1. INTRODUCTION
Dolphin AIS, Airport Information System, is IKUSI's public information system for airport environments, and is
part of the DOLPHIN solution.
It allows all flights of an airport and their details to be managed, such as airport destinations, airlines,
associated resources (check-in desks, boarding gates, waiting rooms, baggage reclaim belts), observations
about the flight, PA announcements and automation of schedules for their different resources.
It also includes the following modules:
 Module which allows all the system's devices to be administered, configured, supervised and
managed.
 Content management module, either advertising or for FIDS.
 User and role management module.
Dolphin has a multiuser, multi-language graphical web interface, based on a hierarchy of user profiles, and
also provides user-friendly tools to display the content straightforwardly and dynamically.

2. PURPOSE OF THE GUIDE
The purpose of this guide is to present the Dolphin AIS graphic interface, outlining the functions and
specifications of each area and, above all, allowing the user to get a feel for the environment.
The aim is to train users in all areas of the interface, both in understanding basic concepts such as accessing
the application and moving around the different areas, and also in advanced topics like managing user
privileges, creating and managing flights, personalised filters and managing content and resources.
The overall aim is to provide a specific, in-depth overview of the Dolphin AIS product.

4. INITIAL STEPS
These initial steps intend to guide the user through a series of basic concepts about Dolphin AIS.
Dolphin AIS is a web application that requires a computer with access to the local network and a web
browser; a list of supported browsers is shown below.
4.1 SUPPORTED BROWSERS
The application is compatible with the following browsers:
 Internet Explorer 11
 Mozilla Firefox 55 or higher
 Google Chrome 61 or higher
The chosen browser must have JavaScript enabled, otherwise many of the application's features will not work.
Moreover, it must not have ad-blocking add-ons enabled.
4.2 ACCESSING THE APPLICATION
The application is accessed by opening a browser and entering the application's URL, structured as follows:
http://nombre_servidor/dolphin
Where ‘name_server’ is shown, enter the IP address or the name of the Dolphin AIS server. Image 4.2.1, for
example, uses the server's IP address.
Image 4.2.1
After entering the URL, the application's main welcome screen will be displayed in order to validate users. If
the page does not load correctly, check connection to the local network and refresh or press the <F5> key.

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
4.3 INTERFACE LAYOUT
The Dolphin AIS is divided into 3 areas, as can be seen in image 4.3.1. The application's header is in the top
section which, although it is dynamic content, is seen statically throughout the application by each of the
modules. The application's central section or body is dynamic content and changes as the programme is
interacted with; and finally the bottom area, where the name of the solution and the version are shown.
Image 4.3.1
4.4 DESCRIPTION OF THE HEADER
The header is used to situate the user within the application and to navigate through the different content
offered. It is divided into 8 main areas as shown in image 4.4.1.
Image 4.4.1
 Zone 1: Shows the logo for the solution, for access to the starting menu from any part of the
application by simply clicking on it.

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
 Zone 2: This space is generated when the user logs in, displaying options in accordance with his or
her privileges. These options allow the user to navigate through the different blocks in the application.
The following blocks can be found:
 Home: access to the application's start menu.
 Operation: access to real-time and seasonal flights editors, resource management and content
management to present information on flights. This option can be used to view and manage all
available flights and manage airports, airlines, observations or other flight-related configurations;
moreover, there is access to the resource chronology charts: a series of charts to show the
location of the resources in a straightforward manner, and to interact by changing their
configuration in real time; and finally, the configuration of all the flight information to be displayed
on the information system’s devices.
 Contents: access to the content management panel in the devices. This is the area where the
required resources (images and videos) are uploaded to the server in order to manage
presentation by the devices. Ads can be generated, programmed by different channels, and
broadcast on the different devices.
 Devices: access to the device management panel. This shows all the airport's FIDS devices in a
tree structure and in a map, and allows them to be managed both locally and remotely.
 Users: access to the user management panel. A panel where all system users and their
properties are displayed. These users and their profiles can also be managed.
 Zone 3: The identifier for the user connected to the application is shown, or, failing this, the option to
leave the system.
 Zone 4: Shows the status of the Dolphin FIDS server connection to the AODB server. If connection is
correct, the message shown in image 4.4.1. is displayed. If, on the other hand, there is a problem with
the connection, image 4.4.3. will be displayed.

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
Image 4.4.3
 Zone 5: This is the flight error alerts display, called "Flight Conflicts". The header shows the name
next to the number of errors that occurred when inserting, and which have not been corrected.
Selecting this option displays the flight error management interface shown in the image below.
Image 4.4.4.1
The list of errors is displayed along with a menu at the bottom of the window, in order to search for
and select alerts. These are generated for both daily and seasonal flights.
The following is shown for each alert: a header containing the date and time at which the error
occurred, the operation that caused it (add, change or delete) and a general description of the error;
the flight identifier with its code and scheduled time; and a third line specifying the source of the error.
Image 4.4.4.2

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
Moreover, the right-hand part of each alert indicates whether the error has been resolved or not (by
clicking on the checkbox). This makes the top right icon different:
The total number of errors is indicated to the right of each icon.
The menu in the bottom of the window shows:
Image 4.4.4.3
1. Shows the date and time of the last alerts interface update for the validated user.
2. Icon indicating whether the alerts interface should be refreshed. The icon disappears once refreshed.
3. The total errors of the selection is displayed.
4. All errors, both corrected and pending correction, can be seen by simply clicking on this checkbox. If
enabled, they will all be displayed; if disabled, only those which are not corrected will be displayed.
5. Allows the time range for displaying the alerts to be selected.
6. Allows specific searches for alerts by inserting the content to be searched.
 Zone 6: Allows quick, direct access to certain areas of the application: manage devices, maps, users
and roles, query logs, and schedule automatic on and off times for monitors. The menu presented for
access is as follows:

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
Image 4.4.4.4
 Zone 7: User guide for the application. The question mark icon will always be visible from the
application's header. Clicking on the question mark icon opens a new window showing the online user
guide. The language will match whatever is being displayed by the application at this moment.
 Zone 8: Language choice. The language of the whole application can be changed by clicking on the
different languages shown in zone 8. If a user has logged in, this language is stored in the user
preferences. The selected language will therefore be the one stored in the user preferences the next
time the user logs in.

