A guide to understanding and utilizing the Timeline View on iOS devices, now available on both iPhones and iPads.
Introduction to Timeline View for iOS Devices
The Timeline View, a key feature in the FL3XX Sales app, enhances scheduling and operational visibility by providing a dynamic, interactive layout. Previously available only on iPhones in landscape mode, the Timeline View is now supported on iPads, delivering a seamless and consistent experience across all iOS devices.
Timeline Features
Users can now enjoy the Timeline View on iPhones and iPads with the following features:
- Landscape and Portrait Support: The Timeline View dynamically adjusts to both portrait and landscape orientations on iPads and iPhones. When the device is rotated to landscape mode, the Timeline View is displayed for the Sales app.
- Aircraft and Flight Display: The Timeline View displays all aircraft and corresponding flights. Users can switch between Day and Week views for different levels of detail.
- Flight Details: Clicking on a flight opens a detailed view showing the basic itinerary and includes a Close button to exit the flight view. You can tap on all event types (notes, maintenance, etc.) and in a popup window we will show you the basic details.
- Focused Aircraft View: If the user is working on a specific booking or quote, turning the iPad to landscape mode will display only the Aircraft that you have in the booking on the Timeline View. Users can then toggle the Show All option to see all aircraft.
- Optimized Layout for Larger Screens: The interface has been tailored to leverage the iPad’s larger screen, ensuring a clear, professional layout without compromising usability.
- Smooth Touch Interactions: Gesture support and touch responsiveness have been enhanced for the iPad experience, ensuring ease of navigation and control.
