Updates

Below you will find a brief overview of the Time View Layout:

Unassigned area on the top for both requests and patients: Requests that have not been assigned a call sign and/or asset will show up in the Unassigned area of the time view.
Patients that have not been assigned to a request must have a scheduled pickup/dropoff time associated with them to show up in the Unassigned area. The Scheduled pickup/dropoff time is located in the Transport Plan of the Patient Ticket
Call signs are located on the left vertical axis.
Assigned request and OOS events in the lower right section
Buttons located at the top of the time view have been added for easier grouping, filtering, and date navigation:
1. Previous Day/Next Day jumps back to the previous or future 24 hours
2. Go to Day shows a calendar to select a day
3. Users can also filter by 'right clicking' on the time/date section:
4. The Only show today option will only display the current day 00:00 to 23:59
5. Group by options:
  6. When grouped, call signs will be grouped on the left hand side by the selected group by option (Group by None sorts by call sign):
  7. NOTE: If a call sign in the list displays an * when a group by is selected, this indicates the call sign belongs to more than one group. Hovering over the call sign will display the other groups to which the call sign belongs:
  8. The Filter menu can be displayed or hidden on the right side and allows for filtering. NOTE: Selecting/deselecting all/none button shall select/deselect the entire list.
  9. List view will show a list of all requests with the details. NOTE: This view is sortable using the column headings
  10. There is a search feature for current, future, and past requests. Search can be cleared by clicking the “x”.
  7. The Time View will indicate if a request goes past the assigned asset’s shift change. The time view ticket will show hash lines for the portion that happens after the shift end.
  8. Users are able to drag an unassigned request from the top to the call sign for assignment. NOTE: When dragging and dropping onto a call sign with multiple assets, user will be presented with a selection to determine which asset they want to assign.
  9. Asset, Call Sign, and Base out of service reasons show on the time view as a red bar, with a hover over showing the reason and the expected duration. Repeating OOS events will display repeating arrows on the red bar. NOTE: An OOS event with no end date/time, extends as a 2 hour time block into the future.
  10. Two rows will only appear on the time view ticket. To show more information, users can hover over a ticket to see more information.
  11. Right clicking on patient/request in the 'Unassigned' area, users will have the option to sort assets by closest available
  Time View Setting Updates:

You now have the ability to customize what is shown on the time view ticket for both patients and requests(must have user group permission set to full access for these settings)
1. Time View Request Ticket: This expression dictates the text displayed on request tickets in the time view.
2. Time View Patient Ticket: This expression dictates the text displayed on patient tickets in the time view.
3. 1. NOTE: Each ticket will display the ticket number on the top line, the custom expression information will display on the second line. The second line default will be request or patient number, pickup, drop off, and the scheduled time.
4. Color expressions can be set to control the color of tickets in the time view
  1. Time View Coloring Expression: Dictates the color of request tickets in the time view
  2. Time View coloring expression (Patient): Dictates the color of the patient tickets in the time view
5. The color of the status bar of requests and patients can be customized using two settings:
  1. Time View Status Column Coloring Expression : Dictates the color on the left side of request tickets in the time view
  2. Time View Status Column Coloring Expression(Patient): Dictates the color on the left side of patient tickets in the time view
6. Time view filtering for asset assignment is determined by the request capabilities setting. Filtering will occur on the drag of the ticket from the unassigned area to the call sign rows. NOTE: If the request is far enough in the future(more than 12 hours) it is considered Long Term Planning and filtering will use call sign capabilities, set up in Settings>Call Signs/Pager Assignments.
  1. For users using advanced scheduling utility, long term planning filtering will depend on the advanced scheduling utility setting seen here(from advance scheduling utility setup). If the request is farther in the future than the value of this setting, call sign capabilities will be used for filtering:

A new setting has been added called Estimated time (minutes) spent on ground for patient.

When set, this expression determines the expected amount of time spent on ground (in minutes) for a patient leg that has not been assigned to a request. When unset, it defaults to 45 minutes.
The unassigned patient block on the time view will display the estimated air travel time along with the value from the new setting.
The request ticket blocks will be the estimated travel time with the estimated time on ground from the request setting: Estimated time(minutes) spent on ground
Time view request duration blocks will display based on the scheduled pick up time or drop off times from the patient leg when applicable.
1. Scheduled Pickup Time: this time will populate in the waypoint dialog as the scheduled arrival time at the corresponding patient pick up waypoint
2. Scheduled Dropoff Time: this time will populate in the waypoint dialog as the scheduled arrival time at the corresponding patient drop off waypoint
