185. Cross Reference Tables
One of the most powerful features in VISION

186. Explain the concept and use of cross reference tables

187. Cross Reference tables are custom lists
Here are the rules that govern how to use cross reference tables:
Cross Reference tables are custom lists
Any items on a list can be linked to any SAT component
Can link the same item to many components
Can also link many items to a single component
Can do detailed searches by items or components
Can be used to generate special reports and documents

189. Can do detailed searches by items or components
Cross Reference tables are custom lists
Can also link many items to a single component
Can be used to generate special reports and documents
Can link the same item to many components
Any items on a list can be linked to any SAT component
Use the Cross Reference menu on the Main Menu to access search options.
Find Cross Reference reports on the Reports window or create custom reports using the cross reference table feature.
Any SAT component can have as many cross reference links as you need.
SAT Components link to cross reference items on the “Cross Reference” page of the component’s properties menu.
Create new cross reference tables with the “New” button.
Any cross reference table item can be linked to as many different SAT components as you need to.

195. Job Analysis Hierarchy Structure
The hierarchy levels that VISION supports

196. Identify the levels of a job analysis hierarchy structure supported in VISION

197. These are the job analysis hierarchy levels supported in VISION:
Hierarchy Terms
Definition
Job
The title of a position
Responsibility
Area
A broad aspect of a job that usually takes
up the majority of work time
A set of activities within a job responsibility. Also referred to as a Duty Area
Function
Occupies exclusive time slices of a function and are interdependent
Phase
The measurable activities that comprise the job;
usually grouped by phases or functions
Task
Used to divide complex tasks or when the
task can be done in more than one way
Sub Task

199. Job: A position with a title.
Sub Task: A subtask is used if either of these two conditions apply:
The task can be performed in more than one way based on conditions, equipment or circumstances.
The task is so complex that each step or element is actually a task itself.
Job: A position with a title.
Involves an ongoing collection of work functions.
Comprises the worker’s entire set of responsibilities.
Phase: Some functions can be separated into phases.
They occupy exclusive time slices of a function.
They are interdependent: the outcome of most phases is input to the next.
Each usually contains more than one major task.
Task: Results in a product, completion of a service or decision.
Has a definite beginning and end.
Generally contains two or more steps.
Normally performed within one specific period of time.
Can usually be observed and measured.
Function: A set of activities within a responsibility area.
(Duty Area) May comprise a process with a definitive beginning and end.
Directed toward a whole outcome, product or result.
Responsibility Area: The first step in breaking a job into hierarchy components.
General areas of a job, rather than specific duties.
Results in more than one specific outcome.
The job holder operates within one responsibility at a time.
Job
Responsibility Area
Function
Not all functions contain phases!
Phase
Task
Sub Task

200. Fill in the hierarchy with the appropriate term:
Job

202. Analysis Hierarchy Rules
Task
Sub-Task
Element
S/K

203. State the rules that govern the allowable relationships among the types of levels of an Analysis Hierarchy

204. Elements and S/Ks can only have S/Ks as children.
Organizations, Job Positions, Responsibility Areas, Functions, and Phases are “Organizers” and can be changed as desired.
Elements and S/Ks can only have S/Ks as children.
Sub-Tasks can have Tasks, Elements, or S/Ks as children.
Organizers can have Tasks or S/Ks as children.
Tasks can have Tasks, Sub-Tasks, Elements, or S/Ks as children.
Organizer
Task
Task
Element
S/K
Sub-Task
S/K
S/K
S/K
Task
Element

206. Tasks, Sub-Tasks, Elements, and Skill/Knowledge items have rules about how they interact together, so they cannot necessarily be changed or moved.
Organizations, Job Positions, Responsibility Areas, Functions, and Phases do not have a functional difference, so they can be changed or moved around without consequence.
If you try to change an analysis node’s level, VISION will only allow you to select from levels that fit within these rules.
If a Task has Sub-Task children, it can only have Sub-Tasks as children.
Tasks can only be in a relationship two deep. In other words, a Task can have a child Task, but cannot have a “grandchild” Task.
Task

