In the section Crew > Duties, apart from assigning duties in the old way, you can now plan duties for your crew before publishing it.

In the filter you can find the Plan mode and the Actual mode buttons. If you want to switch to the plan mode, tick the checkbox and click 'Show'. In the top-left corner you will see an information You are now in the plan mode . Next to it you can see two options: and which can be used if either you want to publish changes, or reject them.

Switching to the plan mode does not mean that all duties assigned before will disappear. They will remain untouched. Below you can see examples of using Plan mode feature.

• 1 - Planning new duties

When adding duties in the plan mode on previously unassigned days, everything looks the same as if adding duties in the actual mode. The only difference is that in the top-left corner of the square there is a green flag.

If it happens that you have planned a new duty on the day where there was already either flight, positioning or office duty assigned, when you hover the mouse over the square, the pop-up window will appear with the information (see examples below):

• 2 - Replacing actual duties with the planned ones

If you want to replace the actual duty with the new one, click on the existing square/squares and select new duty from the list previously defined in CDR Definition section. In each new duty-square, in the top-left corner there will be a red flag.

It is also possible to delete duties in the plan mode, which have been added in actual mode - in the same way as normally (mark duties and click on the bottom duty-type).

Publishing duties for crew in the Plan mode

• 3 - Publishing or rejecting changes in crew duties table

If you have finished planning duties you can save it by clicking the icon 'publish'. Leon will show a pop-up window, where you can select a date range - a month for which the publication should take place or all months for which duties have been planned, and crew for whom the duties should be published.

If you click OK, then on top of the screen Leon will show the progress bar. The status of the publishing is being refreshed automatically.

The lenght of the publishing process depends on the number of new duties assigned or changes made in the roster.

Once it's done, Leon will switch to the actual mode and the message will be sent out - the 'Messages' envelope on the belt will turn yellow . Inside the 'Messages' section you will find an email Script complete and the exact time in UTC.

If you decide to reject the publication of planned duties you can click Reject button. A pop-up window will display. This is very similar pop-up to the one when you publish duties with 'Reject' button instead of 'Publish' button. In the pop-up you can choose Crew and Period you want to reject the changes for. Once you click Reject the changes in duties will disappear for the marked Crew for chosen range of time.

Sending roster changes emails to recipients whilst making changes in the plan mode works in a slightly different way. The notification email is being sent out once the plan is published. In other words - you can make as many changes as you wish and when the publishing of the plan is finished, then Leon sends out emails with all changes included to particular crew members (see example below).

'Plan' mode duties copying works similarly to the 'Actual' mode described in the above chapters. The difference is you can copy already added duties along with the planned ones (not yet published), see example below.

• In the filter switch to 'Plan' mode, mark previously added duties along with those you have planned and click 'copy' (planned duties show with the green triangle indication).

• Pasted duties show as planned, despite the fact some of them are already confirmed (published) for a particular crew member.