5. USER LOGIN
The Dolphin AIS application can only be accessed if logged in. Once the URL's application has been entered
(see section 4.2), the login panel is displayed for users to log in. See image 5.0.1.
Image 5.0.1
5.1 LOGIN PANEL
This consists of a form to enter a valid user and a password.
If an incorrect user is entered, an alert such as the one shown in image 5.1.1 is displayed; note that name and
password are case sensitive.
Image 5.1.1

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
Once the user and password have been entered correctly, the user accesses the main Dolphin FIDS
interface, as shown in image 5.1.2.
This new panel shows the content the user can access in the application's different blocks, in accordance with
his or her profile and privileges. Loading this page also updates the application's header, showing access to
the different contents.
Image 5.1.2
See point 4.4., section 2, of the guide for more information on the different contents of the application.

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
6. MANAGING USERS AND PROFILES
User and profile management is accessed from the 'User' option in the main menu. (See image 5.1.2).
Once this option has been selected, user management is accessed directly by default.
These options can also be accessed through the application's header. Users and roles can be managed by
clicking on 'Users' in the top menu.
Image 6.0.1
6.1 MANAGING USERS
In addition to the different accesses indicated above, user management is also accessed from the
configuration icon , located in the application's header.
In user management, all Dolphin FIDS system users can be viewed in a table showing the username with
their personal details, status, assigned role, and whether they are blocked.
Whenever a user with user management privileges logs in, this screen shows, firstly, the create new user
button at the end of the table, and, secondly, the icon to the right of each of the records in the table.
Clicking on this icon will show the menu for user management.
Image 6.1.1

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
The options in this menu are: show, edit, change block and delete. To close the menu, click on the X icon in
the top right corner.
The user list is displayed as follows:
Image 6.1.2
6.1.1 NEW USER
The new user form is accessed by first clicking on the 'New user' button, which will open up a panel with the
details to be completed. At least the details marked with an asterisk (*) must be completed, since they are
mandatory. Those not marked with an asterisk are optional.
Image 6.1.1.1 shows the new user form with the field validation system active.

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
Image 6.1.1.1
When the fields in a form are red, it is an INVALID form.
The new user is created by completing all the required details in the form, assigning a role and clicking on the
'Save User' button. Since role assignment is not a mandatory field, the system allows the user to be created
and subsequently assigned a role from the user table.
Click on the 'Cancel' button if you do not wish to create a user. On the other hand, the 'Undo' button can be
used to delete all the details or changes previously inserted in the form.
6.1.2 CHANGE USER
To change a user, simply select the 'Edit' option from the menu which is displayed when clicking on the
icon shown to the right of each user record. The create user panel will open; in this case the user details in the
form appear, but without the references to the password.

Dolphin AIS

Image 6.1.2.1
All details which have been changed should be saved by clicking on the 'Save User' button.
Click on the 'Cancel' button if you do not wish to change the user, or click on the 'Undo' button to go back to
the starting point.
6.1.3 DELETE USER
A profile with privileges is required in order to delete a user. Users with management privileges can delete
users using the 'Delete' option in the menu which is displayed by clicking on the icon to the right of each
record of the user table, as shown in image 6.1.2.
Another option to delete a user is by clicking on the checkbox displayed to the left of the user record and then
selecting the 'Delete' option from the menu which is displayed when clicking on the same icon as above, only
in this case it is located to the left of the user table header. The latter option must be used to delete several
users at the same time, having first selected multiple users using the checkboxes.
Image 6.1.3.1

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
In either case, for security reasons the user is asked for confirmation whenever a user is deleted, as shown in
image 6.1.3.2. This security confirmation alerts the user that proceeding will delete the selected user from the
database. If everything is correct, complete the delete user transaction by clicking on the 'Yes' button,
otherwise click on the 'No' button.
Image 6.1.3.2
Logged-in users
will be logged out after a short while if deleted.
6.1.4 SHOW USER
Since the user table does not show all user details, the 'Show' option in the menu (displayed when clicking on
the icon to the right of each record) can be used to access all user details. Details cannot be updated from
this panel, which is view-only. Finish by clicking on the 'Accept' button. The password field cannot be viewed
in any case.

6.1.5 BLOCKING USERS
Users can be blocked or unblocked by other users with the necessary privileges, but users cannot block or
unblock themselves.
A user who is blocked will not be able to access the application.
There are two ways to block a user: firstly, using the 'Toggle Block' option in the menu shown when clicking
on the icon to the right of the user record to be unblocked; secondly, using the ‘Block' option (as
appropriate) in the menu shown when clicking on the same icon, which in this case is located to the left of the
user table header. The latter option must be used to block/unblock several users at the same time, having first
selected multiple users using the checkboxes.
The following image shows how one of the users is blocked. This is indicated in each user's status field.
Image 6.1.5.1
6.1.6 USER STATUS
Users may have different statuses, depending on registration. Although the system could allow users to self-
register, this function is disabled for control and security reasons.
The different user statuses are as follows:
Validated / Released: This is a self-registered user who was subsequently validated by an administrator or
a user with the relevant privileges.
Validated / Blocked: This is a self-registered user who was subsequently blocked by the administrator or a
user with the relevant privileges. This status does not allow the application to be logged into.
Registered: This is a self-registered user who is pending validation and unblocking. This type of status
must be reviewed by a user with administrator privileges.
Created / Released: This is a user created by the administrator or by another user with the relevant
privileges. This user can access the application with the assigned role.

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
Created / Blocked: This is a user created by the administrator or by another user with the relevant
privileges. This user cannot access the application with the assigned role because he or she has been
blocked.
In short, any user that is self-registered must be controlled and managed by a user with administrator
privileges to access the system. The statuses a self-registered user will pass through are therefore as follows:
Registered -> Validated / Blocked -> Validated / Released

.
On the other hand, a user created by another user with administrator privileges is automatically assigned
"Created / Unblocked" status.
6.2 MANAGING ROLES
Roles are managed using the second option which is displayed when clicking on the 'Users' option in the main
menu, provided the user has the necessary privileges. Another possible access is using the configuration icon
, located in the application's header.
Roles are a series of privileges which define the actions users can carry out, or the way they can interact with
the Dolphin FIDS application.
A user can have more than one role, and a role can also be assigned to more than one user. The idea is to
define a series of roles with specific actions in accordance with users' different functions.
Clicking on the 'Roles' option must open the role management panel, as shown in the following image.
Image 6.2.1

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
This panel is similar to the user management panel. The table with all the generated roles is displayed, with
the 'New role' button at the end to create new roles. For each role, the information and privileges can be seen
in the form which is displayed by choosing the option from the drop-down menu when clicking on the icon
to the right of the record for each role, and to the left of the table header. In the case of the latter, actions for
more than one role can be carried out at the same time when selected in advance.

