Air Maestro allows you to customise the shift codes for each rostered day, depending on your requirements. For example, if you have created a ‘Day’ shift code with a start time of 0730-1700, but you require the rostered user to start the shift later on that day, you can customise the start time and enter a comment.

Step-by-step guide

  1. Select  Operations >  Roster. The Online Roster screen is displayed in a new window.

  2. Click Expand [] for the required base location and department.

  3. Select the Query tool [] in the Tools pane.



  4. Click the required shift in the Calendar pane. The dialog box detailing the work practice and shift time is displayed.

  5. Click [Change], to change the default work practice for the shift.



  6. Select the required work practice from the Work Practice drop-down list.

  7. Click [Apply]. The work practice is updated for the current shift.



  8. Click the rostered shift below the Ros. Text. The Edit Duty Period pane is displayed.



  9. Adjust the duty, shift and flight times as required.

  10. Enter the reason for the shift change or any special conditions in the Note field.



  12. Click [Update]. The rostered shift time is adjusted in the Ros. Column.

  13. Click [X] to close the dialog box. In the Calendar pane the shift code is displayed with a coloured triangle in the top right corner. The triangle indicates that the item contains custom data and a note.


  • If you update any shift times or include notes for any shift code, these changes are highlighted to the user when they view My Profile > My Roster in the Changed Duty Periods and Notes panes.
