    Article summary

    In this tutorial, we will add flight destinations, gate numbers, carriers, etc., to your system.

    Using the tabs in the Assets section in the left-hand menu bar, you can manage your:

    • Airports - names and IATA and ICAO codes of destination and origin airports,
    • Gates,
    • Belts,
    • Carriers,
    • Check-ins.

    Additional assets for your system can be defined in the Custom fields tab to create your fields. For example, you can create a custom field to track the manufacturer of your displays.

    Note
    Using the built-in flight data feed, we are populating as many asset values as possible. Often, the flight data feed does not contain complete data - in this situation, you need to add the values (e.g., Belt codes) by hand using the functionality described in this tutorial.


    Topics covered:
    Assets - Airports, Carriers, Check-ins, Gates, Belts and Custom fields

    TUTORIAL STEPS:

    1. Under New Item, fill in the new Gate attributes, only the Name field is mandatory.
    2. Once done, click on Save in the lower right-hand corner.

      Note: Now, you can assign this value to your displays on the Displays tab or assign a flight to your newly added Gate.


    C) To create a new belt, check-in counter, etc. Repeat these steps in the respective tab of the Assets section. 

    D) To categorize your screens or add any other attributes, use Custom Fields. Here you can create a new field for your displays with your custom values.

    1. Under Assets on the left-hand menu, click on Assets, open the Custom Fields tab.
    2. Click on the New Custom Field button in the lower right-hand corner.
    E) Configure your new Custom Field.

    2. Under the Values section, create your list of values for the new custom fields. Click on the green confirm icon to add a value.
    3. Once done, click on Save in the lower right-hand corner.


    Note: All your new custom fields are automatically visible on your displays in the Asset values part.

    F) Now, you have to assign the required asset value to your displays and use the field in your template designs. See tutorial Connect and configure DISPLAYS of the Simpleway CX Quickstart Guide how to do it.
