1 Introduction
List Screen Buttons and Fields
This topic provides an overview of the List screen and the buttons and fields on it.
We estimate that this will take 3 minutes to complete.
2 Detailed Explanation
List Screen
The List screen
provides you with a complete list of flights in the system, and
allows you to arrange your workflow by adding, expanding, filtering,
searching, deleting and quickly opening flights from the list.
By clicking on the corresponding column header, you can sort
flights by STD, Flight, Origin, Dest, ETD, ETA, Aircraft and ATC
ALC. Clicking on the same column header multiple times toggles
between ascending and descending order. A black triangle to the
right of the header title shows the direction that the list has
been sorted in.
The flight list
contains a scrollable list of flights in the system that meet
the filtering criteria. By default, these are all flights in the
system from six hours before the current time to 12 hours from
the current. The flight list also allows flights to be assigned
to groups. Users can then filter the flight list based on these
flight groups. Users can also be assigned to groups to determine
which flight groups they are interesting in viewing.
A
green-highlighted flight in the flight list indicates that the
highlighted flight is currently selected and has been loaded to
the Plan screen.
A
yellow-highlighted flight in the flight list indicates that the
highlighted flight matches the search criteria.
Test flights
are marked by a Test Flight icon to the left of the Flight
column.
The read-only
fields displayed in the flight list are described in the table
below.
The Pending
Input icon is displayed when changes
are made to a computed flight on the plan screen. The icon is
only displayed on a computed flight if a message is received
from an integrated system.
Refresh Button
Clicking the Refresh button will cause a fresh flight list to be downloaded from the server matching current filter parameters (refer to Search/Filter Group for more information). If a flight was visibly selected prior to the refresh, it will continue to be so afterwards unless it no longer appears in the flight list due to the applied filter settings. If the any of the Search fields were set prior to the refresh (refer to Search/Filter Group), the flight list will have the search parameters reapplied after the refresh. Refreshing the flight list will also update the flight loaded in the Plan screen.
Multi-Leg
Clicking the Multi-Leg button allows the user to group flights together. An example of a two leg flight is when leg 1 arrives at CYMX and leg 2 departs from CYMX. If the destination of the first leg is the origin of the second leg, then the weather and NOTAM does not need to be included twice for that station. Multi-Leg reporting is a single report for multiple flight legs.
Print Button
Clicking the Print button will print off multiple flight briefs at the same time instead of doing each individually from the reports page.
Expand Button
Clicking the Expand button
will cause all flight that have the checkbox selected to be
expanded. If more than one flight is expanded, a dialog appears
to show progress of the expansion. To collapse a flight, click
on for that flight.

Assign Button
Clicking the Assignment button will open the Flight Assignment pop-up window. The Flight Assignment pop-up-window lets users manage flight assignments. For more information on flight assignment, refer to Assigning Flights to Groups.
Auto Button
The Auto button opens the Flight Automation dialog and allows you to change the automation state of the selected flights.
Add Button
The Add button allows you to add a flight into the system without leaving the List screen.

Delete Button
The Delete button allows you to delete a flight from the flight list.
Deleting a Flight
To delete a flight from the system:
1. Select the checkbox for the flight that you wish to delete. Multiple flights can be selected.
