Aircraft filter are used in the Schedule/Roster Gantt to filter the display of the aircraft fleet or only certain selection of them. This can be done on the upper-left corner of the Gantt. Filters may be used throughout N-OC. They are also available in various dialogs to narrow the list of aircraft when the user wants to only work with a selection (e.g. Maintenance Service dialog).
‘Aircraft filters’ is located under (Editors > Aircraft > Aircraft Filters) or alternatively the user can search for aircraft filters dialog in the search field.
- Select ‘New' and enter a suitable name. (Only the Name is a mandatory field)
Additional options:
- Inherited (to use a previously created aircraft filter and then build on top of that one).
- Group - the user can define which user group will be able to use the filter.
- Valid From / Valid To
- Active Default
- Public Protected Private
Field | Description |
Public | All users can see the filter. |
Protected | Only admin group can see this filter. |
| Private | Only the user that created the filter can see it. |
Sort order | The order that the filters will appear in the filter drop down list. Note: See above. |
2. After saving this basic information, a bookmark ‘Parameter(s)’ appears in the dialog. Here the user can define the aircraft filter parameters.
3. Under ‘Parameter(s)’, click on ‘Add Parameter’ to create a filter. Select the required Field.
The user can create additional parameter(s). Then it is necessary to use the correct Math Operator (OR/AND/NOT).
‘AND’ = ALL parameter criteria must be fulfilled.
Example: Filter for only my airline AND aircraft type F50, then F50 aircraft from another airline will not be included in the filter.
‘OR’ = any of the parameters will be used.
Example: all F50 aircraft would be displayed for other airlines also).
Static - not implemented
Dynamic - not implemented
Note: Parameters are only available when creating a new filter, however, the filter is limited and does not include (aircraft) type.
Recommendation: There are many other options which are deemed to be more precise when creating an aircraft-related filter in N-OC.
Alternatively, the new parameter entry dialog can be used.