7. OPERATION - FLIGHTS
The 'Operation' option in the main menu (see image 5.1.2) provides access to all the flight management
interfaces, diagrams for managing airport resource allocations and management of information content related
to flight details.
In turn, the 'Operation' option in the main menu gives access to a second-level menu with the flight options,
airport resources and FIDS content.
Image 7.0.1
The Dolphin FIDS flights editor is a tool designed for straightforward, efficient management of flight
information. It incorporates multiple use options, including: the option to add, change and delete different
details for flights operating in real time; schedule seasonal flights; select public address messages for
automatic broadcast; manage flight information, e.g. airlines, airports, observations, resources (gates, belts
and check-in desks), etc.
There are also tools to generate flight filters, give out PA announcements, and even generate reports on the
flights displayed in the table.
The Flight editor can be accessed from the 'Operation' option in the main menu followed by the 'Flights' option
in the next menu. (See image 7.0.1).
Clicking on this option will display an efficient, intuitive graphical user interface, which, by default, will be the
one that allows flights to be managed in real time. However, the tabs displayed just below the main menu, to
the left, can be used to choose between managing flights in real time (daily flights) or by season (seasonal
flights).

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
Image 7.0.2
The selected tab is displayed in dark blue, while the other one is white. As indicated previously, by default
clicking on the 'Flights' option displays the interface for managing flights in real time.
The flight management graphic interface is the same for real-time and seasonal flights. The differences are in
their options.
7.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE INTERFACE
Image 7.1.1

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
The user interface is divided into the three large blocks shown in image 7.1.1.
The first block contains the menu bar, which provides quick access to the different sections of the flight editor
(see description in point 7.1.1.1).
The flights table is in block number two. This is a dynamic, interactive table, which shows the airport's flight list
in real time (description in point 7.1.1.2).
Finally, the third block contains a message console for everything registered in the editor (see description in
section 7.1.1.7), as well as an online help.
7.1.1 MAIN COMPONENTS
7.1.1.1 MENU BAR
The menu bar (image 7.1.1.1.1) is used to quickly and straightforwardly access all the editor's functions. It is
the main difference between managing daily (real time) and seasonal flights.
Daily flights can be managed using this menu bar:
Image 7.1.1.1.1
There is another menu bar for managing seasonal flights, which, although it has less options, has the same
functions as for managing daily flights.
Image 7.1.1.1.2
Details of each option in the menu bar:
/  New flight enabled and disabled icon. The icon displayed will depend on the validated user's
privileges. Users with access to this section can create new flights using an intuitive form. See point 7.2 for
more information.
/  New flight enabled and disabled icon to insert flights from an existing one. The icon displayed will
depend on the validated user's privileges. Users with access to this section can create new flights after first
selecting one in the table, meaning the form will initially have the details for the selected flight.

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
/  Icon to change the details for a flight selected in the table. If the user has flight editing privileges,
the icon will become blue when one of them is selected in the table. Clicking on it accesses a form where all
the fields of a flight can be edited, along with its stopovers and codeshare flights. See point 7.3 for more
information.
/  Save changes made in the table. All changes made to the flight table should be saved by clicking
on this icon. The icon will be displayed in grey when there are no details to save.
 Icon to access the print view. From here, a new screen can be accessed to easily print different flight
lists.
 Delete selected flights from the table. Clicking on this icon opens a dialogue box, to confirm whether to
delete the flights selected in the table. A message is displayed if there are no flights selected.
 Update flight table. Straightforward way to manually refresh the flight table's values.
/  Show or hide the flight information panel (bottom of image 7.1.1.1.3). A panel is displayed to
quickly view information on all the flight fields.
Image 7.1.1.1.3

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
/  Show and hide the codeshare flights. If the hide codeshare flights icon is enabled, only the main
codeshare flights will be shown in the flight table.
/  Enable or disable viewing of flights with a field which has been locked manually by the user using
the editor. If this filter is enabled, only the flights with a field which has been changed manually from the editor
are selected. Showing this type of filter is very useful when FIDS is connected to AODB and the details are
mainly updated automatically from this system.
/  Enable or disable viewing of locked fields for the flights in the table. Locked fields are flight details
which have been changed manually using the editor or the rules manager. Moreover, the two types of
changes are shown in different colours so the user can easily see where the change comes from. Changes
made by the user will be displayed in fuchsia pink, while those made by the rules manager are orange.
The fields will not be updated from AODB when locked.
 A drop-down menu with two options is shown when hovering over this icon:
1- Unlock the fields of the selected flights

2- Unlock all fields of all flights.
Since locked fields cannot be updated from the AODB, this utility is used to unlock those fields which are to be
changed from the AODB.
/  Show or hide highlighted fields. This option applies when the 'Highlighting' functionality is enabled.
In this case, a series of fields are defined in order to highlight their changes. If the highlighted fields are
displayed, this icon will be displayed in the field when any of them are changed. This mark will not be
displayed when the highlighted fields are hidden.
 A drop-down menu with two options is shown when hovering over this icon:
1- Disable the highlighted fields of the selected flights.

2- Disable the highlighted fields of all flights.
 Icon to send public address messages to the public address server. Clicking on it will open a panel to
manage the different PA announcements for the airport and flights. See point 7.5 for more information.
 Flight management details configuration and preferences icon. This icon accesses the flight editor's
settings panel, which can be used to manage the system's airports, airlines, terminals, observations, internal
observations, resources, schedules and flight table configuration. All these sections require the necessary
privileges. See point 7.9 for more information.
 Save changes in the current filter. Click on this icon to validate any changes made to a user filter. The
filter will therefore be up-to-date the next time the flight editor is accessed. See point 7.8.2 for more details.

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
 Create a new user filter. Clicking on this icon opens a dialogue box to enter the new filter name. A new
filter is generated once accepted. See point 7.8.1 for more details.
 Delete user filter. This icon can be used to delete the selected filter. See point 7.8.3 for more details.
7.1.1.2 FLIGHT TABLE
If the 'daily flights' tab is selected, the flight table shows the list of airport flights in real time, and the results
can be filtered using a series of specific filters.
However, if the 'seasonal flights' tab is selected, the flight table displays the list of flights by season without the
option of applying specific filters to the results list.
In both cases, it is an interactive table to edit the details by simply double-clicking, provided they are
modifiable fields and the user has the necessary privileges.
The number of flights to be presented in the table is dynamic and configurable by the user in real time,
selecting the number of records to be displayed in the top left part of the table.
Image 7.1.1.2.0
Each column in the table represents a different data type for the flight. Below is the list and definition of all
possible columns displayed in the daily flights:

Image 7.1.1.5.4
The possible alerts which make up this section include the alert in image 7.1.1.5.5 when trying to change any
of the secondary flight values, since these are directly related to the main flight. They can only be changed if
the value of the main flight is changed.

