establish readiness, motivating statements, tell the trainer why he or she needs to
know the lesson material, tell the trainee How he will Use the course material, and
Safety) in the front matter of the LP.

This capability applies to both AIM I/II and to all RRL types that have a Unit Cost
field.
Modify AIM I to have the error message generated when IMPORTING a Training
Path System (TPS) or Course and the system finds a difference when comparing
the contents of 'included PPP tables' with tables currently in the database to include
the location (e.g., the Personnel Performance Profile (PPP) line item number) where
the difference was detected. The import process shall also continue comparing line
items until either the end of the PPP table or differences in 10 line items have been
detected. AIM I shall then terminate the import process and display the expanded
error message.
Development and maintenance of the Exercise Controller Guide (ECG) is currently
not supported in AIM. The Contractor shall implement an ECG Module in AIM I/II as
an option for development following the development of the Training Course Control
Document (TCCD). The ECG shall support the Lesson Plan (LP) or stand alone as
guidance for the instructor and ensure consistency of the learning objectives
throughout curriculum.

ACRs Not Included in Rel 5.0
AIM-II-1998-380
AIM-II-2008-655
When developing a Training Project Plan (TPP) there is a requirement to
enter materials required, including cost per item, for the new or revised
course of instruction. There are instances when it is impossible to
determine the unit cost for a specific item. In these instances the unit Cost
field is left blank. The appropriate AIM system automatically enters $0.00
when the Unit Cost field is blank.
When working with an existing list of CTTL items, it sometimes becomes
necessary to move tasks from one duty to another duty. Currently, that is not
possible without changing duties to tasks, reorganizing the tasks, then
changing certain duties back to a task.
Recommendations: Please allow for the reordering of tasks between duties,
a warning message to alert the user that they are moving a task to another
duty would be appropriate to ensure that the user intends to make that
change.
