The Table Configuration Input Attribute -> Source

In this table all attributes, which can be received from different sources, can be assigned a priority according to which the information is considered by the system and it can be configured whether the information received from a source is allowed to be published to connected FIDS displays or interfaces.

This table has to be used for example for all flight time stamps (such as STA, STD, ETA, BTA), which need to be configured for each source from which they can be received.

Please note, that the time stamps and sources need to be defined together with topsystem GmbH: These data cannot be added by a user. This module is intended to allow administrators to change the priority of time stamps per source as well as to mark if a time stamp is publishable or not (for example at displays configured in the optional module FIDS).

The following attributes are shown or can be configured per time stamp.

  • Station:*

Station to which this configuration applies; this column is only shown if you are logged in above station level.

  • Autoid:

Automatically generated, unique sequential number which is used as an identifier for the data record.

  • Sort Order:

Number to determine the order in which the time stamp appears in the table Manual Flight Time Entries in the module Flights

  • Input Attribute:*

Attribute (e.g. time stamp type like STA) which is to be configured

  • A/D:

Applicability of the attribute to ARRIVAL, DEPARTURE or ROTATION; this is predefined per attribute in the database and cannot be changed by a user.

  • Nullable:

Indicates whether the attribute can be empty or not; for example it is configured that the user cannot delete an ST without providing a new one, while it makes sense that the user is allowed to delete an ET. This is predefined per attribute in the database and cannot be changed by a user.

  • Source:*

Source from which the time stamp can be received and for which this configuration applies

  • Prio:*

Priority of the time stamp received from the Source

  • Publishable:

Determines whether the attribute received from the Source is allowed to be published to external interfaces

  • Remark:

Freely definable comment

  • Last Changed:

Date and time when the data record was changed last (filled automatically)

  • Modified By:

Name of the last user who changed the data record (filled automatically)