Save details. When using editing components, the details

update their status to: changed but not yet saved.
This is done by clicking on the table's save button.
7.1.1.6 CONTEXT MENU
The flight table has a context or short-cut menu that is displayed by hovering over it and right-clicking.
This menu offers the same functionality, but with fewer options than the main menu bar, as explained in
section 7.1.1.1 'Menu bar'.
There are two possible versions of this menu. The first version is by right-clicking on the table without any
flights selected, displaying a menu such as the one in image 7.1.1.6.1.

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
Image 7.1.1.6.1
The second version of this menu is having one or more than one flight selected. This menu will be somewhat
more complete than without selected flights, since some functions are flight-specific. See image 7.1.1.6.2.
Image 7.1.1.6.2
These menus are similar to the seasons editor, the only differences being that they do not have options for
unlocking flights, disabling highlighted fields and the PA system.
7.1.1.7 NOTIFICATIONS
General flight notifications are displayed in this area, along with an online help which supplements the user
guide.
7.1.1.7.1 NOTIFICATIONS CONSOLE

The notifications console, as its name indicates, shows all flight table changes and notifications. In other
words, every time a flight is created, changed or deleted, these changes will be notified to all users connected
to Dolphin FIDS via this console. It only applies to the real-time flight option.

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
This is merely for information purposes, keeping users informed at all times of the changes made by other
users or changes coming from an AODB. See example in image 7.1.1.7.1.1.1.
Image 7.1.1.7.1.1
7.1.1.7.2 ONLINE HELP

The icon shown in the image below is found to the right of the notifications console, for access to the online
help.
Image 7.1.1.7.2.1
Clicking on this button will show the icon above the icons or areas which have online help, in order to answer user's
questions.
Image 7.1.1.7.2.2
7.1.1.7.3 UPDATING THE FLIGHT TABLE

The date and time of the last update made in the flight table is displayed just below the notification console
and online help. This allows the user to identify connection problems with systems that feed the FIDS, such as
the AODB.
Image 7.1.1.7.3.1
7.2 NEW FLIGHT
To enter a new flight manually, Dolphin FIDS has two options using the same create flight form, which can be
accessed via the main menu. Firstly, the icon accesses an empty form where the user can enter all the
details necessary to obtain a new flight; secondly, the icon, which, after selecting a flight in the flight table,
accesses the same form but with the flight details selected, meaning the user will change the details in order
to obtain a new flight.

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
Image 7.2.1
The create flight form is divided into 3 main areas: Main information for the flight, stopovers and additional
information. All these details are for a main flight, since the first flight will always be the main one. See point
7.2.3 to create secondary flights.
The minimum details required to create the flight are shown in the main top left window, and all restrictions of
each field must be met, as explained in point 7.2.1.
The bottom of the form has a checkbox for time control; when enabled, all date/time fields related to the
estimated time will be updated automatically. If it is not enabled, clicking on it shows an alert as can be seen
in image 7.2.2.

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
Image 7.2.2
Accepting this alert will update the times automatically relative to the estimated flight time. There is more
information on configuring time values in point 7.9.8.
Click on the save button in order to create the flight with the information entered. If any of the fields are red, it
means the details entered are not correct for this type of information. The error must be corrected, then
clicking on save again.
If everything is correct, the alert shown in image 7.3.3 is displayed and the flight appears immediately in the
main table.
Image 7.3.3
7.2.1 FIELD RESTRICTIONS

7.2.2 NEW STOPOVER
Stopovers are intermediate stops made by the flight between its origin and its destination. The form in the top
right section is used to manage these stopovers. See image 7.2.2.1.

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
Image 7.2.2.1
This section shows a list (initially empty) and 4 buttons: one to add new stopover, another to delete them, and
two others to sort the stopovers. The order, from top down, is used to define the sequence of stopovers, i.e.
the first stopover and successive ones.
To add a new stopover, complete the 'New stopover' box and click on the button; from this moment on,
the stopover will appear in the stopover list at the bottom. The text box where the stopover is inserted contains
an auto-complete component, as in the source/target field, which can be used to enter the name of the
stopover.
Finish by clicking on add , with the new stopover being added to the list. The process must be repeated in
order to enter more stopovers.
7.2.3 NEW SECONDARY FLIGHT
Secondary flights are flights operated by a company different to the one for the main flight. They are all part of
the codeshare flights. In other words, they are different flight codes for different airlines travelling in the same
aircraft at the same time. They are commercial agreements between airlines.
A secondary flight can be added in the new flight form by clicking on the 'New codeshare flight' button
displayed at the bottom, which provides access to a dialogue box to create the new codeshare flight.
In this dialogue box, as shown in image 7.2.3.1, select the secondary flight airline, enter the code and click on
the 'Accept' button.

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
Image 7.2.3.1
The alert shown in image 7.2.3.2 will be displayed whenever the main information has not been entered in the
main flight form, since it is necessary to first fill out the main flight details in order to create a codeshare flight.
Image 7.2.3.2
Once the secondary flight has been created, a new tab will be shown next to the main flight, along with its
airline and flight codes. As soon as the codeshare is created, all its fields will be identical to the main one,
except for the airline code and the flight code. From this moment on, changes can be made in all fields except
the shaded ones. These fields are not editable from a codeshare flight, although they can be edited from the
main flight.

Dolphin AIS

Image 7.2.3.3 shows an example of a main flight with codeshare flights.
Click on the save button to finish and validate the secondary flight, which will save the details for the different
flights shown in the different tabs.
7.2.4 LEAVE WITHOUT SAVING CHANGES
The user has the option to leave this form at any time without saving or creating a flight. This is done by
simply clicking outside the form panel or on the panel's icon (top right).

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
7.3 CHANGE FLIGHT
Dolphin FIDS offers users a way to edit a flight from the table. This form is the same as the one used to create
a flight, but with some additional functions.
To access this form, first select a flight from the table, which will make the flight change icon change from a
scale of grey to deep blue. Clicking on this icon will open the edit form with all the details of the selected flight,
including their respective secondary flights (if any). Image 7.3.1 shows an example of a main flight with its
secondary flights.
Image 7.3.1
Unlike the create flight form, this shows whether the flight fields are locked or not, i.e. whether the field has
been changed by an external system or by the user.

