Journey Log Archive |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The main window of the application is the Documents view with its main function - to organize and display the archive of completed Journey Log documents.
The window itself is composed of two panes - the left part of the window is intended for navigation within the archive and the right part for presentation of a selected document. The tree navigation in the left pane is combined with the corresponding lists of used codes and calendar navigation in the toolbar. In this way it is possible to access the desired document on the instant. When the bottom Flights tab is selected we can browse through all flight orders that were issued on the target date. When the Crew tab is selected all flight orders for the specified crew member in the target month are listed. Using the keyboard navigation keys the user can quickly browse through the lists and change the target period accordingly. Another and also very efficient way of navigation is built into the Table view. When the user double-clicks the item in its upper pane, the Document view will appear automatically, if not already present, and the corresponding flight order will be displayed in its right pane. The Journey Log document is formed by four main areas: header, legs specification, crew members specification and notes. The document is usually created in the ACROSS application and taken by the crew on duty as official flight order. The majority of the fields are already filled in by the system when the form is printed. When returning from duty the crew returns the updated and signed document to the operations control where updated or added data is input into TOWER application when necessary. The modern alternative for the paper form is its digital version on the on-board tablet PC. The displayed document can be printed or copied via the clipboard to be used in other applications. Ad-hoc Analyses The double Table view is used for various analyses of flight operations or crew members duty cumulatives. While the top pane is used for selections, the bottom one displays results of performed calculations. The calculations are generated on the basis of selections that are carried out by a special Wizard tool. This tool offers users the possibility to describe characteristics of the required selections in a series of consecutive dialogs. The dialogs have been carefully designed to make this process easier. The user has to confirm certain options, choose among offered items or select them from the lists and indicate the logical relations between various conditions. The final effect of such operation is the list of selected items inserted into the upper table of the window and the result of the calculation (sum, average, minimum or maximum value) inserted into the bottom table. After some additional actions within the selection list - deletion of some rows or sorting - another calculation can be performed on the basis of complete table or selected items. Reports While many comprehensive analyses can be performed by comparing the results prepared by the process described above, several standard reports are also available. Various reports regarding delays and crew averages can be generated and configured to show detailed or summarized data displaying cumulative values. Charts Several chart reports can be created in no time and attached to appropriate tabs in the Charts window. All these reports can be easily copied or exported for later usage with other applications.  |