209. The difference between conditional and component sub tasks in VISION
Two Types of Sub Tasks
The difference between conditional and component sub tasks in VISION

210. Differentiate between the two types of sub tasks available in VISION Developer

211. Conditional Sub Tasks:
The two types of subtasks in VISION are Conditional Sub Tasks and Component Sub Tasks.
Conditional Sub Tasks:
A task that is performed differently under different conditions.
Component Sub Tasks:
A task that has been broken up into smaller tasks.

213. Conditional Sub Task (ST)
Component Sub Task (T)
Different versions of the task, with different steps and considerations.
The parent task is an organizer and each sub task must be mastered individually.
Components of the same task, such as very large steps.
These sub tasks can be qualified just like any other task.
T: Plan and organize a convoy
ST: Plan and organize a convoy under civilian, peacetime conditions
ST: Plan and organize a convoy under combat conditions
T: Build a shed
T: Lay a concreate (slab) foundation
T: Build a frame
T: Add exterior panels

214. Component sub tasks are parts of a larger task that has been broken up.
Conditional sub tasks distinguish between a task done under one condition and the same task done under a different condition.

215. Conditional Sub Task (ST)
Which type of sub task should be used for the following:
T: Fix a tire
__: Remove the tire
__: Inspect the tire
__: Replace the tire
T: Fix a tire
__: Fix a tire on the roadside with emergency equipment
__: Fix a tire in a garage with normal equipment ST T
Component Sub Task (T)
Conditional Sub Task (ST)

217. Using Sub Tasks

218. Identify the implications of using each type of Sub Task on qualifications and reports

219. Conditional Sub Tasks:
The implications of using sub-tasks on qualifications and reports depends on the type of sub-task you use:
Conditional Sub Tasks:
The parent task is an organizer and doesn’t need to be qualified.
Each sub-task must be qualified individually.
Component Sub Tasks:
A part of a larger task.
Qualified like any other task.

221. Conditional sub tasks represent the task in different conditions
Conditional sub tasks represent the task in different conditions. In this case, the parent task is an organizer that can only have sub tasks as children. All elements and SK items must be children of the sub tasks.
Component sub tasks are tasks just like any other, and are qualified as such. How they are used will depend on the organization using them.

5. Review and Decide
4. Generate Recommendations

248. If using VDM, The Task DIF Survey is a printed, manual survey.
VLS generates an online form.
If using “table-top” it’s done by verbal consensus.
Master Task List shows the disposition of each task.
The DIF Data and the training recurrence is entered into the Task Selection workscreen.
DIF data is entered on the bottom of the Selection page.
Training is entered on the top of the selection page.
The Difficulty, Importance and Frequency scores are averaged out to create the DIF data numbers.
DIF data is gathered by survey, it can either be gathered through the Task DIF Survey or “Table Top” methods.
If using a manual survey, then average the numbers by hand.
With VWeb, calculation is automatic.
If using “table top,” data is already averaged by consensus.

266. DIF Data consists of the Difficulty of the task, the Importance of the task, and the Frequency that the task is done.
Point out the buttons to input DIF Data as they show up on the screen.
Clarify as needed

267. If this task needs to be trained, then click the “Yes” button.
Is this task should be trained on a recurring basis, check the box.
Select how frequently the task should be trained.
This list is editable if you have the necessary security permissions.
Explain:
Will the task be selected for training?
The Task Recommendation report will help you make this decision… for instance if the task is difficult, very important and only infrequently performed, it will have to be trained and even retrained, possibly on a yearly basis.
Use the radio buttons to select either Yes, or No.
IF yes, select radio button.
Is the task important enough for periodic retraining.? If it is, select the checkbox “Is it trained on a recurring basis?”
How often does it need to be retrained? The dropdown contains a number of different time periods, ranging from weekly to 4 years. Most retrained tasks will occur on a yearly basis, or once every two years.
You can add a new training interval if you have the security permissions to edit lists
Can edit lists” permission has to be granted to your VISION account in the Security module.
Once added to the list of intervals, a new interval will be available for all tasks, not just the one you are editing.