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
Locked fields cannot be changed using an editor other than Dolphin FIDS, such as an external AODB. This
system is used for security reasons, ensuring that any changes made from the editor take priority and cannot
be influenced from an uncontrolled external system.
The form shows the blocked fields with a closed padlock icon , and those which are not blocked with the
padlock open icon . Both symbols can be changed manually, since clicking on one of them changes the
status of its field from locked to unlocked and vice versa. It is not necessary to click on save to change the
status of the fields, as status will be kept when making the change. See point 7.6 for more information.
There are buttons in the bottom of the form to save, cancel the operation, create new codeshare flights or
delete both the main flight and its codeshare flights at the same time.
Once the necessary modifications have been made, click on the save button to confirm and validate the
details in the form.
If you do not wish to save the changes, click on the cancel button, click outside the form panel, or simply click
on the icon in the panel (top right). In this case, any changes made will require confirmation, as shown in
image 7.3.3, which alerts that there are details in the form which have not been saved and will be lost if exited.
Image 7.3.3
See point 7.2.1 for more information on validating the form and field restrictions. See point 7.2.2 to manage
stopovers and see point 7.2.3. to create secondary flights.
7.4 DELETE FLIGHT
There are two ways to delete flights from the Dolphin FIDS system: firstly, by accessing from the editor's main
menu, and secondly by accessing from the flight edit panel.
To delete one or more flights using the main menu option, first select the flights you want to delete from the
table and then click on the delete flights icon as shown in image 7.4.1.

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
Image 7.4.1
A confirmation dialogue will be displayed, listing the flights to be deleted. Once confirmation is accepted, the
flights will be deleted and the flight table will be updated without these flights.
The context menu (right-clicking on the table) and the delete option can also be used. The effect will be the
same as using the table's main menu.
Secondary flights will also be deleted when deleting a main flight.
Another option to delete a flight is to open the edit flight panel (see point 7.3) and use the button to delete the
main flight and all its codeshares.
In this case, if the main flight has secondary flights assigned to it (as seen in the different tabs in image
7.4.1.1), these will also be deleted.
7.4.1 DELETE SECONDARY FLIGHT
If, on the other hand, only a specific secondary flight is to be deleted, there are also two options.
Firstly, as with a main flight, by selecting the secondary flight in the flight table and deleting with the help of
the main menu or the context menu.
Secondly, using the flight edit panel. Secondary flights are deleted using the icon in each secondary flight
tab (see image 7.4.1.1).

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
Image 7.4.1.1
Clicking on the icon will display a confirmation dialogue for confirmation to delete this secondary flight (see
image 7.4.1.2).
Image 7.4.1.2
Once this alert has been accepted, the flight tab is deleted and no longer appears with the others.
Finally, confirm that the flight is to be deleted by clicking on the save option in the panel menu, saving all the
form details.
7.5 PA ANNOUNCEMENTS
There are two types of public address announcements: those for general information in the airport, and those
which are aimed at one or several specific flights.
The corresponding privileges are required in order to use the PA system. See privilege configuration
information in point 6.4.

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
7.5.1 GENERAL PA ANNOUNCEMENTS
The PA panel can be accessed by simply clicking on the PA icon in the main menu, without having any
flights selected in the main table. The panel will be as shown in image 7.5.1.1.
Image 7.5.1.1
Its operation is simple. Simply select the message from the list and click on the 'Play' button. The confirmation
message will be displayed if everything is correct.
The general PA system can also be accessed from the table's context menu by right-clicking.
7.5.2 FLIGHT PA ANNOUNCEMENTS
The flight PA system is for one or several flights, alerting of a delayed flight and the reason for the delay,
prompting passengers to start boarding the aircraft, etc.
The flight PA panel is accessed by selecting one or more flights from the main table and then clicking on the
PA icon . A panel will be displayed, as shown in image 7.5.2.1

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
Image 7.5.2.1
This panel is made up of a list of messages, one of which must be selected. There is also a disabled list with
the flights that will be affected by the message; depending on the message type selected, choose a reason or
cause for the message from the third list.
To finish, enter the minutes parameter if the selected message so requires, and then click on the 'Play' button
to broadcast the announcement. The confirmation message will be displayed if everything is correct.
The flight PA system can also be accessed from the table's context menu by selecting the flights from the
main table and right-clicking.

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
7.6 LOCK/UNLOCK FLIGHT
Locking fields affects all modifiable values that make up the flight. Whenever a flight is changed from the
Dolphin FIDS editor, these values are locked so that they cannot be changed from an external system, such
as an AODB, or from the rules manager.
Dolphin FIDS offers the user the option to lock fields that have not been changed, in order to ensure this value
will not be changed automatically. A field unlock system is also available to allow external systems to have
write-access.
All the locked fields in the table can be shown using the icon's main menu option. The locked values will be
displayed in the table, as in image 7.6.1.
Image 7.6.1
There are two types of lock. The first option is automatic and is carried out when there is a change in any flight
field, i.e. when making a change in a flight, in which case the changes made will be locked automatically so
they cannot be edited from an external system. The second option would be to lock the fields manually using
the flight edit menu (see point 7.3) and clicking on the lock icon for each field (image 7.6.2).
Image 7.6.2
There are three ways to unlock the fields of one or more flights. The first way is from the flight edit panel (point
7.3), by clicking on the field unlock icon to the right (see image 7.6.3). This first form allows the fields to be
unlocked one by one.

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
Image 7.6.3
The other two ways of unlocking are accessed from the main menu (see image 7.6.4) or from the context
menu (right-clicking on the main table) offered by Dolphin FIDS.
Image 7.6.4
Moreover, all fields of one or several flights can be unlocked. This is the first option offered by the drop-down
list in image 7.6.4. First select the flights to be unlocked in the main table, and then use this option. A
confirmation alert will be displayed to validate and finish the action.
Moreover, there is the option to unlock all the fields of all flights (option 2 in image 7.6.4) of the airport, those
displayed in the table and those that are not seen.
In both cases, confirmation is required to complete this action.
Irreversible: there is no way to automatically return

to initial status when the fields of a flight are unlocked. The only option is manual locking.
7.7 PRINT VIEW
Print view is used to extract reports from the data shown in the flight table. In Dolphin FIDS, this view can be
used to extract lists of flights from the table.

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
This is done by clicking on the icon in the main menu, which will load the print view with a filtered list of
flights. The filter used is the same as the filter used in the main table.
Image 7.7.1 shows an example of a list of flights with the 'International Arrivals' filter and a limit of 10 records.
The filter used can be changed by another user (see point 7.8.1 to create filters), as can the number of
records have displayed.
Image 7.7.1
Each column has a checkbox indicating whether it will be shown in the flight report. The initial status of each
column will depend on the column configuration (point 7.9.10) assigned to the user in the flight table; however,
simply clicking on the checkboxes in each column will change status from visible to non-visible and vice versa.
The columns which will not be shown in the report are shaded more darkly.
Clicking on the printer icon will open the corresponding browser print panel. In the case of Google Chrome, a
simple configuration panel (image 7.7.2) opens in order to adjust the table to the size of the page and print the
flight list.

