Sign In creation


In order to create a signature you need to have the CREATE keyword.

It must be kept in mind that the city where the signature will be created will be taken from the city where the agent that will create it is positioned.

For example, if the signature creator agent is positioned in BUE and you want to create a signature for COR, you must make the AAACOR command to go to COR, and just be able to generate the signature in COR.

The steps to follow for the creation of signatures are as follows.

Signature sign-up


Signature sign up is the first step for the creation of the sign in.

A numeric code of 4 to 6 characters is entered, followed by the city of origin of the signature user and the alphabet code of 2 characters (which may be the agent initials.)

  • Cities can not be entered if the country they belong to is already selected:

    • If you enter AR (Argentina) you cannot enter COR (City of Argentina).

    • The validation will be done at the moment of reconfirmation. System will respond with a warning message advising that the city or cities will be deleted, only the country will remain: WARNING - DUE TO THESE CITIES AND/OR AIRPORTS <CITY/AIRPORT CODE> <CITY/AIRPORT CODE> BELONG TO THESE COUNTRIES: <COUNTRY CODE> <COUNTRY CODE>, THEY WILL NOT BE ADDED IN THIS TRANSACTION. PLEASE CONFIRM ADDING /Y

A  new one must be entered at the moment of the signature entry (SI command <USER ID>.

The new keys must contain at least 7 characters and a maximum of 8 characters and, if so, they must contain numbers and letters.

Considerations:

  • System will block signature after 5 failed attempts to enter a correct password.

  • System  will block terminal  after 10 failed attempts to enter a correct password.

HB1010MIAPC

HC+ Current User with keywords and duties to clone

HC9080

HC entry will clone user 9080 keywords and duties into 1010 new signature.

  • From this step, the remaining fields required to create a new user must be completed (name, city, sign out time, etc.) and finally record the data, and activate it.

  • If an attempt is made to clone permissions from a non-existent user, the system will respond to the following message, after entering HC command AGENTE NO ENCONTRADO(AGENT NOT FOUND)

  • If an attempt is made to clone keywords to an already created user, the system will respond with the following message, indicating that the action can not be executed Duty/KEYWORDS ALREADY ASSOCIATED TO AGT .CLONING COMMAND ONLY APPLIES TO NEW AGENTS

Market Control table


The market control table is a tool that allows controlling the airline sales. Market table allows selecting and configuring  sales strategy.

The purpose of this is to configure the classes, flights and markets to be displayed in the availability and viewership level. 

The table is divided into two groups:

  • One is the recipient of the rule (User, Terminal, Device, Office or Item). Entering the rule can only be done by selecting  one of the options as a possible recipient.

  • The other group indicates the action that will take (Status) and the classes on which elements will take the action indicated (dates of availability, flights, market).

To do this, the corresponding indicators must be configured:

The command to display the table is:



Description:

ITEM

Item Number

USER

User ID

DEVICE

Terminal

OFFICE

Office ID

RBR

Category (Airline,Agency)

EFF-UTC

Effective Date

EXP-UTC

Expire Date

FLT-FLT

Flight range

MARKET

Markets

STAT

Status

Class

RBDs

Another way to visualize the table indicating the signature that created the rule.



By header  shows the signature and the UTC date and time that the  rule insert command was executed.

Application logic:

The logic of the table is  to apply the most restrictive recipient, class or element.

In the recipients, the order of the most least restrictive is:

  1. User

  2. Terminal

  3. Office

  4. Category

For example, if there is a rule that applies to the AGT category but there is another rule that applies to an specific agency's OFFICE (BUEA7760), will take the most restrictive for the office,

For classes there are two options:

  1. A specified class (or several aligned)

  2. All classes(ALL)

For example, if there is one rule that applies to all flights but another that indicates that it applies to a one specified ,system will  apply the most restrictive one.

  • From this step, the remaining fields required to create a new user must be completed (name, city, sign out time, etc.) and finally record the data, and activate it.

  • If an attempt is made to clone permissions from a non-existent user, the system will respond to the following message, after entering HC command AGENTE NO ENCONTRADO(AGENT NOT FOUND)

Market Control table


The market control table is a tool that allows controlling the airline sales. Market table allows selecting and configuring  sales strategy.

The purpose of this is to configure the classes, flights and markets to be displayed in the availability and viewership level. 

The table is divided into two groups:

  • One is the recipient of the rule (User, Terminal, Device, Office or Item). Entering the rule can only be done by selecting  one of the options as a possible recipient.

  • The other group indicates the action that will take (Status) and the classes on which elements will take the action indicated (dates of availability, flights, market).

To do this, the corresponding indicators must be configured:

The command to display the table is:



Description:

ITEM

Item Number

USER

User ID

DEVICE

Terminal

OFFICE

Office ID

RBR

Category (Airline,Agency)

EFF-UTC

Effective Date

EXP-UTC

Expire Date

FLT-FLT

Flight range

MARKET

Markets

STAT

Status

Class

RBDs

Another way to visualize the table indicating the signature that created the rule.



By header  shows the signature and the UTC date and time that the  rule insert command was executed.

Application logic:

The logic of the table is  to apply the most restrictive recipient, class or element.

In the recipients, the order of the most least restrictive is:

  1. User

  2. Terminal

  3. Office

  4. Category

For example, if there is a rule that applies to the AGT category but there is another rule that applies to an specific agency's OFFICE (BUEA7760), will take the most restrictive for the office,

For classes there are two options:

  1. A specified class (or several aligned)

  2. All classes(ALL)

For example, if there is one rule that applies to all flights but another that indicates that it applies to a one specified ,system will  apply the most restrictive one.
