| Time change range (minutes) | Difference in departure time between modified and alternate flights. If the condition is specified and the calculated value of the difference equals or exceeds the specified range, then the plan formed preliminary is sent for manual confirmation | Maximum value (a number of minutes) | |
| Route | |||

| Nmb of legs | Acceptable change of a number of legs relative to a modified flight segment | Number of legs:
| |
| Nmb of connections | If the condition is specified and the found solution assumes re-accommodation on connecting flights whose number equals or exceeds the specified value of an acceptable number of connections (a number of connecting alternate flights) then the plan formed preliminary is sent for manual confirmation | Maximum number of connections | |