268. This list is editable if you have the necessary security permissions.
If this task doesn’t need to be trained, then click the “No” button.
Select a reason why the task should not be trained.
Click Edit List to enter, edit or delete items.
Will the task be selected for training?
IF No, select radio button.
There are a number of reasons for this…. The task could be trivial enough that training would be unnecessary. It could be that the task is performed by a contracted company, or that the task is obsolete and no longer in use.
When you click the “No” radio, the dropdown list for “Why is the task not trained?” will activate.
VISION does not supply any default reasons, as they’ll vary from one site to another.
The list is editable, like the training interval list is. A reason for not training a task should ALWAYS be given.

Questions can be disqualified and removed from tests
Test units must be approved in order to approve the test
Tests must be approved in order to be given to learners
Version warning icons alert you when items have been changed

368. If an item has been changed or updated since a test was approved, the changed version will not automatically appear on the test. Instead, you will see an approval warning icon next to the item, and you can choose whether to update the test or choose not.
If a test unit is not approved, the test cannot be approved. If a test is not approved it cannot be given to learners over VISION Web, and a printed version will have a watermark on it reading “Not Approved”.
Questions must be “approved” to be included in a test. If a question is edited there will be an option to disqualify it, removing it from dynamic tests and disqualifying static tests that contain it.

What is Versioning?
An introduction to VISION’s Versioning feature

373. Define Versioning

374. Versioning stores changes to the data in your VISION database so that past versions of records can be reviewed in the future.

376. Versioning does this for all of the data stored in VISION.
The task node will be saved as it was before you made the changes.
Suppose you make changes to a task in your analysis hierarchy…
If you make more changes, those versions will also be saved.
Analysis Hierarchy
Program Hierarchy
Objective Hierarchy V V V V
Main Menu:
On top of every VISION screen.
Menu bar will change with the type of window that is active
Workbench Menu:
located on the top of the VISION Workbench.
only visible when the workbench is displayed
(click to make info disapear()

377. This Ensures that every learner who takes this course will get the same information.
Opening and “editing” the training unit will make a new, editable version of it.
Training Units, for example, are containers that are filled with objectives.
When the training unit is approved, the objectives and content in it are “frozen”.
In some cases the object being versioned is not a node, but a “container”

406. The “Approval Warning”!
What the approval warning is and when it appears

407. Identify the meaning and implications of the “Approval warning"

408. The “approval warning” means that a node linked to an approved item has been updated since the item was approved.

410. When an item is approved, it is “frozen” in it’s current state
When an item is approved, it is “frozen” in it’s current state. When a child or linked item is updated, the approved item is not updated, but you will see an approval warning to indicate that something has changed.
For example, we have a task with elements. This task has been approved.
So remember, the Approval warning indicates that the item changed since the last time the associated “node” (component) was approved. The change will NOT be reflected until it is re-approved.
So when one of those elements is changed…
An approval warning appears.

411. So, what does this mean?
The Qual Card would be delivered in the state when last approved. It would NOT reflect the change indicated by the warning until you reapprove the Task.
With an Objective, any Lesson in which the Objective appears would be delivered in the state when last approved. It would NOT reflect the change indicated by the warning until you reapprove the Objective.

425. These are the four items that can be test units (used in a test):
Questions
Objectives
Training Units
Courses

427. Questions are the simplest. Select any question and add it to the test.
Training units contain objectives, which contain questions. Using these will give you access to all of the questions in the objectives contained in the training units for the test.
Using a course is like using a training unit except that a course can contain more than one training unit. You would therefore get access to all of the questions in each training unit for the test.
Use objectives, and all of the questions in those objectives will be available for the test.
