Getting Started

Quick Start

Get from an empty account to a working dashboard and alert setup in one session.

Follow these steps to set up your first working dashboard and alerts.

1. Create a dashboard

Open All dashboards and create a new dashboard. Name it after the operational purpose:

  • Northern alternates
  • Morning wave departures
  • Network fuel watch

You will likely create more than one dashboard over time. Each should serve one monitoring job.

2. Add your locations

Add the airports or FIRs that belong together operationally. If locations need different time windows or filters, put them in separate dashboards.

3. Set the time mode

Choose the time mode that matches how you monitor:

ModeUse when
AbsoluteYou need a fixed briefing window (e.g. a specific departure bank)
RelativeYou need a rolling window (e.g. "next 6 hours")
DailyYou have a recurring window that repeats each day (e.g. 04:00 to 10:00 UTC)
All activeYou want every currently active NOTAM regardless of timing

4. Add filters

Start with global filters that apply across the whole dashboard:

  • Category filters to narrow by NOTAM domain (aerodrome, airspace, navigation).
  • Affected element filters to narrow by operational consequence (closed runway, unavailable fuel, restricted aerodrome).

Only add airport-specific overrides later, after you see where the global baseline is too broad or too narrow.

5. Choose a view

  • Card view for airport-by-airport review with visual separation.
  • List view for dense scanning with less horizontal space.
  • Bulk view for all active NOTAMs in one stream across tracked locations.

6. Set up alerts for urgent conditions

Open Alerts and create alerts for conditions that should reach the inbox without waiting for manual review:

  • Closed or restricted runway
  • Fuel service outage
  • Restricted aerodrome
  • Critical navaid outage at primary locations

If a condition does not justify an email, keep it in the dashboard.
