Combined Flights view |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The main window is divided into two parts that represent two synchronized views on the selected information: graphical as analogue and numerical as digital interpretation.
The upper view displays the current flight plan combined with actual operations for a selected fleet. Both types of data are displayed side by side to be compared easily. The left part of the upper window contains buttons marked with aircraft registrations that designate the corresponding rows. Flights are represented in the form of rectangles containing flight number and airport codes. Only rectangles that represent charter flights are colored to be easily distinct from the scheduled flights. The bottom view is constantly synchronized with the information that is displayed in the upper view. This time the information is expressed in the form of numerical table. The columns in this table represent not only physical data on flights, like times, airports, passenger, cargo and load factors but also evaluated data, like fixed and variable costs, revenues, contribution and net profit expressed in the selected currency. The evaluated data is also interpreted as statistical bars thus enabling the user to monitor the performance of an operation with a single glance. All objects are mouse-sensitive and can be accessed with a single click. The click brings up a dialog with several segments of information on that flight. Clients The user can assign clients and corresponding contracts to any charter flight. This data are immediately visible to other applications and views that are also displaying the flight. All documents that will be created or modified from that moment on for that particular contract, including data about payments received from the customer, will be accessible also from the flights dialog. Documents The invoice documents are specified in the Invoices view table. They are grouped by years and can be accessed by the bottom tabs. Various types of documents, like invoices, proforma invoices, credit and debit notes are marked with special symbols. The invoices that have already been sent to the customer as well as already paid invoices are also denoted with symbols. In this way it is easy to quickly establish the state of obligations at any time with simple column sorting which groups together certain documents that have expired. The creation of invoice documents is also very easy. With a special dialog the user simply chooses the customer with existing contract from the list and selects the corresponding invoice items from the flights that have been linked to the specified contract. With another few selections the document language and currency can quickly be specified and the document can already be previewed or printed in the required number of copies. Apart from the paper form of the document its digital data is transferred daily into accounting department where it can be processed with other specialized applications. The data of incoming payments regularly travels, of course, in the opposite direction. Calculator Having all data regarding the price lists of various services at different airports in its database it is easy for the application to offer the user a quick and handy calculation of costs for any route or configuration. The user is thus able to respond to customer's inquiries with qualified tenders and well considered answers. Reports Various reports regarding charter flights and corresponding documents organized by dates, partners or routes 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.  |
