NOP Portal - Help
DECONFLICT

From the Setup Management mode (accessed from the CSST portlet, as explained here), the first step is here also to select from the SEASONS tab the IATA season for which the set ups are to be applied  the DECONFLICT tab.

This opens the DECONFLICT tab, featuring the Global Setups and AO Setups sections.

A third section View Setups is also available, when the CSS Edit Setup window has been opened from the Setups button featured in the Workflow window for a given View:

The SEASONS tab is not available in this case.

Global Setups

Expand the AO Setups section to reveal the 2 options available:

  • Similarity rule implementations
  • CSMC Similarity Rules
  • Reference buffer time (in minutes)
  • Buffer times (in minutes)

This last tab, again under Global Setups, gathers four sections:

Similarity rule implementations

CSMC Similiarity Rules

Reference buffer times

Buffer times

 

AO Setups

Expand the AO Setups section to reveal the 2 options available:

  • Buffer times (in minutes)
  • AO Similarity Rules

Buffer Times

Select Buffer Times to open the editing window.

The default settings can be modified within the minimum and maximum values.

AO Similarity Rules 

Select AO Similarity Rules to display the existing rules.

You can create rules and delete rules that you have created yourself. You cannot however delete rules created by CSMC - but you can deactivate them.

 

Creating a Rule 

For this example we will use the rule 'COMBINATIONS TO AVOID'. This rule is commonly used to exclude certain digit or letter combinations.

Click on the Create button to open the rules databank, and make your selection:

1 select the COMBINATIONS_ TO_ AVOID

2 save your selection with a click on Create selected rule type button.

You can sort the list alphabetically (ascending/descending) by clicking on the header of a column.

Each rule shall however not rely on more that one 'Combination to avoid' field - so you can not combine Exact matches with Starts, for example.

Click on the OK button when you have completed your settings.

You may now click on the Save button - the newly created rule is now added to the list of AO rules. This is now the list of 'Detection' rules which will be applied to all Views created by the user. 

Remember that  Setups (rules and buffer times) can also be changed in each individual View created - but they will only apply to that specific View.

Deleting a Rule

A rule can be deleted by clicking on the corresponding red cross, as appearing the left column. 

 

View Setups

Expand the View Setups section to reveal the 2 options available:

  • Buffer times (in minutes)
  • View Similarity Rules

Please refer to the above AO Setups section for description and usage for these two parameters.
