Introduction
AMOS, Aircraft Maintenance and Engineering System, is a complex integrated software package that
manages the maintenance, engineering and logistic functions of aviation companies. The software has
been developed by the IT department of SWISS, that is to say a powerful online system has been
designed in direct communication between IT specialists and aviation engineers, mechanics and
technicians. The software analysts and programmers profit thus from the early information about trends
in the aviation industry due to their insider position within an airline.
PY
AMOS covers by large all business functions with regard to aircraft maintenance & engineering. With its
O
system's modular architecture, AMOS is a completely integrated programme that maintains everything
C
you need in order to maintain and access information anytime. Data has to be entered only once, which
ED
reduces inconsistencies and increases productivity and data quality.

1.1.5 Wizards
AMOS uses a software wizard or setup assistant for complicated tasks. You are offered a sequence of
dialogue windows that lead you through a series of well-defined steps.
Note: Wizards in AMOS are dynamic. Depending on the choices you make, later steps can change.
In the dialogue window, the steps are shown on the left. The current step is in bold. At the bottom of
the main, grey pane, is a helpful hint written in blue. Within each step are selections or entries you can
make. The Next button remains inactive until all required tasks are fulfilled. You can also be prompted to
PY
make required selections. When the Next button becomes active, you have entered enough information
to finish the current step. Click Next to advance a step and only then can the list of steps change.
O
C
Continue in this way for the rest of the steps. You can also click Prev to go back through the previous
ED
steps and make changes. If the Finish button becomes active, you have entered enough information to
finish the wizard even though you may not have completed all the steps. You can enter missing
LL
information or finish sub-tasks at another time. Click Finish and your work is saved and the task
O
completed. You can be prompted with a dialogue window with several possible further actions. These
TR
actions include non-mandatory steps that were not completed in the wizard. Refer to Fields for
information concerning types of fields and how to enter data in them. Specific wizards are explained as
