  1. Technical Data Management Information System (TDMIS)Viewing TMs Within TDMIS 15 Dec 2010 NSDSA Contact Information Help Desk: (805) 228-0669 or DSN 296-0669 Web: https://nsdsa.nmci.navy.mil Distribution Statement A: Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.

  2. Viewing TMs Within TDMIS • TDMIS provides a means to view/download qualified TMs on-line. In order to access the TMs, users must have an active TDMIS account. A TDMIS account is also required when the NAVSUP Naval Logistics Library (NLL) directs the user to TDMIS as alternative to ordering a hardcopy or CD-ROM. A TDMIS account can be requested at https://nsdsa.nmci.navy.mil(click on “Click here to submit a Customer Service Request (CSR)”, then click on “TM Users/Library Personnel”, and under TDMIS Accounts click on “New Account”. TDMIS is accessed at https://mercury.tdmis.navy.mil. • TDMIS users are permitted access to specific TMs based upon the assigned distribution statement. Military and Government employee accounts allow access to unclassified TMs with Distribution Statements A through E, while contractor accounts are more restrictive. Additionally, there are some publications that have Technical Manual Management Activity (TMMA)-imposed access restrictions. TDMIS users can request permission to view restricted TMs from the TMMA using the TDMIS function “On Line Publication Access Requests”. • This document primarily focuses on use of the “Publication Data” method to access TMs from within TDMIS, however there are several ways: • Publication Data Module • View Technical Data Manuals Module • Library Data Module

  3. Viewing TMs Within TDMIS • Although many TMs are available for viewing from within TDMIS and more are continuously being added, there are some TMs that are not available. When a TM is available, a “View Item” button will be present on the Publication Data screen. If the TM is not available, a statement indicating non-availability will be present. • Some common reasons why a TM may not be accessible include: • TM is under development with a status of “UD” or was never issued with a status of “NI”. • TM is classified or has other restrictions. • TM is old and there is no complete copy/no adequate quality copy available for scanning and no digital copy is available. • TM has just been released and has not yet been made available for viewing. • TM is not in a pdf format.
