The Automation Defaults tab allows you to create automation profiles and add or edit a list of automation events for that profile. You can have multiple profiles, and apply a profile to all flights or to a list of flights. Using the Profile Name field, under Automation in WebFOMS, on the Main tab in Airline Code Parameters, you can select a default profile. If you select the default profile, then all flights are listed.
In the Input Defaults WebFOMS screen, you can use the Automation Profile Name field to automatically add an automation profile to a flight, if the records match. Alternatively, you can leave the Name field blank and automation will work for all flights – you do not have to use profiles.
To create a Scheduled Automation profile:
Select the ALC dropdown menu.
Enter a profile name in the Name field.
Click the Use Profile button.
Click the Add button, under Scheduled Automations, to open the Add Scheduled Automation dialog.
Select the Action from the dropdown menu, and click the Save button on the dialog box. (Note: Actions are created by NAVBLUE. Please contact Support to set these up).
Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you have all of the events or scheduled automations you want to add.
Click the Save button to complete your profile.
When your profile is saved, it is available in the dropdown list on the Automation screen, and available on the FOMS screens.
