Skyline Update
What’s Happening at Skyline: 3/13/2023
Accumulator – Flight and Duty Times
Our flight and duty time tracking software went into production in December. Since that time we have received numerous requests for enhancements, bug fixes, as well as new reports. We are implementing these changes as they are received. Since the initial launch date there have 5 major releases of the accumulator. Some of the new functionality includes:
The ability to switch a flight crew member between different rule sets
Tracking and displaying time left on a day by day basis
What’s New at Skyline:
We are always developing Skyline to meet the needs of our clients. A full list of release notes may be found at http://support.skyres.ca/mediawiki/index.php?title=Release_Notes:_Development An example of something that has recently been developed is:
Integration with Netsuite
Along with a number of other accounting packages, Skyline now has the ability to integrate with Netsuite. Netsuite is an accounting program that is owned by Oracle and is now in place with one of our clients.
Enhanced Cargo Scanning Functions
In the past, the cargo scanning tool was limited to loading and offloading freight. This program has been expanded significantly. The cargo scanner tool may now be used to record the pickup of cargo. This also includes capturing a digital image of the recipient’s signature which is automatically attached to the airwaybill.
Recording of carry on baggage
The tool that is used to record passenger baggage has been expanded to allow for also recording carry on baggage. The inclusion of the carry on baggage weight into the gross weight of the aircraft will depend on the cars type of the aircraft.
Past Features
It happens too often that a client will let me know that they are struggling with a problem that Skyline already had a solution for. The client simply was not aware of the feature. I would like to highlight a few previously developed features that you may not be aware of:
Custom stats portals
It is possible to expose different statistical reports to different groups of users. Not all users need to see all available reports. It is possible to now add a report to the stats portal and make it visible to only a select group of user accounts.
