Flight status mapping table - REMARKS translations

Flight statuses in our Simpleway Airport CX system are called "Remarks", and they come straight from your real-time flight data feed (AODB).

To make those statuses easy for passengers to read on FIDS (Flight Information Display System), we add custom translations that replace some of the default ones supplied by the feed provider. If you want a different wording for a remark, this tutorial shows you how to change it.

The Remarks tab gives you an overview of every flight remark value: the raw value in the "Name" column, exactly as it arrives from the AODB, and its passenger-facing wording in the "Name translation" column.

When modifying flight data on the Flight editor tab the Remarks dropdown values first display the name of the remark and then the name translation in parentheses, but it is the name translations of remarks that are displayed on the FIDS. 

 

Name translations can be default (a duplicate of the name received from the AODB provider) or custom (added by an administrator to override the default). So on the Remarks tab, the "Name" and "Name translation" columns match when a remark still uses its default translation, and differ once you give it a custom one.

On the Translations tab, default translations of remarks are indicated by a red circle in the override column and cannot be deleted or modified, while custom translations are indicated by a green circle and can be modified and deleted. 

The following table shows our custom translations of remarks:

TUTORIAL STEPS:

Modifying custom remark translations

A) Translations tab Open the Translations tab. Click the filter icon for the TYPE column, select the remark check box, and click Apply.
B) Custom remark translations Custom remark translations are indicated by green circles in the OVERRIDE column. These will be the ones we specified earlier in the table. Click a custom remark translation item to edit it.
C) Edit remark Only remark translations with a green override status are editable. Enter the appropriate translation in the available language fields. Click the Save button to confirm changes. Note: If you delete custom remarks translations with green override status, it will revert to the corresponding translation marked with red override status obtained from the flight data feed.
D) Repeat the previous steps to change any necessary custom remark translations.

Creating custom translations from default translations

A) Default remark translations Default remark translations are indicated by red circles in the OVERRIDE column. These are integrated from the flight data feed. Click a default remark translation item to override it.
B) View remark page Default remark translations with red override status are not editable. Click the Override button. Note: If you delete a default remarks translation with a red override status, it will be recreated again as soon as the remark is retrieved from the flight data feed.
C) New item page A new editable custom remark translation is created, with fields pre-filled with values from the overridden item. Enter the appropriate translation in the available language fields. Click the Save button to confirm changes.
D) Repeat the previous steps to create any new custom remark translations.
