1 Introduction
Configuring reserves
In this topic we review how planners can configure reserve call types.
We estimate that this will take 2 minutes to complete.
2 Detailed Explanation
In this scenario we are going to add a long call reserve call type.
REMINDER
Remember to check that you have the correct bid period selected in the "Configuration for" dropdown.
Click
the Add button.
Click
the Name input
field.
Enter RSL into
the Name field.
HINT
The call type name can be anything you like, but keep in mind that the crew members will see it.
Click
the Reserve Status | Long radio
button.
Export codes must match whatever you have configured in your daily crew management system.
Click
the Export Code input
field.
Enter RL into
the Export Code field.
Start Time and End Time should match what you have in your CMS. In our scenario, these are 00:01 and 23:59.
Click
the Start Time | Up spin
button.
Click
the End Time | Down spin
button.
In this area of the screen we configure the categories that should apply to this call type. For our scenario, they will be all of the Captain (CA) and First Officer (FO) positions, but NOT the Flight Attendant (FA).
Click
the CHI-319-CA list
item.
Click
the PHL-319-FO list
item while keeping the Shift
key
pressed.
HINT
You need to hold down the Shift key and then left mouse click.
Click
the >> button.
Recall that at the beginning of the scenario, we said we wanted to exclude Flight Attendants from this call type. Accordingly, let's move that category back to the Excluded list.
Click
the DEN-319-FA list
item.
Click
the << button.
Click
the Save button.
The bottom line shows the new call type along with the categories it applies to.
SUCCESS
Congratulations! You have successfully reviewed how to configure reserve call types.
