Scheduling Settings

The page displays two radio button views:

• Active: Shows flight types currently in use. These appear in dropdowns when creating or editing flights.
• Deactivated: Shows flight types that have been removed from active use. Deactivated types no longer appear in dropdowns but remain in the system for historical flights.

Switching between views updates the table immediately. Each view has its own search, sort, and pagination controls.

A search box (top-left) filters flight types by name as you type. The search applies to the currently selected view (Active or Deactivated). An information icon next to the search box shows which fields are searchable.

If no results match your search, an alert displays: "There are no [active/deactivated] flight types for your search terms."

In the Active view, click the Add flight type button (top-right) to open the flight type window. The window opens with a blank form:

• Flight Type: Enter a descriptive name (e.g., "Charter - Passenger", "Training Flight", "Ferry"). This field is required.

Click Submit to save the new flight type. The system validates that the name is not empty. While submitting, the button shows a loading indicator with text "Submitting..."

Cancel closes the window without saving. New flight types are added to the bottom of the Active list and can be reordered using the sort arrows.

The Active table displays flight types in custom sort order. Each row shows:

• Sort arrows: Move the flight type up or down in the list. The top item has only a down arrow; the bottom item has only an up arrow.
• Edit: Opens the flight type window with the current name pre-filled.
• Flight Type: The display name shown in dropdowns and reports.
• Deactivate: Red button with a ban icon that removes the flight type from active use. The type moves to the Deactivated view.

Sorting: Click the up/down arrows to reorder flight types. The new order applies immediately and affects the order in which flight types appear in scheduling dropdowns.

Pagination: If more than 15 flight types exist, the table paginates. Use the dropdown (top-left) to show 15, 30, or 60 items per page. Navigation controls appear at the bottom of the table.

In the Active table, click the Edit button (blue pencil icon) to open the flight type window. The window title changes to "Edit flight type" and the current name is pre-filled.

Change the name as needed and click Submit to save. The change applies immediately to all dropdowns, reports, and existing flights using this type.

Cancel discards changes and closes the window.

Deactivating a flight type

In the Active table, click the red Deactivate button (ban icon) for the flight type you want to remove from active use. The flight type immediately moves to the Deactivated view and is removed from all scheduling dropdowns.

Important: Existing flights using this type retain their classification. Only new flights are prevented from selecting the deactivated type.

Reactivating a flight type

Switch to the Deactivated view and locate the flight type. Click the green Activate button (plus icon) to restore the type to active use. The flight type moves back to the Active view and appears in scheduling dropdowns again.

Reactivated types are added to the bottom of the Active list. Use the sort arrows to move them to the desired position.

The Deactivated table shows flight types removed from active use. The table includes:

• Flight Type: The name of the deactivated type. Click the column header to sort alphabetically (ascending or descending).
• Activate: Green button with a plus icon that restores the flight type to active use.

Empty state: If no flight types are deactivated, an alert displays: "There are no deactivated flight types."

The main area displays a table with two columns:

• Description: The setting name and purpose
• Value: The current configured value

Click the Edit settings button (top-right) to open the settings window and modify values.

The Edit settings window opens as a large window with fields for each configuration parameter. Fields shown in the table:

Saving changes: After modifying settings, click Save to apply the changes. The window shows a loading indicator ("Saving...") while processing. Once saved, the window closes and the table updates to show the new values.

Cancel discards all changes and closes the window. No settings are updated.

The table displays checkmarks and crosses to indicate boolean settings:

• Green checkmark: Setting is enabled
• Red cross: Setting is disabled

Numeric values (e.g., turnaround hours) display as formatted numbers. Airport selections show the full airport name (e.g., "OR Tambo International Airport - FAOR") or a dash ("-") if not configured.

Similar to Flight Types, the page displays two views:

• Active: Shows fields currently enabled. These appear in flight forms when creating or editing flights.
• Deactivated: Shows fields that have been disabled. Deactivated fields no longer appear in forms but historical data is retained.

Use the radio buttons (centre of the toolbar) to switch between views.

A search box (top-left) filters fields by name, label, or type as you type. An information icon next to the search box lists all searchable fields.

If no results match, an alert displays: "There are no [active/deactivated] fields for your search terms."

Click the Add field button (top-right) to open the flight field window. The window includes:

• Name: Internal identifier for the field (used in code/API). Use camel case or underscores (e.g., "customer_ref", "contractCode").
• Label: Display name shown to users in forms (e.g., "Customer Reference", "Contract Code").
• Type: Field data type. Options include Text, Number, Date, Checkbox, Dropdown, etc.
• Required: Toggle on to make the field mandatory when creating or editing flights.
• Additional options: Depending on field type, additional options appear (e.g., dropdown values, default value, validation rules).

Click Submit to create the field. The new field is added to the Active fields table and immediately appears in flight forms.

Cancel closes the window without saving.

The Active table displays custom fields in sort order. Each row shows:

• Sort arrows: Reorder fields to control the sequence in which they appear on flight forms.
• Edit: Opens the field window with current settings pre-filled.
• Name: Internal field identifier.
• Label: Display name shown to users.
• Type: Field data type (e.g., Text, Number, Date).
• Required: Checkmark if the field is mandatory.
• Deactivate: Red button that disables the field. It moves to the Deactivated view and is removed from flight forms.

