to reference a specific or multiple slide numbers in
a PPS, however, the PPS does not advance to the slide(s) when the slide numbers are selected in the box

Summary: CPM Data Retention
Product: CPM
CPM Data Retention
Introduction
In recent weeks we’ve had several requests from users with regards to CPM.
These include:
• Recover an incorrectly (or inadvertently) deleted Occupation.
• Get a log of who made certain changes to data in the COI.
In addition, during the discussion of versioning in CPM, has been the request/requirement of seeing
what data was active/approved at any particular point in time.
Currently CPM has some built-in capability to track usage/changes within the database; however the
current implementation is limited. Coding is required to handle tracking ‘link’ changes; that is, changes
to links between one set of data and another. For example, CPM currently can track that a user record
was modified, but we have no tracking if the links between that user and any Centers were modified.
Secondly, CPM has no current capability at all to track what exactly was changed at any particular point
in time. So while CPM can tell that user Fred modified a Center record, it cannot tell if the change was to
the Center Name, it’s Short Name, or it’s address.
Note: The term revision is used to differentiate different modifications of an item. It should not be
confused with versioning, which is the process of modifying an approved object (think revision/change
in traditional AIM).
Proposed Change Overview
With these subjects in mind, we propose the following changes to the CPM.
1. When (any) data is added, the record(s) are created.
2. If the user goes to a screen and saves a modification, CPM will create a new record in the database
for the modification. It will be given a new ‘revision’ number (set and tracked internally by CPM on a
system-wide basis). The previous entry will be left in the database.
3. If the user deletes an entry in CPM, the software will create a new record in the database identical
to the previous one, but marked as deleted and with the current revision number.
4. The revision number will be save-specific. This means if a JDTA Task is modified by having its title
and some conditions changed (which affect multiple tables in the database), the whole set of changes
share the same revision number.
These changes will allow the user to perform any of the following actions:
1. Restore any data that was deleted, since no data is ever really deleted.
2. Track all changes to any data, including when it was made and who made it.
3. See all changes that were made at a particular save action (so, again, rather than seeing that a Skill
item was changed, we could see that the particular action changed the Skill information, the
Condition/Standard links, the Source links, and the TTA data).
4. Compare the current iteration of an object to its previous revision.
5. On a grander scale, compare any particular revision of data with any previous revision of the data.
For example, from action 1, you could see from the change log that a Task was modified 23 times over
the course of 2 months, but 15 times in the last two days. You may want to see what was changed over
that entire two day span, so you could select item 14 (the Task before it was changed two days ago) and
compare it to the current revision to see what was changed throughout the entire two day span. Or you
might want to compare change 17 to change 12 just to see what was changed in that time period.
6. Save time on software development in the long run, as the only tasks being performed in the
database are additions and perhaps some modifications.
No need to perform a multitude of deletion and modification coding, let alone validating relationships
within the database before making changes.
The proposal here is to work on making the under-the-hood changes to the database to foster the above
capabilities, but not necessarily provide these capabilities unless requested. The general idea has been
discussed in-house and seems feasible.
THE FOLLOWING ARE ISSUES WITH THIS CONCEPT THAT WOULD NEED TO BE WORKED OUT.
1. Update the code to make sure that changes were made before saving data to the database (we
don’t do this currently). Not a major issue, most of the required coding has already been done.
2. Some functionality currently within CPM aggregates information to make retrieval of said data
easier for display (for example, Lesson times are tracked in the database and updated automatically
when Section times change, which, in turn, causes module times to update). These types of activities
would need to be changed so that the historical data isn’t corrupted on parental objects. This would be
done by either moving this information out of the tables, or by making revisions of the associated
parental objects.
3. Flagging (which has conceptualized but not implemented as of yet, and is a form of aggregation in
some areas) would need to designed to work with the concept.
4. Database size can grow immensely if not careful in handling certain types of large data (Sheet
content, ISD Considerations, TPP/TCCD texts, etc.)
5. The existing database tables would need to be converted to the new scheme without losing data
and understanding that any data prior to this implementation will not have any revision tracking.
It is not believed that any of these items are show-stoppers, or even large issues. They are pointed out
just as a matter of.
Note: It would be beneficial to put these suggestions in place before LO Module Webification work
begins, to reduce efforts in that area.

