Workshop Goals Refresh and extend your Basic Training skills Become familiar with Administrative Functions Repair problems in a typical VISION database Become familiar with new VISION features Learn from classmates

Introductions “I am _________ and I …” How do you and your organization use VISION now? Why are you here?

The VISION Database Introduction How the VISION Database is organized Projects Work Areas Flow of Information How the VISION Database is organized

Launch a SAT Activity, Report and Document using the Navigator Objective Identify the characteristics of a VISION database in terms of projects and work areas Launch a SAT Activity, Report and Document using the Navigator

Access between projects can be restricted; as needed VISION Database You can make multiple work areas for convenience PAT You can copy and share between Projects Chemistry Projects are built from left to right Within a Project there are three Work Areas Maintenance Projects are usually a job position Operations Analysis Objectives/Questions Program

The VISION Developer Module Introduction The VISION Developer Module Analysis Design Development Systematic Approach to Training (SAT) data structure

Launch a SAT Activity, Report and Document using the Navigator Objective Identify the data structure and connections in VISION that facilitate the SAT process and outcomes Launch a SAT Activity, Report and Document using the Navigator

The VISION Hierarchy Introduction Hierarchy terminology Now that you can explore the hierarchy through the grid controls, we can start to look at the organizational structure of the hierarchy so that we can begin to add new nodes. The VISION SAT hierarchy is a tree, composed of nodes which are child nodes, or have sibling nodes, or may have child nodes themselves. The VISION hierarchy represents the performance outcomes, standards and core competencies of your organization's job positions. The hierarchy is the framework of the training system.

Main Idea Term Definition Node Any individual object in a hierarchy Parent A node that is above any other node Child A node that is below a parent node Sibling A node that shares the same parent node Orphans A node that is unlinked from the hierarchy Top Node First node in the hierarchy Describes the type of node within a hierarchy Hierarchy Level Name A group of linked nodes in a hierarchy Hierarchy Branch A type of node that organizes subordinate nodes within a hierarchy Organizer

Every individual object in the hierarchy is a ‘node.’ Explanation Hierarchy Every individual object in the hierarchy is a ‘node.’ Parent Node Child Child Node Node

A node has a familial relationship to other objects in the hierarchy Explanation Hierarchy A node has a familial relationship to other objects in the hierarchy Parent Parent Child Child Child Child

Explanation Hierarchy Immediate descendants of a node are called ‘children’ Parent Child nodes with a common parent are ‘siblings’ Child Child Siblings

Explanation Hierarchy A parent node, together with all its descendants, is a ‘branch’ Branch Parent A node may be an ‘orphan’ if it is unlinked from the hierarchy Child Orphan Orphan Child Siblings
