S-106923 Community - Add Absences information to the Result Report
Description
Feature: Custom Results Reports with Detailed Absences
Description: The Results tab has been updated to give users more control over how absence data is displayed and reported.
Details:
Users can now mark or unmark individual absence records within the Results tab.
The logic for the "Show Results Report" button has been enhanced: checking specific items will filter the resulting report to show only those selections. If no records are checked, the report provides a full overview of all available awards and absences.
The Results Report now provides detailed metrics for absences, explicitly displaying the Start Date/Time, End Date/Time, Total Credit, and In Period Credit.
Acceptance criteria
GIVEN any bidder
WHEN they have an absence in their schedule, and the bidder clicks the show results report option
THEN the result report will contain detailed absence information
S-64281 Community - Add Ordered to Layover Bid
Description
Feature: Ordered Preferences for Layover Stations
Description: The Bid UI has been enhanced to allow users to save and process Layover Stations in a specific order of preference.
Details:
A new "Ordered" (YES/NO) selection has been added specifically to the Layover "Stations" sub-option.
The resulting bid syntax will explicitly display this choice (e.g., Award Pairings If Any Layover in (Ordered) NRT, PVG And On Aug 2, 2024).
Validation Rules: To maintain valid bid logic, the system will enforce the following restrictions, displaying an on-screen warning and greying out the "Apply" button if a conflict is detected:
"Ordered" cannot be combined with "Avoid" or "If Not".
"Ordered" cannot be used with linked bids (Followed-By or Hub-Turn).
"Ordered" cannot be used with the "Every" property.
A single Award bid line cannot contain more than one "Ordered" property.
Key Rules
Bid UI should disallow "Ordered" from being used with a link bid (Followed-By
(used by lots of customers) or Hub-Turn
(used only by HALC)). Bid UI already does this for Followed-By and Hub-Turn for existing properties with Ordered -The error message should be displayed. (Screen 1, Screen 2)

S-100686 Community - Apply Midnight offset to credit calculations when absences carry over to the next day
Description
Feature: Midnight Offset Option for Absence Credit Calculations
Description: A new configuration setting has been introduced to give airlines the option to apply their midnight offset rules when the system automatically calculates absence credits.
Details:
When enabled, the system will respect the airline's configured midnight offset when calculating the days touched and credits for newly created absence activities.
This logic applies system-wide, covering absences generated via data imports (both in-period and historical carry-in absences) as well as those added manually by an administrator in the UI.
Note: This is an optional configuration. Airlines that previously required this logic for specific imports will have it seamlessly enabled during the update to maintain continuity.

S-106936 Community - Block the ability from the pairings tab to add a specific pairing with a number selected in conjunction with a pairing with no date selected.
Description
Enhancement: Pairing Selection Date Validation
Behavior Change: The system has been updated to strictly enforce consistent date selections when adding multiple pairings. Users are no longer permitted to submit a bid that mixes pairings with specific departure dates and pairings without dates.
UI Update: The previous warning prompt has been changed to a strict block. Users attempting this action will now receive an error message guiding them to update their selections to be consistent (either all having a 'Departing On' date, or none at all). The bid will not be added until the selections match.
Acceptance criteria

S-104398 Community - Improve the error message when adding a bid line from the pairings tab, but no bid group has yet been created by the user
Description
We have updated our system alerts to be more helpful when you are building your bids. If you try to add a bid preference from the Pairings tab before you have created any bid groups, you will no longer receive a generic error. Instead, the system will provide exact instructions on how to go back to the Bids tab, set up and highlight your bid line, and successfully return to the Pairings tab to finish adding your bid.
Current Error Message
Acceptance criteria
GIVEN a PBS Bidder with no user-generated bid group

S-99982 Community - Scheduler work (for 2 new Ordered bid properties)
Description
Enhancement: Scheduler Processing for Ordered Preferences
Description: The system's scheduling logic has been updated to natively process prioritized lists for Layover Stations and Pairing Numbers within Award bids.
Details:
The scheduler evaluates "Ordered" items strictly sequentially. It does this by dividing the ordered list into separate, prioritized internal steps (e.g., evaluating station 1 entirely before moving to station 2).
Safety Check: In the rare event that an "Ordered" command bypasses UI restrictions and is submitted alongside an incompatible parameter (such as "Every"), the scheduler is programmed to safely ignore the sequence and process the bid normally to prevent system errors.
Acceptance criteria
GIVEN a run where a person has used award pairings if layover station ( ordered )
WHEN -processing this bid
THEN the scheduler will treat it as a list of preference ordered bids ( one for each layover station).
GIVEN a run where a person has used award pairings if pairing number ( ordered )
WHEN -processing this bid
THEN the scheduler will treat it as a list of preference ordered bids ( one for each pairing number).

S-107739 Community - Pairing Carry out Credit - Bidder UI work
Description
Infrastructure Update: Streamlined Interface Logic for Carryout Credit
Description: Following the introduction of a dedicated database column for Carryout Credit, the Bidder UI data pipeline has been aligned to pull this data natively.
Details: The interface now communicates carry-out credit values directly through the background PairingOnDate object. By reading this value as a stored property rather than computing it dynamically on the client side, data integrity is improved and front-end rendering performance is optimized.
Acceptance criteria
GIVEN any ALC Admin
WHEN viewing the results of the Pairing Carry-Out Credit preference in the pairings tab
THEN the Pairing Carry-Out Credit value that's used to filter the pairings should match the value that's displayed in the pairing report.