7.8 FILTER MANAGEMENT
Dolphin FIDS offers users their own custom filter management. In addition to filtering the flights with the unit
flights in the table, here the user can create combined filters and filter the flights in the table. The filters
created can be saved for future use.
Image 7.8.0.1
Image 7.8.0.1 shows the filter management area located inside the main menu bar. 3 icons are used: one to
add new filters, another to save changes, and the last one to delete filters. There is a list of filters created by
the user next to the icons, in order to select which one to be used to filter the flight list.
Image 7.8.0.2 shows a list of filters in which the first one, 'All flights', is a common filter for all users and
cannot be changed or deleted.
Image 7.8.0.2
The other filters in the list have been created by the user and can be changed or deleted.
7.8.1 NEW FILTER
Use the icon in the main menu to create a new filter. The first step will be to filter the flights using the
common filters (see point 7.1.1.4), clicking on the new filter icon once the list is ready.
A dialogue box will be shown to enter the name of the new filter (see image 7.8.1.1).

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
Image 7.8.1.1
Once the name has been entered, click on the accept button to create the new filter. This will be added to the
user's filter list and selected as the main filter.
7.8.2 CHANGE SELECTED FILTER
The filters created by the user can also be changed and saved using the icon in the main menu.
Editing a filter is very simple. The first step is to change the table's common filters. The main filter will
therefore be shown with a red outline, alerting that the filter values are no longer the same (image 7.8.2.1).
Image 7.8.2.1
After clicking on the icon to save the filter changes and the new changes, these will be saved with the
selected filter name. The process ends when a message indicating that the filter has been saved correctly is
displayed (image 7.8.2.2).
Image 7.8.2.2
7.8.3 DELETE FILTER
To delete a user, first select one from the filter list and then click on the delete filter icon in the main menu.
Clicking on the delete icon displays a confirmation panel such as the one in image 7.8.3.1; once accepted, the
filter ceases to exist and is deleted from the list.

7.9 MANAGING THE APPLICATION: PREFERENCES AND CONFIGURATION
Dolphin FIDS is configured from a single centralised panel, which is accessed from the main menu using the
icon. The panel is divided into several tabs to differentiate the different configuration areas.
Changes made in this panel affect the entire Dolphin FIDS application and everybody using it. Certain
privileges are therefore required to configure the different panel areas (privileges management, point 6.4).
The configuration for the panel and its elements is the same in airport areas, airlines, observations, internal
observations and terminals. They all include a list to the left as shown in image 7.9.1, which has a filter for
searching and filtering the contents of the list.
Image 7.9.1

Dolphin AIS

form to the right of this panel when clicking on them.
Further details of each configuration area are set out below.
7.9.1 AIRPORT MANAGEMENT
Here the airports used throughout the entire Dolphin FIDS application can be managed. They are accessed
via the 'Airports' tab, displaying the panel as in image 7.9.1.1.
Image 7.9.1.1
There is also a list of all the system's airports. Each item is selectable and the information is displayed in the
form on the right.
An airport consists of its IATA (International Air Transport Association) code, its ICAO (International Civil
Aviation Organization) code, and its name in the different languages that can be displayed on the monitors,
along with its extended name.
7.9.1.1 NEW AIRPORT
There are two ways to create a new airport. Firstly, by selecting an existing one and changing the codes and
details as necessary. Secondly, by clicking on the 'Clean' button and entering all the details. In both cases the
new airport is saved by clicking on the save button.

This is where you can manage the resources used throughout the Dolphin FIDS application. It is accessed via
the ‘Resources’ tab and a panel is displayed like the one in image 7.9.7.1.
Image 7.9.7.1

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
This panel is made up of a list with the types of resources (point 7.9.7.1), a list with the airport terminals and
another list with the names of the resources associated with a resource and the airport area in which they are
located.
The list on the right, the resources list, depends directly on the selection made in the other two lists (types of
resources and airport terminals). These resources are managed with the add and delete form located on the
right.
7.9.7.1 TYPES OF RESOURCE
Resource is the name given to the airport resources necessary in the departure or arrival of a flight. They may
be: departure gates, baggage reclaim carousels, bays, stands, piers, check-in desks, etc. (image 7.9.7.1.1).
Image 7.9.7.1.1
7.9.7.2 NEW RESOURCE
To create a new resource, first of all select what type of resource it is going to be (gate, carousel, stand,

Resources that are allocated to a flight CANNOT be deleted.
7.9.8 TIME CONTROL
This panel allows you to configure the time values that are used to automate the dates/times of a flight, i.e. the
minutes’ difference between a time field and the estimated flight time.
This configuration enables the user to insert or change time data, making it automatic from the configuration
of these values. The panel is the one shown in image 7.9.8.1.

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
Image 7.9.8.1
The automation of flight times shown on the form is configured for each type of flight, so that first of all this
information is selected at the top of the form and on the right a checkbox is used (activating or deactivating it)
to indicate whether the time configuration is applied automatically. If it is not activated, it will not be applied.
In this way it is possible to differentiate the configuration of the times for domestic flights from international
ones, for example.
The rest of the form is divided into pairs of times, start and end. Enter a whole number greater than zero and
then select whether this value is before or after the estimated time. To save the changes, simply click on the
save button.
Once the values have been configured on this form, on the new flight panel (point 7.2) and edit flight panel
(point 7.3) there is no need to complete the time fields referring to the data configured on this panel, since
these time fields will be configured automatically in relation to the values referring to the estimated time
defined in this section, as long as the time configuration is activated.
7.9.9 DAILY LOADING
This panel enables you to configure the automatic loading of flights in real time from the seasons created
previously. This functionality is used when the FIDS system does not have a connection with an AODB and
the flight seasons loaded in seasonal flights are worked with.
The following form is accessed from the ‘Daily Loading’ tab:

7.10 HIGHLIGHTING FUNCTIONALITY
The field highlighting functionality enables you to display, at a specific time, the modified data of a flight
quickly and easily.

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
It operates in a very simple way: in the application the flight fields are configured for which it is considered
important to highlight the consecutive changes that are made to them. From then on, the successive changes
made to these fields will be displayed highlighted in the flight editor, as shown in the following image.
Image 7.10.1
7.10.1 MENU
The menu for managing the highlighting functionality is made up of various icons that are displayed below in
the box circled in green in image 7.10.1.1.
Image 7.10.1.1
With the icon highlighting of the flight fields in the table is hidden and therefore all flights displaying
highlighted fields as in image 7.10.1 will no longer do so, even though the highlighting functionality is still
activated.
The icon will change from being displayed like this to being displayed like this . On clicking on the latter,
the fields are once again displayed as highlighted in the flight table and the icon returns to its initial status.
The second menu option, which has the icon, displays two options when you hover the mouse over it, and
they are explained in section 7.10.3, points 2 and 3:
 Deactivate highlighted fields in selected flights.

