Below the FED LOG Interactive pull-down menus is a row of icons. The icons duplicate the
pull-down menus. When you open FED LOG Interactive the
Federal Logistics Information
System (FLIS)
is the default icon. If you make no changes, all your searches will be in
FLIS
. At
the right there are eight grayed-out icons, called data views. These views display the data on
your search in different ways.
FLIS displays 6 of the 8 million national stock numbers in FED LOG. The armed services have
2 million unique NSNs and display all the NSNs used by their service. It’s best to start searches in
your service’s interactive and expand to FLIS if necessary.
The
Army Interactive
icon is the green tank. When you click on the tank, five service unique
icons are added to the right of the eight
FLIS Interactive
data view icons.

Make Interactive
Work For You!
S
ome PLL/ULLS clerks may not be taking full advantage of FED LOG. Here’s how to make
FED LOG work for you.
The first FED LOG
Interactive screen is
the
CD
Scanning
Console.
Green checkmarks
identify which disks
are available in your
computer. To the right
is the disk’s publica-
tion date. It should
show
the
current
month or the month
just preceding. Any-
thing older is an out-
of-date disk.
Once you have the
right disks, click OK to
move to the work
screens.

this is the
first story in a
series of five
on fed log.
The date IDs the version of
FED LOG you are using for
each disk. Use only the current
or last month’s disks.
These eight icons are the FLIS data
views. They are (from left to right):
management, reference, freight,
supplier, characteristics, drawings,
history,
and
custom view.
These five icons are Army unique
data views. Starting from the left,
they include:
AMDF management
data, AMDF packaging, Army

material,
and
related NSNs.
Green checkmarks identify which
FED LOG CDs are available on
your computer