Summary: LO Module Lesson Plan Glossary Printing
Product: LO Module
In LO Module, when printing or previewing LP the glossary is printed with each section. Please change
the print routine so that the glossary items from each section are printed once at the end of the lesson.
The glossary items of all the sections should be merged into a single Lesson-wide glossary. The items
should be sorted alphabetically by the contents of the first column. This is a print issue only. The
glossary items should still be created and maintained at the section level just rolled up for ILT printing.
Bug 252
Summary: Need "Delete Unused Exercises" option in ECG
Product: AIM I
If you delete the only LP Module RIA linked to a particular exercise in the ECG Module, the exercise is
deleted from the AIM I database. It doesn't work this way for TG sheets. If you delete the only LP
Module RIA linked to a particular TG sheet, the sheet is retained in the database for selection elsewhere,
but it does not print with the TG until it is linked to another RIA.
If a user isn't aware of this, they may delete an RIA linked to an exercise in preparation for selecting it in
another RIA. If they do this, the exercise will be deleted, and they will have to completely regenerate the
exercise. This could be very time-consuming and should be unnecessary.
I request that the functionality for deleting RIAs linked to exercises be made the same as for TG sheets
so that the exercise is not deleted from the AIM I database and is available for selection in another RIA.
Also, a new option should be added to the ECG Module similar to the option in the TG Module: "Delete
Unused TG Sheets." The new option in the ECG Module should be named "Delete Unused Exercises."
Comment 1 Jamie Swaim 2012-04-25 08:45:27 EDT
I just discovered that I was incorrect when I reported that exercises are deleted from the AIM I database
when the last RIA linked to the exercise is deleted. The exercise is still in the database--it just doesn't
show up anywhere except in the LP RIA when the user selects RRL Type "Exercises."
However, I don't want to cancel this "bug" because I would still like the "Delete Unused Exercises"
option added to the ECG Module.

this would be useful is the attached documents (created in CPM for these two courses). I don't think
anything would change except the TPP (in this case, the milestones apply to both courses, even though
I've just done a TPP for the longer course).

Added for Dr. Payne NNSY:
Request adding functionality to Project Role to allow edit privilege specific for training site information.
This is to allow individual at the sites to enter/edit their own data without impacting other sites. This
may be done through an approach similar to what was done for MTC in support of COI, Learning
Objective and ISD Considerations specific restrictions.
"I just went through the roles, and if you look at the TPP, you can see why I think it would be useful to
create a role like "Training Site Administrator," who would have edit privileges limited to data on his
own training site. I have no idea about historical student flow at the four shipyards, but the individual
training departments do, and it would be useful to allow them to edit it."

Summary: Need ability to preview front/back matter at lesson/section level
Product: LO Module
Attachments: AIM I and LO Module Printing
I received this from Jim Montgomery (LMSSC).
The preview/print options of the LO Module are extremely limited. We were attempting to verify back
matter at a section level and could not do it because there was no option available in the LO Module
print selection. We did finally determine that you can print front and back matter if a whole MT
Continuum Course were printed. This caused a problem because of the time involved for the LO Module
to produce the preview and then there was the inability to save the preview as a PDF file because it was
too large. Please see the attached document that has a recommendation to incorporate the same
options in the LO Module for printing that are available in AIM I.
Comment 1 Steve Wicinski 2012-09-05 19:13:25 EDT
Technically speaking, AIM I does not have the ability to generate a Front or Back matter at any level but
the entire Course. Subject implies adding at whatever level is being printed, but content implies adding
ability to just print front or back matter like is available in AIM I. Needs clarification.

Summary: IMI should be IMM in Site RRL
Product: AIM I
Interactive Multimedia Instruction (IMI), by definition in the ILE requirements, is self-paced instruction;
however, this acronym is not used to indicate this in AIM I. IMI in AIM I pertains to media files in the Site

Summary: Software inserts extraneous spaces at end of text in Instructor Activity
Product: LO Module
When text is typed into Instructor Activity in a section in the LO Module, the AIM I software automatically inserts a space at the end of each line of text, sometimes more than one space. If the user
deletes these extraneous spaces, the program reinserts them when the user saves his modi-fications.
There have been times when the program has inserted a space between the end of the text in a
sentence and the period at the end of the sentence. When I deleted this extraneous space and saved my
modifications, the program reinserted the space between the period and the end of the text in the
sentence. I’ve tried this multiple times with the same results each time. Please correct this problem.

When updateing a curriculum package in LOM from an updated export from CPM, changes made to the
section types in CPM are not updated in the LOM course. Other changes made to the section (name,
length, Objective statement) are updated on LOM but the type of section is not changed from the
orginial import. Feature is needed since the type of section cannot be edited in LOM and is a feature of
the import from CPM. If a determination is made to change a section type, the course needs to be
deleted from LOM and re-imported to reflect the change resulting in a loss of all data.

