Introduction
This document describes the available options for creating a new ship in the ZeeBORN system. The document concentrates on the preparation of maintenance related data.
#
Available Options
#
Option A: Converting existing data
If possible, ZeeBORN tries to arrange that already existing data will be migrated into the ZeeBORN system. Especially for ships that are already in operation, it's safe to assume that there is an existing planned maintenance system. Usually the data existing in this system can be migrated by ZeeBORN. ZeeBORN offers the service usually without causing extra costs.
ZeeBORN takes care that all existing data will be transferred to the ZeeBORN system. Depending on the data quality in the source system, ZeeBORN might provide a guideline for errors found during the conversion and that should be corrected.
#
Option B: Using an existing ship as template
If no data are available for migration, already existing data from similar ships can be used as a starting point for the preparation of the data for a new ship. Usually the existing data from a suitable ship will be fully copied to the new ship. Necessary adjustments will be applied manually (see available tools below).
After the preparation of the ship is finished, ZeeBORN support needs to reset the ship data to initial values.
#
Option C: Create new database from existing manuals
If only printed manuals exist (or scanned copies in PDF-format) ZeeBORN can arrange the required processing of the data via a ZeeBORN sub-contractor. All documents will be scanned and transferred into suitable data to be imported into the ZeeBORN system.
As this process is quite time consuming, please request a quotation from ZeeBORN for this service.

Available Tools within the ZeeBORN system
#
Kozlowski Tools
Preparing a new database with the usual functions available in the
ZeeBORN system can be quite time-consuming. With the necessary access
right (see User Management > General > Access to Pre-Release Features > Maintenance > Kozwlowski Tools) an additional set of powerful data
administration tools can be enabled.
WARNING: All tools available in this section are quite powerful and may also create unexpected results. Whenever you plan to use these tools, please make sure a backup of the ZeeBORN database was created.
