Description
Having the relevant technical documentation easily accesible when being on-site to execute equipment maintenance tasks or emergency interventions is vital, both for efficiency and safety reasons. Today, EDMS is the CERN repository where the equipment documentation can be found.

However, as the computer network is not available everywhere, having on-line access to EDMS is impossible in certain places. To overcome this inconvenience, AB/PO some years ago designed and implemented a tool which supports offline document browsing extracted from EDMS - the ABPOView.

Using the initial concept, which was tailored to browsing power converter specific data, TS/CSE in collaboration with AB/PO have now implemented a generic offline EDMS document browser with a broader scope: the EDMSViewer. This new tool enables any user community to easily download their required EDMS documentation onto a laptop and to easily browse the information when offline. The seminar will present the tool, how AB/PO uses it in their daily activities and how any other CERN team could also use it.
