Leg complement rules define how complements are assigned to each leg when they are created. Leg complements are defined by a Crew Complement, a matching leg filter, and a priority. The different definitions will be computed from lowest priority number to highest priority number. If there is a match, it will stop the search. Therefore, the most specific definitions should have a lower number in priority and the more generic a higher number to catch any leg that does not match any other filter. Should you change any definition after the flight has been created, you will need to re-compute the complements in the schedule section of the Roster Wizard.
To search for the leg complement, type the name in the search field and click the SEARCH button. The result displays in the same dialog window.