Summary: Change class hours to date/time format
Product: CPM
From Richard Payne: On the Training Sites screens, the input mask requires you to enter class hours as
integers. Neither fractions nor decimals works. The format for the corresponding information in LOM is
correct (it's formatted as a date/time field, so you can enter minutes, which are entered for each section
and rolled up into lessons and courses). My immediate problem is that I've got a short course consisting
of one lesson, and it breaks down (in minutes) as follows: Classroom 25; Lab 30; Practical Application 10.
I think this is a simple fix (reformat the information as a date/time field). Note that this is the screen
that I'd like to have a special role for so that the local training site manager can enter the data.

Summary: Need more test item types
Product: LO Module
Attachment: Full ACR description attached
Location: AIM I>LO Module>Section>Assessment
Narrative of change request: We need the ability to create (1) multiple choice, multiple answer, (2) hot
spot, and (3) drag and drop test items in LO Module.
The Instructional Media Design Package (IMDP) currently contains guidance concerning the use of the
types of test items listed above. These test items are now being used in self-paced training (IMI)
contained in the LO Module. However, since the LO Module does not have the capability to create these
test items, they are being added to the IMI in Venus as a workaround.
All assessment items should be generated, tracked, and maintained in the LO Module, so we
recommend that the ability to generate and maintain these types of test items be added to the LO
Module software. The amplifying information and examples contained on the following pages for the
three types of test items listed above was “gleaned” from the IMDP, Appendix E, CH. 5 (Draft). I also
added comments for clarification.
Bug 272
Summary: Add special periods to CMS
Product: CPM
Location: CPM, Projects tab, TCCD, Training Sites, CMS
Currently periods are added to the Course Master Schedule (CMS) from the Sections of the Curriculum
Development module, those being ILT-Class, ILT-Lab, ILT-Onboard, Blended, and EPSS. There is no
functionality for a "special" or non-instructional period such as testing or graduation. This will ensure
accurate course durations are reflected.
Request the capability to add non-instructional periods to the CMS module of CPM.
This ACR will bring CPM into compliance with NAVEDTRA 130(series) and NETCINST 1510.1.
Bug 273
Summary: Can't create Rev/Chg/Canx TPP in CPM
Product: CPM
Location: CPM, Projects tab, TPP
Upon submission of a TPP in CPM only a “New” TPP can be created. The field is not editable to allow for
a Revision, Change or Cancellation TPP.
Currently in AIM II once a “New” TPP is selected, you have the option to add a Revision Status, Change
Number, or from the pull down menu the automatic default “New” status can be changed to
“Cancellation”.
CPM Training Project Plans should reflect the same capabilities as AIM II currently does.
This ACR will bring CPM into compliance with NAVEDTRA 130(series) and NETCINST 1510.10.
Bug 274
Summary: Add equipment to Task Attribute pull down
Product: CPM
Attachment: Image
I am entering data in CPM Job Duty Task Analysis under the Task Attributes pull down menu. The
choices are: platform, system, subsystem, component, non-equipment. In the submarine training
community we train utilizing the system down approach ( systems are made up of subsystem;
subsystems are made up of equipment; equipment is made up of components). Once the trainee is
taught what equipment is included in the subsystem, he is then taken through the corrective
maintenance of each piece of equipment and then there is a subsystem lab at the end of the course to
tie it all together. This approach was requested by the fleet years ago. Need to be able to support the
example in the attached diagram
Bug 275
Summary: Allow global change of references
Product: CPM
In CPM, JDTA, Task Attributes, you are required to entered the Source(s). In the submarine community
we operator under the Technical Insertion / Advanced Processor Build (TI/APB) upgrades. The hardware
does not always change from one TI to the next; however, the manual does change. Therefore, I can use
the same task from one TI to the next, but I will need to go into the CPM data base and manually change
the manual for each task. Would like a way to make a global change or will it be acceptable to type
“applicable AN/BYG-1 IETM” as the source?
Bug 276
Summary: Simpler and Printable Comprehension Check Practice Element Test Type
Product: LO Module
Change the functionality of the Practice element so that it is less time consuming for the developer and
better supports the intended purpose of this element of the template. Specifically, add a new Practice
item test type called 'Comprehension Check' and make it free form (like the 'Performance' type). Add
an option to include the Practice element for LP printing for ILT sections. Currently the Practice items do
not print so the use of them as a comprehension check within the flow of the course is not possible.
In coordination with Dr. Richard Payne NNSY.
