In this guide, we will look at the functionality tied to each of these tabs.

Property Description
Basic Field Upload Use this property to accept (or ignore) In-Duty Rest and Partial augmentation properties. If this property is checked, partial augmentation and in-duty rest values will be ignored.
Upload Error Handling Use this dropdown to select the action SAFE application must take if the upload has errors. Choose either:
  • Fail schedules with one or more invalid duty to remove aircrew members with invalid duty data but proceed to upload the remaining duty information in the roster for aircrew members with valid data.
  • Fail entire roster if any duty is invalid to discard the entire upload.
  • Omit duties that are invalid and allow the rest of the schedule to be uploaded. (not recommended) to discard the invalid duties and proceed to upload all valid duties. Since fatigue is cumulative, choosing this option will result in analytical errors from not considering the fatigue created by the missing duty.
  • Omit duties that are invalid and thereafter. (not recommended) to upload only those duty data preceding any invalid duty entry. If there is an invalid duty data in your roster, choosing this option means the SAFE application will have incomplete picture of the duty data, resulting in analytical errors.

Property Description
Date Range to Purge Use this dropdown to delete roster analysis that are past a certain age. You can choose from different time intervals, such as 1 day, 2 days, 30 days, 60 days, or 365 days. Analyses that are older than the selected value will be removed from the application by an automatic process that runs at night. You can turn this functionality off by choosing the Off option from the dropdown.
User's Data to Purge (Optional) Use this property to delete only the uploads of specific user(s).

  • Type the email address of each user whose upload you want auto-deleted.
  • Separate the email addresses using a comma, if you are specifying more than one user.
  • This setting will work only if the Date Range to Purge is not disabled.

Property Description
Duties in system The total number of duties held by this instance of the application.
Limit The total number of duties this instance of the application can hold. If you want to increase this limit, contact us at info@frmsc.com.

If the number of duties in this instance has reached the instance limit, you will not be able to process new duties. You could delete old duties or archive them as a workaround, if you would like to continue processing new duties without increasing the instance limit. However, archived duties can't be analysed or processed.

This section lets you configure the preferred start and the end times of main sleeps for each country. This configuration should usually be based on the sleep times of a normal resident of the country. If any country is unconfigured, the default sleep start time will be midnight and default sleep end time will be 08:00.

Property Description
Country Use this dropdown to select the country, which you want to configure the sleep times for. There is no limit on the number of countries you can configure. However, if the sleep time is already configured for the selected country, you can't edit it. You must delete the configuration and add the configuration with new settings.
Sleep Start Use this dropdown to select the default sleep start time for the selected country.
Sleep End Use this dropdown to select the default sleep end time for the selected country.

This section also features two buttons.
