The schedule can be assigned a state and be marked open/closed to control the boarding process.
Overview
When a schedule is closed, employees are prevented from adding or changing bookings, luggage and freight as well as the schedule properties, ensuring the integrity of the final manifest. Non-manifested bookings on the schedule, such as waitlisted and cancelled bookings can still be changed.
- A supervisor marks a schedule Closed in the Booking Agent.
- A crew member marks the schedule Signed off in the Crew Portal.
This “double lock” prevents a supervisor from re-opening the schedule which could create a safety and security issue.
