Field

Description

Block changing occurrence in schedule

According to the calculation rule, DRAKE automatically sets an occurrence to embark or disembark the employee. E.g.: Rodrigo embarked before enjoying his 14-day off period; DRAKE will generate an extra time for each day off not taken on his time sheet. This occurrence may or may not be changed manually. It is recommended to keep it blocked, since DRAKE will calculate the occurrences correctly .

Create logistical schedules independent of end of contract

Allows to generate logistic schedules even after contracts expiring dates.

Request Type:  Change or Schedule. 

This is the standard type of request that DRAKE inserts when automatically generates crew change logistic schedules. However, this can be changed when the Crew Change responsible enters the Logistic Schedule on DRAKE

Transport Type: Airplane, Helicopter or Maritime

Is the default type of transports for crew change DRAKE automatically inserts when generating crew change schedules. This can be also changed when the crew change responsible performs changes on DRAKE schedules.

Allow embark on base OUs for work and overtime occurences.

 If there is a postponement, participants will earn an embark or extra time event depending on their work schedules, but they will remain on land. This parameter defines whether it is possible to embark employees with these occurrences while on land. It is recommended this option to be checked so that there are no problems embarking postponement participants.

Copy TR's on postponed flight

 In cases of postponement, this parameter will define if the Transport Request (TR) will be copied to the postponed schedule.

 Defines whether DRAKE will include workers in schedules that are automatically generated.

Remove empty logistic schedules by scale changes

 If there are changes in class scale, DRAKE will reallocate class participants to new schedules on new dates, leaving the old schedules empty. This parameter will define if DRAKE will be able to erase them or not. We recommend that you leave this option checked.

Justify absence during finalization

 If this parameter is checked, DRAKE will ask for an excuse for absence whenever an employee does not embark on his/her class change date.

Filling absence justification

Defines if any information will be automatically filled to the absence reason.

Default reason absence justification

Require contract

It requires specific permission to include participant with block in programming

 If checked, a permission to include participant with blocking will be required. The permission will be "include participant with block in schedule"

It requires specific permission to include participant with alert in programming

 If checked, a permission will be required to include participant with alert. The permission will be  "Include participant with alert in schedule"

Use rest operational unit address for logistic schedules

If checked, the rest operational unit recorded on Units will be used to generate schedule disembark address.

Keeping checked off the demand of alert or block permission, the system will allow any user with this permission to work on logistic schedule by allocating workers. There is also the permission to “Finish blocked schedule”, that allows only specific users to finish a logistic schedule.
