  1. Understanding Level 4 (Class 4) IETMs: Hotspots, Hyperlinks, and Drawing-Table Interactivity Explained What Is Level 4 / Class 4 IETM? An Interactive Electronic Technical Manual (IETM) is a digital technical manual that helps defense personnel access, search, and understand complex equipment documentation easily. You may often hear terms like Level 4 IETM or Class 4 IETM — but are they the same? Understanding Level 4 (Class 4) IETMs: Hotspots, Hyperlinks, and Drawing-Table Interactivity Explained

  2. Here’s the difference: •Level 4 (Level IV) follows the JSG 0852 Indian Defence Standard. It is the standard format used by Indian Armed Forces for structured electronic documentation. •Class 4 (or Class 4.2) follows the S1000D International Standard, widely used across global defense and aerospace sectors. In simple terms, Level 4 = JSG 0852, and Class 4 = S1000D — both represent the highest and most interactive forms of IETMs, offering multimedia integration, hyperlinks, and data interactivity. What Are Drawing-Table Hotspots in IETM? Drawing-Table Hotspots are one of the most powerful interactive features in IETM. They create a bi-directional link between a technical drawing and its data table. •Clicking a name in the table highlights the corresponding part in the drawing. •Clicking a number in the drawing highlights the matching name in the table. This two-way interactivity helps users quickly identify, locate, and understand components — improving accuracy in operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. What Is a Hyperlink in IETM? Just like hyperlinks on websites, IETM hyperlinks connect different sections of the manual. Understanding Level 4 (Class 4) IETMs: Hotspots, Hyperlinks, and Drawing-Table Interactivity Explained

  3. For example, when you see “chapter 7.1” in blue and underlined, clicking it instantly navigates to that specific section. Hyperlinks make the manual easy to navigate, saving time for engineers, maintainers, and operators by providing quick access to relevant procedures or references. What Are Hotspots in IETM?

  4. Hotspots are interactive pop-up elements that enhance understanding with multimedia content. They function like tooltips — when a user hovers over hotspot-enabled text or images, a popup appears with extra information such as text, images, or videos. Common types of hotspots in IETM include: •Text Hotspot: Displays additional text information. •Image Hotspot: Shows relevant diagrams or visuals. •Video Hotspot: Opens a short video for visual explanation. Hotspots make the learning process dynamic, interactive, and user-friendly, especially for training and maintenance applications. Why IETM Level 4 / Class 4 Matters The integration of Hyperlinks, Hotspots, and Drawing-Table Interactivity transforms static manuals into smart, interactive systems. Level 4 / Class 4 IETMs: •Improve training efficiency •Reduce search time for technical data •Enable real-time learning and maintenance •Enhance operational readiness These advanced digital manuals are a key component in modern defence training and align with India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative for digital defence documentation. Conclusion Whether you refer to it as Level 4 IETM (JSG 0852) or Class 4 IETM (S1000D), the purpose remains the same — to provide interactive, multimedia-rich Understanding Level 4 (Class 4) IETMs: Hotspots, Hyperlinks, and Drawing-Table Interactivity Explained

  5. documentation that empowers defense personnel with accurate, real-time technical knowledge. With Drawing-Table Hotspots, Hyperlinks, and Hotspots, IETMs revolutionize how technical data is accessed and understood — making digital manuals truly intelligent.