 Deactivate highlighted fields in all flights.

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
7.10.2 DISPLAYING HIGHLIGHTED FIELDS
Highlighted fields can be displayed in one of two ways: in the main table or in the flight editing panel.
To activate the highlighted fields view in the main table, click on the main menu icon . The table will be
updated showing the highlighted data as in image 7.10.1. This display mode is saved in user preferences so
that in subsequent sessions, the table is displayed in the same way.
On editing a flight, in the editing panel the highlighted fields are represented with the icon.
7.10.3 DISABLE HIGHLIGHTED FIELDS
There are three different ways to deactivate highlighting of flight fields.
1. The first way is to deactivate highlighting of a specific field. To do this, go into the flight editing panel,
where the fields that are highlighted and can be deactivated are displayed. Image 7.10.3.1 displays
the gate terminal highlighted with the icon. By simply clicking on it this functionality will be
deactivated for this field.
Image 7.10.3.1
2. You can also deactivate all the fields highlighted for one flight or several flights. To do this, first of all
select the flights for which you want to remove this functionality by clicking on the flight table (for
multi-selection of flights, hold down the <CTRL> key).Once the flights have been selected, hover the
mouse over the icon in the main menu and click on the first option. A confirmation panel will be
displayed indicating the flights that will be affected. Once the action has been confirmed, all the fields
that were highlighted will no longer be so.
3. The final option for deactivating highlighted fields is by applying the deactivation to all flight fields at
once. The process is similar to that of step 2, but without having to select any flight from the table.
Hover the mouse over the icon in the main menu and then click on the second option. A
confirmation panel will be displayed and once the action has been confirmed, all the highlighted fields
for all flights will no longer be so.

The highlighting functionality can be deactivated with just one click,

but it cannot be activated in the same way.
7.11 FLIGHT SEASON MANAGEMENT
Flight season management is carried out in the seasonal flight editor, which can be accessed from the
‘Seasonal flights’ tab once the ‘Flights’ option has been selected from the main menu.
7.11.1 NEW FLIGHT
In the seasonal flights editor, flights should be inserted manually. Normally, this operation is carried out twice
a year: in the winter season and the summer season.
The flight creation form is accessible from the main menu by clicking on the icon, which gives you an
empty form; or through the icon and previously having selected a flight, obtaining the same form but with
details of the selected flights preloaded. In any case, the creation of the new flight is similar to that of flights in
real time, but with data specific to the season. See section 7.2.
7.11.2 FIELD RESTRICTIONS
Added to the field restrictions already defined for daily flights (section 7.2.1) are those specific to the seasonal
flights, which are:
 Start date: required, length 10, restricted via date control.

 End date: length 10, restricted via date control.
 Operating dates: restricted via selection via checkbox.
7.11.3 CHANGING A FLIGHT
To Access this form, first of all a flight should be selected from the table and you will see that the flight change
icon will change from a faint grey colour to a deep blue colour. When you click on this icon, the editing form
will open with all the date for the selected flight.
This form for editing a seasonal flight and making changes is similar to that of flights in real time. See section
7.3.
In seasonal flights the blocked fields are not displayed since all data is managed manually.

Dolphin AIS

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
8. OPERATION - RESOURCES
The resources editor is accessible from the ‘Operation’ option of the main menu of the application, followed by
the ‘Resources’ option on the next menu level. (See image 7.0.1). This is the interface that makes it possible
to display and change the allocation of flights to airport resources (check-in desks, boarding gates and
baggage reclaim carousels). It is shown as a linear time graphic.
With the data handled by the application, the flights are presented in different graphics, one for each type of
resource. Therefore, there is a graphic for the check-in desks, another one for the boarding gates and another
one for the baggage reclaim carousel. Each of these graphics is accessed via the tabs that are displayed just
below the main menu.
Image 8.0.1
The selected tab is displayed in blue, while the others appear in grey. By default, on clicking the ‘Resources’
option, the interface for managing the check-in desks is displayed.
8.1 INTERFACE FOR RESOURCES
The interface for managing allocation of resources is similar for the three types (billing, boarding and baggage
reclaim). The differences are mainly based on the options presented in the menu and the functions specific to
each resource.

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
Image 8.1.1
On the one hand, each horizontal line in the graphic represents a different type of resource and they are
placed in order by the airport terminal to which they belong. In image 8.1.1 some of the check-in desks in
Terminal 1 can be viewed.
Meanwhile, each vertical line represents a specific time interval, which is defined in the upper header of the
table. This header starts with a date, followed by the time and then the minutes that make it up. The time is
increased from left to right (for languages that are not read from right to left), and therefore the widest parts of
the graphic represent a higher allocated of time interval. However, the highest elements (from top to bottom)
are elements allocated to more than one type of terminal resource, because each horizontal line represents a
specific one. In addition, the real time is represented with a vertical yellow bar.
The elements of the graphic are interactive and they can be edited in different ways. They are mobile
elements that can be clicked with the mouse and dragged through the graphic to thus change its time values
and resource type. They can also be made larger or smaller, horizontally, to increase or adjust their time
interval, and vertically, to allocate the type of flight resource to the adjacent resources.
On hovering the mouse over the top of the graphic (where the date is located), a specific menu is displayed
that enables you to carry out the different functions specified below.

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
Image 8.1.2
Description of the different resource graphics:
 Check-in: the departing flights that have a check-in desk allocated within a range of hours and the
check-in desks that have simultaneous check-in for a specific company are displayed.
 Boarding: the departing flights that have the boarding gate allocated within a range of hours are
displayed.
 Baggage Reclaim: the arriving flights that have a baggage reclaim carousel allocated within a range
of hours are displayed.
8.2 MENU
The menu (image 8.2.1) is displayed when you hover the mouse over the top of each graphic, specifically
where the date is displayed. The menu for the boarding and baggage reclaim graphic is the same but the
check-in one has more options.
1. Boarding and Baggage Reclaim: It is made up, from left to right, of a button for adding new flights to
the graphic (allocating a resource to the flight), controls for increasing/decreasing its time interval (in
image 8.2.1 these are shown with a picture of a magnifying glass) and a button for saving the
changes made to the graphic. There are also two controls for delimiting the timetable of the resources
and a button for reloading the flight data.

The new check-in options allow the following:
 Icon for configuration of desks for simultaneous check-in. This makes it possible to individually
configure the properties of each of the check-in desks. Selecting this icon gives access to the panel shown
below.
Image 8.2.2
This same panel is also accessed from the column of desks located to the left of the graphic, by clicking on
the desk that you want to configure.
The panel for editing the desk properties shows: on the left the list of resources, in this case the check-in
desks with their corresponding terminal, to be able to make the selection; and on the left the properties of the
desk together with its simultaneous programming.

