Schedule
SCHEDULE is the section for managing flights, crew positionings and office work. This is the main screen for OPS department. The screen is divided into 3 main sections:
Both panels (left and right) can be visible all the time (pinned) or hidden and opened only when needed (useful for smaller screen sizes, for example laptops).
SCHEDULE is divided into 2 screens: TABLE & CALENDAR.
TABLE
Section SCHEDULE - TABLE - the full view on flights list and filters
The philosophy of working in the section Schedule is to use filter to display desired activities in the middle section of the screen and then modify selected properties of those activities using the right panel. Date range and format of displayed information can be altered using the top bar.
Please note you can only select a single date in the date picker. If you need to display a specific period of time click LOAD MORE in the middle screen and scroll down to create a timeline.
You can view flights, positionings and office duties.
Tip: When you set the filter to show desired type of information, you can hide it by unpinning it. By doing the same with the right panel, you can use entire screen space for the activities preview. Click once on any activity to select, click twice to open the right panel for editing.
Filter - Tab SCHEDULE
Show on schedule - select which type of activities you want to be displayed
Group schedule by - there are 3 ways you can group flights in the table view:
None - flights will not be grouped and the order they will be sorted by STD
A/C Registration - all flights are grouped by aircraft registration and then sorted by STD
Trips - all flights are grouped by trips and then sortedy by STD (typical OPS setting)
Flight type - select which type of flights are displayed
Flight status - shows confirmed and/or not confirmed flights/options
Show - you can narrow your view by excluding ferry, cancelled or terminated flights
Preferred airport code - select ICAO or IATA codes to be displayed
Preferred time zone - select UTC/Local time to be used by default
Filter - Tab AIRCRAFT
This section allows you to display only the aircraft you wish to see at the time.
The dropbox All/Active gives an option to choose between displaying all airctaft or just the active ones.
It also allows you to Search for an aircraft.
By clicking on Tail you can select/unselect all aircraft in the panel.
Filter - Tab SHOW
This filter is responsible for how and if different information are being displayed in the table view.
Filters in Tab SHOW are devided into 4 sections:
Show - responsible for the overall display of Table view. From this section you can decide whether the elements of the view are displayed or not. For example untcking Trip number checkbox will result in hiding Trip No. column
Warnings - section responsible for displaying listed types of warnings. This section is more complex because some of the warnings that are displayed might be caused by a number of reasons. Let's use Crew as example. As you can see in the attached screenshot crew SPA, marked red, has 3 different warnings regarding Airport Discontinuity, FTL and Expired Endorsements. Red frame will disappear only when following checkboxes are unticked: Crew APT discontinuity, Crew endorsement expired, FTL Violation
Filter - Tab MORE
Days - select which day of the week you want activities to be displayed on the list.
ICAO type - denotes the type of flight as follows: S for Scheduled Air Service, N for Non-scheduled Air Transport Operation, G for General Aviation and X for everything else
Flight number - search for specific flight number
Airport - allows you search for flights TO and FROM a specific Airport. Leon will suggest ICAO/IATA when you insert the name
Client - allows you to search for flights made for specific client. If you start typing Leon will suggest Client's name in the dropdown.
Crew member - searches for flights where indicated Crew member was assigned to.
Tags - allows to search for tagged flights.
Editing
Trip editing - the bottom panel view
By clicking on the activity, you can edit it in the properties panel (right-hand one). There are number of different tabs available and the one which is selected by default depends on the type of information you have clicked on the activity (all tabs are explained one by one in manual).
For example, by clicking on one of the following fields: STD (Scheduled Time of Departure), STA (Scheduled Time of Arrival), ADEP (Airport of Departure), ADES (Airport of Destination), the 'Flight' tab of the properties panel will open.
The activity you are modifying is highlighted. If you click 'Edit' button on the bottom of the screen, additional bottom panel will open. If the activity selected is flight, the whole trip (series of flights) will open in the bottom window.
While you are editing a trip in the bottom panel, you can still use the right properties panel to access given sector details.
CALENDAR
Calendar - the general view
Click on CALENDAR icon to get your flights, maintenance or reservations displayed as calendar duties.
By using left-hand side filter you can define the view - 4 tabs:Schedule, Aircraft, Show & More are available.

TODAY button - you can change the date forward (right arrow) or backward (left arrow). Clicking on TODAY will bring you back to current date.

In TIMELINE view you have 2 tabs with filterin options:
Both are explained further in this section.
On the left you can see the fleet sorted by aircraft registration. The first row represents scheduled flight times (the same as in Flights List view). This strip may also include flights added as options. They will be distinguished by different colour (aquamarine). The second row represents realization (Flight Watch and later Journey Log data, if entered). The realization of the flight (second row) only shows when Flight Watch is filled in.
Clicking on any strip allows you to access flight details and edit the flight in the same way as in TABLE, or CALENDAR sections.
You can also see Reservations added from Planned Flights screen (Orange colour) or Maintenances added from Scheduled Maintenance section (Red colour).
If there is airport discontinuity between airport A and B - a red line will highlight ADEP without continuity with ADES of the last flight.
