Abstract:
1. A system for access to system-related resources for complex-system parts, the system comprising: a barcode reader configured to scan a barcode located on a complex-system part, the barcode encoding an identifier of the complex-system part and links to respective system-related resources for the complex-system part, the system-related resources including at least one of software-based systems or electronic documents, the barcode reader being configured to decode the identifier and links from the barcode; and a front-end engine coupled to the barcode reader and configured to generate a portal that identifies the complex-system part, and that includes the links decoded from the barcode, the front-end engine being configured to cause display of the portal in a graphical user interface through which the links are navigable to access the respective system-related resources for the complex-system part, wherein the links encoded by the barcode are standard links, and front-end engine is further configured to retrieve other, custom links to system-related resources for the complex-system part, the custom links being retrieved based on the identifier of the complex-system part and independent of the standard links encoded by the barcode, and wherein the portal generated by the front-end engine identifies the complex-system part, and includes both standard links and custom links.
