WIND
Scenario

The Scenario folder holds all the issued Scenario documents:

Scenarios are delivered on the NOP via the ATFCM Measures (Scenarios) Portlet:

Structure

The Scenario Portlet is a somewhat complex one, and features 5 tabs:

  • General
  • Details
  • Places
  • Applicability
  • Periods

General

The General tab contains high level parameters such as:

  • Title: the name of the Scenario as it will appear on the NOP
  • Unique ID: this field is not editable - the system generates a unique Id when you first Apply or Save your document.
  • Keywords: the list of keywords associated with the document
  • Display Period: The Start and End date of the period during which the document will be visible on the NOP.
Note: Please see here for details about the Keywords and here for details about the Display Period.

Details

The Details tab presents 7 more parameters:

  • Conditions: //def
  • Refile: //def
  • Suggested Alternative Routes: a list of suggested alternative routes, separated by a carriage return
  • Comments: Text field to enter optional comments
  • Draft: Check box to indicate the document is still being drafted. Allows the NOP user to pick-up the desired document Status from the Portal:

  • Show Scenario Image Inline: Check box to instruct the system to display the image defined in the Scenario File parameter within the Scenario Details Detached View
  • Scenario File > File Name: Drag and drop here the relevant image from the File resources tree

Places

The Places tab contains three panels used to indicate the different locations associated with the Scenario:

  • Origins / Destinations
  • OnLoad / OffLoad Areas
  • Locations

Managing 'Places'

Click on the Add button to create a new Place and enter its name or description - and on Apply (or OK) to save it.

Click on the Delete button to erase a selected Place.

Applicability

This is where you enter one or more period or applicability.

Scenarios may have various applicability schemes - this is why WIND proposes six ways to set the applicability ranges:

  1. Date/Time
    This is the standard way to provide a Start / End pair of Date/Time values:


  2. Year
    Use the Year argument when the scenario is valid for a whole year - and type in/select the appropriate value:


  3. Season
    Seasonal plans are designated with the Season argument, in which you select both the Season (SPRING, SUMMER, FALL, WINTER) and Year parameters:


  4. Month
    Use the Month argument when a given Scenario has a monthly applicability span, in which you select both the Month and Year:



  5. Week
    Use the Week argument when a given Scenario has a weekly applicability span, in which you select both the Week and Year:


  6. As Weekly Day Period
    This last way allows you to set a Start and End time for a selection (by means of check boxes) of days in the week.

Periods

The Periods tab features two panels, Agreed Periods and Active Periods, which you can manage in the way described in the Display Period section.