Pagination: If more than 15 fields exist, use the items per page dropdown and navigation controls.

Click the Edit button (blue pencil icon) to open the field window. Modify the label, type, required status, or other options as needed.

Important: Changing the field type may affect existing data. For example, changing from Text to Number may cause validation errors for flights with non-numeric values stored. Review existing data before making type changes.

Click Submit to save changes. The field updates immediately in all flight forms.

Deactivating a field

In the Active table, click the red Deactivate button for the field. The field immediately moves to the Deactivated view and is removed from flight forms.

Data retention: Existing flight records retain values for deactivated fields. The data is not deleted, but users cannot view or edit it in the standard flight form.

Reactivating a field

Switch to the Deactivated view and click the green Activate button. The field moves back to the Active view and reappears in flight forms. Historical data for this field becomes visible and editable again.

Reactivated fields are added to the bottom of the Active list. Use the sort arrows to position them as needed.

The Deactivated table shows fields removed from flight forms. Columns include:

• Name: Internal field identifier. Click the column header to sort.
• Label: Display name.
• Type: Field data type.
• Required: Whether the field was mandatory when active.
• Activate: Green button that restores the field to active use.

Empty state: If no fields are deactivated, an alert displays: "There are no deactivated fields."

Similar to Flight Types and Flight Fields, the page displays two views:

• Active: Shows document types currently in use. These appear as folders in the airport documents window where users can add and manage documents.
• Deactivated: Shows document types that have been removed from active use. Deactivated types no longer appear as folders in the documents window.

Use the radio buttons (centre of the toolbar) to switch between views. The table updates immediately to show the selected view.

A search box (top-left) filters document types by name as you type. The search applies to the currently selected view (Active or Deactivated). An information icon next to the search box shows which fields are searchable.

If no results match your search, an alert displays: "There are no [active/deactivated] airport document types for your search terms."

In the Active view, click the Add airport document type button (top-right) to open the document type window. The window opens with a blank form:

• Airport Document Type: Enter a descriptive category name (e.g., "Charts", "Photos", "Standard Operating Procedures", "Permits", "Facility Maps"). This field is required.

Click Submit to save the new document type. The system validates that the name is not empty. While submitting, the button shows a loading indicator with text "Submitting..."

Cancel closes the window without saving. New document types are added to the bottom of the Active list and can be reordered using the sort arrows. The new folder appears immediately in the airport documents window for all airports.

The Active table displays document types in custom sort order. This order determines the sequence in which folders appear in the airport documents window. Each row shows:

• Sort arrows: Move the document type up or down in the list. The top item has only a down arrow; the bottom item has only an up arrow.
• Edit: Opens the document type window with the current name pre-filled.
• Airport Document Type: The folder name shown in the airport documents window.
• Deactivate: Red button with a ban icon that removes the document type from active use. The folder moves to the Deactivated view and no longer appears in the documents window.

Sorting: Click the up/down arrows to reorder document types. The new order applies immediately and affects the folder sequence in the airport documents window for all airports.

Pagination: If more than 15 document types exist, the table paginates. Use the dropdown (top-left) to show 15, 30, or 60 items per page. Navigation controls appear at the bottom of the table.

In the Active table, click the Edit button (blue pencil icon) to open the document type window. The window title changes to "Edit airport document type" and the current name is pre-filled.

Change the name as needed and click Submit to save. The change applies immediately to the folder name displayed in the airport documents window for all airports.

Cancel discards changes and closes the window.

Deactivating a document type

In the Active table, click the red Deactivate button (ban icon) for the document type you want to remove from active use. The document type immediately moves to the Deactivated view and the folder no longer appears in the airport documents window.

Important: Documents already categorised under this type remain in the system and retain their categorisation. However, the folder is hidden from the documents window, and users cannot add new documents to this category. Existing documents can still be viewed by searching or filtering in the documents table.

Reactivating a document type

Switch to the Deactivated view and locate the document type. Click the green Activate button (plus icon) to restore the type to active use. The document type moves back to the Active view and the folder reappears in the airport documents window. Documents previously categorised under this type become visible in the folder again.

Reactivated types are added to the bottom of the Active list. Use the sort arrows to move them to the desired position in the folder sequence.

The Deactivated table shows document types removed from active use. The table includes:

• Airport Document Type: The name of the deactivated type.
• Activate: Green button with a plus icon that restores the document type to active use.

Empty state: If no document types are deactivated, an alert displays: "There are no deactivated airport document types."

Document types create a consistent structure for organising airport documents across all airports in the system. When a user opens the documents window for any airport:

• Active document types appear as collapsible/expandable folders in sort order
• Users can add documents to any folder using the "Add" button in the folder row
• Documents are displayed under their assigned folder/category
• Users can move documents between folders using the "Move Documents" feature

This folder structure ensures that similar documents (e.g., all approach charts, all airport photos) are grouped together, making them easier to locate and manage.
