ANM Display

Function presentation

This display gives the ATFCM Notification Message (ANM) details for a selected date.
Data retrieved by this query are extracted from the ATM Message Exchange (AME) database.

Opening the window

From the Application / ATFCM menu, select the option ATM Messages / ANM.
Immediate shortcut to bypass menu selection : <Ctrl> + <Shift> + <F3>.

A new empty ANM Display window will be opened with the following defaults :

Date : current or last queried traffic date is proposed (relative to current UTC date) depending on selected user preference (CHMI / ATFCM application / General / Dates and times / Default date proposed for query).
Released On : proposed empty (optional query criteria).

On initial display, the focus is set on the Date control.
After this it is moved to the Released On edit control of the combo box and finally on the Retrieve List button.

Preparing to query

The Date may be adjusted to one of the proposed values. Common ATFCM Tactical / Pre-Tactical dates behaviour is implemented.
The Released On query criteria is optional.
It allows the selection of the latest ANM released on a specified date and time. (DD-HH:MM)
By clicking on the Retrieve List button, the system will issue a query to propose the list of effective release stamps for the selected date.
On reply of the Retrieve List, the focus is set on the Released On edit control of the combo box.
When the Release stamp is not provided, the system will return the latest released ANM data for the selected date.
The Send button will send the query to the CFMU system.
This window may be closed before any query is issued.
The Reset action common functionality is implemented for this function.

Displaying the query results

The title contains the time stamp when the information was retrieved from the CFMU system.
The header box contains the selected query criteria :

The observed Date.
And possibly the Released On stamp.

Just below the header box, a combo box contains all the FMPs related to the different regulations listed in the displayed ANM.
This combo box allows sub-selection on all or one specific FMP.
Next to the FMP combo box, the "Released On" text gives the day and time when the displayed ANM message has been released (DD-HH:MM).
The Modif from combo box is filled in with the different release dates of the displayed list of regulations.

By default, the entry (all) displays the full list.
If you change to one of the specific Release dates in the combo box, the list will be filtered to leave only the regulations created or modified from the selected release date onward.
This filter is a sub-selection of the FMP filter described above. It means that the filtering on FMP will happen first and the selection on release dates will be done on the remaining regulations.

Note : When the ANM Display is invoked from the ATM Messages Release Notifier, after the immediate query, the Modif from combo box will be set to pre-select the latest Release time stamp.

A counter indicates the number of regulations displayed.
This counter might be affected by the "FMP" and/or the "Modif from" filter sub-selections. (fff / rrr Regulations where fff is the filtered number and rrr is the retrieved number).
Three different sort sequences may be alternatively selected by clicking on the corresponding header button :

The displayed regulations are initially sorted on the FMP code and for the same FMP, by Regulation identifier.
Alternatively, the displayed list may be sorted directly by Regulation identifier.
A third possibility is to sort the displayed list on the Regulation number.

Subsequent clicks on these header buttons swap between ascending and descending sequences.
Selecting one of these sort sequence will reset the filtering criteria to "(all)" for both the FMP and the Modif from.
The title of the active sort sequence is followed by an arrow indicating the sort direction.
For each Regulation, the detailed group of lines contains :

The global sequence number (SEQ) of a regulation (01 for the first regulation). If the regulation is cancelled, its number is not re-used.
The Flow Management Position (FMP) identifier.
The regulation state (NEW, CANCEL or CHANGE).
AREA CONCERNED is the description of the Traffic Volume where the regulation is applied.
FL is the description of the Flight Levels concerned by the regulation. It may contain a range of minimum and maximum FLs or a special keyword (e.g. ALL) or a FL followed by a sign (e.g. 195+).
FROM/TO gives the start and end time of the regulation (CNL for a cancelled regulation).
Regulation is the regulation identifier.
REASON indicates the initial cause of the regulation.
RMK is an optional remark string.
In front of all detail line(s) for one regulation, the presence of a "+" flag indicates whether this regulation was modified and consequently published in the displayed released ANM. No "+" flag indicates that the regulation was published by an earlier ANM and not modified since then.

On ANM detail query results display, the focus is set on the ANM detail listbox control after selecting the first line in the listbox.
After this the focus moves to the Seq, FMP and Regulation header buttons, then on the query data elements FMP and finally to the FMP and the Release on filter selection.
