The Needed List entry screen is easy to use and consists of three entry areas for criteria
They are LIST
TYPE OPERATOR
and AIRCRAFT TYPE
Clicking on ADD/EDIT
will allow you to put in a category, Selecting OK
will let you put in a description for this category. Click on save and your new
entry will appear in the categories list. Categories cannot be deleted once
entered, although the description can be edited.
Whatever operators and Aircraft types you enter against the category will
be produced in your report.
OPERATOR: type in BAW
AIRCRAFT TYPE:
type in 7 (This widens the search for all Aircraft types beginning with 7 i.e.:
707,717,727,737,747 & 777)
Click on the ADD
button and it will enter it into the Operator List database.
Typing in the above example will give you all types of Boeing aircraft of
British Airways that you have not yet seen. If you had left the Aircraft Type
blank it would have given you the full fleet of BAW aircraft that you still need
to see.
Repeating this operation against that particular category with different
airline codes and aircraft compiles criteria to produce a multiple Airline needs
report.
If you select an item in the categories database, the operator list will
change to display the data that you have entered against that particular
category, and that is what will be produced in the report.
Click on the scroll button and it will generate a screen preview of
registrations aircraft types and operators in that category. Output can also be
sent to PRINTER & FILE.
You can tailor your “Needs List” categories to suit yourself. The
examples that I have supplied are to help you on your way. You can add and
remove data from the operator list as you wish.
Text file output generates a text file that can be imported into
Microsoft Word or Publisher to create a more professional document.
