SCHED
SCHED page overview
SCHED is the functionality allowing you to build and manage the schedules.
Functionality is designed with Airlines in mind. However, it still can be used by business and charter operators to build schedules if need be.
Currently, the schedules can be created on the Virtual Aircraft only. The aircraft can be switched after the schedule is published.
There are following options available:
- creating new schedule
- selecting flights for further actions
- publishing selected flights
- modifying selected flights
- deleting selected flights
- displaying selected
published flights in OPS > TABLE view
Next to button there is a dropdown available where you can choose between UTC and BT (Base Time) which can be set up in Settings > General Settings section.
In the top-right corner of the page, you have the filtering option where you can switch the SCHED between IATA and ICAO codes.
NEW SCHEDULE
Creating a new schedule in SCHED panel
In order to build a new schedule you need to perform the following steps:
Click on
button

Choose the Client if applicable. In order for the Client to be populated, it needs to be added in the Phonebook and you need to type in the first 2 letters of Client's name
Select the days on which the schedule should repeat (Mon-Monday, Tue-Tuesday, etc)
In the Schedule section you can insert the flight details. To add the next flight within the same schedule click on a + and the second line will be available. In the second line, you can also select a 'Day Shift' number which means shifting your order for the selected number of days forward. I.e. if you select +1 and the order is supposed to start from Wednesday, then the order will start from Thursday.
