RostAct Action is a concept that can be used to change or replace the attributes of an assigned activity in the Roster Gantt. This can be used for new activities as well.
What is needed to execute this functionality:
- Reference activities
- Special roles (optional depending on the RostAct)
- Roster filters (depends on the RostAct)
- RostAct Action
- RostAct Action group.
Reference Activities
Make sure you have the appropriate reference activities. This includes the current activity (or activities) and the activity you want it to change into, if applicable.
Special Roles
This should be used if the action only applies to certain crew members with specific special roles.
Roster Filters
RostAct Action New Hire
This action places a Roster Designator "T" on a New Hire when you assign a flight who has the special role "NHFD" and if it is a flight activity. Since the action is of type "New", it happens automatically.
RostAct Action Sick
This action applies to a Reference Activities and replaces the assigned activity with the "Sick" activity.
Note: This does not occur automatically.
RostAct Action Group
You can use the Group function to have many rules that all do the same action.
In this example, Flights and reference activities are changed.
Actio
Mark the activities you want to change, right-click and select the Action option. A dropdown list shows the available rules.
If we select SICK, the original assigned activity is changed to SICK.
