• Recalc. of time: an operating mode is defined by using the space key (YES – to calculate time of operation schedule depending on entering flight delay, NO – not to calculate time of operation schedule depending on entering flight delay)

Operation schedule additional steps are carried out on the basis of the presented table during planned forming DFP (daily flight plan) on corresponding flights (where web check-in is allowed).

Self check-in kiosks

To describe self check-in kiosks in DCS Amber, it is required to adjust the following settings:

1. To specify the Self check-in kiosks AP/AL group in the Terminal group table of the Administration module.

An AP value presents an airport, where a kiosk is located, АК value presents an airline to which this airport belongs. It is also possible to specify a group name if necessary.

2. To enter a terminal in the Terminals table.

For the correct specification of the terminal, it is required to enter: a terminal of АL (an airline code) or AP (an airport code), K (K is the indication of a terminal in Latin) and then a terminal number, for example: UT001K or DMO01K.

3. To activate the terminal in the Terminal affiliation table.

4. To enter a user login for the terminal of the self check-in kiosk in the User table.

5. To assign a role to the user in the Distribution of categories (roles) table.

6. To restrict access for the user by AL or AP in the Access to airlines and Access to airports tables if necessary.