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
On a check-in desk it is possible to configure:
 logo to be displayed. Simply select it from the list on the right and the selection made will appear on
the left. To delete it select the option ‘n/a’ in the same way.
 text to be displayed. Simply select it from the list that is displayed by clicking on the text box with the
mouse. To delete it, select the option ‘n/a’ in the same way.
 simultaneous programming: these are generated by selecting from the top of the window the
company that is going to carry out the check-in and the range of hours reserved for it. To make it
easier for the user to allocate it, the current time is presented by default as the start time and three
hours later as the end time for selecting the range of hours in a simultaneous check-in. To complete
the check-in, the icon located to the right of the range of hours is clicked. Once this icon has been
clicked, the programming will be presented in the window intended for displaying the simultaneous
programming.
Image 8.2.3
The simultaneous programming for a desk is deleted by selecting them and clicking on the icon.
In any case, whenever changes are made to this panel the save button should be clicked to make the

 Checkbox that allows you to activate or deactivate the display of

simultaneous check-ins on the check-in desks. The simultaneous check-in allocations are displayed in light
purple on the graphic and the ICAO code of the company that has the allocation made is displayed both at the
beginning and the end of the programming.
Image 8.2.6
If this option is deactivated the simultaneous programming will not be displayed on the graphic.
8.3 TYPES OF COMPONENTS
The main component of the graphic is the one the represents one or more flights. A dot on the left represents
the type of flight check-in, the colour light turquoise represents that the flight has a differentiated check-in
allocated and the greyish colour represents that it has a simultaneous check-in allocated.
Images 8.3.1 and 8.3.2
The difference between the two images above is that the first one represents a single flight (FDN 1183) with
simultaneous check-in (grey dot) and the second one two flights codeshare (BGD 3303 and IBE 3428), the
main one and the secondary one for which the check-in type is differentiated (turquoise dot).
Another component that has to be differentiated is the once that represents reservation of a check-in desk in
simultaneous mode. As shown in the following image, it is represented with a violet bar and the company that
reserved it is indicated at the start and end of it.

Dolphin AIS

Image 8.3.3
Given that resources management takes place in real time, in order for the modifications made by the various
users to be perceived by all those displaying the graphic at that time, the flights are displayed in different
colours.
When a user makes a change directly on the graphic; either because there is a change to the resources (e.g.
the check-in desks), the start/end times, or simply the check-in type, this flight is displayed in green until it is
validated and the changes are saved. This is a way of reminding the user that changes have been made to
the flight and have not yet been validated. If the graphic is refreshed without the changes having been saved,
they will not be kept and the green shading will disappear.
Whenever changes are made to a flight and it is displayed in green, the save changes button will no longer be
deactivated and therefore it should be used if you want to make the changes effective.
Image 8.3.4
When flight changes are validated in real time, whether automatically or manually by a user, these changes
will be displayed for 30 seconds in orange for those users who are displaying the graph at the time so that
said users can easily perceive the most recent changes made.
Image 8.3.5
In the event that a flight component is displayed in red, this means that the element has been moved vertically
and that it is in a group of resource types that are from different terminals.

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
Image 8.3.6
In these cases, it will not be possible to save the changes until the error has been resolved, i.e. until the
affected flight is moved to a group of resources in the same terminal.
If the save button is clicked and there are any flights with a red background, the message in image 8.3.7 will
be displayed to warn the user that not all the flights have been correctly configured.
Image 8.3.7
Meanwhile, whenever the changes made are validated in the graphic, confirmation is requested from the user
by means of the following component:
Image 8.3.8
To display the information about the flight elements, simply hover the mouse over them. This way, a
component is displayed with the information about the start and end times of the resource associated with the
flight and a range with the types of resources to which the flight belongs.

8.4 CONTEXTUAL MENU
To interact with the flight components of the graphic, there is the option of using the contextual menu that can
be accessed by right-clicking the mouse over one of these components. The menu that will appear is the one
in image 8.4.1.
Image 8.4.1
The first contextual menu option is that of editing the resource. When you click on this option, a form opens so
that the start and end times of the resource associated with that flight can be configured manually (see point
8.6).
The second option is used to delete/deallocate the resource from the flight and the flight will therefore no
longer be shown in the graphic. This is an irreversible process and therefore before continuing a message will
be displayed that must be confirmed.
The option ‘Change to simultaneous check-in’ is displayed if the flight has differentiated check-in allocated. If
simultaneous check-in is already allocated, the option ‘Change to differentiated check-in’ is displayed. This
simply allows you to change the type of check-in for the flight, which means that the dot displayed to the left of
the flight will change from blue to grey or vice versa.
The options from the contextual menu for update table, zoom – and zoom + have already been explained in
point 8.2 of the graphic menu and therefore only the final option needs to be explained. This is an option for
sending the graphic component of the flight to the background of the graphic, i.e. if there are overlapping
flights, the one that is sent to the background is no longer displayed in the foreground. This option is very
useful when it comes to placing the components of the graphic in order.

8.5 ADD RESOURCE
Resources can be added to flights that have not yet been allocated. To do this, click on the menu button in the
graphic that looks like this:
A panel will open with a form listing all flights without resources allocated and that can easily be changed.
Image 8.5.1
Once the data has been completed on the form, click on the save button. This way, the data is sent to the
server to be saved and once the transaction is complete the user is informed with a message. The graphic will
then be updated to show the latest changes.
8.6 CHANGING A RESOURCE
The flights represented on the graph are interactive elements, i.e. they can be changed using the mouse.
These elements can be moved around the graphic by clicking and dragging them with the mouse. This way,
you can change the start and end date values, the resource allocated and the terminal it belongs to. They can
also be made bigger or smaller, both vertically and horizontally, to change the time interval and the range of
resources allocated.
Once the values have been changed, the save changes button will be activated and on clicking on it,
the user will be notified by a text dialogue, showing which flights are affected by the changes that have been
made to the graphic.

Once the above dialogue has been accepted, another one is shown with the save changes process, as shown
in image 8.6.2. OK appears in green if the data for that flight has been saved correctly and a KO in red if there
has been an error.
Image 8.6.2
Meanwhile, as for adding new resources, the same panel can also be used to change them, accessing it from
the contextual menu (by right-clicking on any component) and with the name ‘Edit resource’. The difference
with this form compared to the add form is that this time the form is loaded with the data for the flight that was
selected from the graph, as can be seen in image 8.6.3.

9. OPERATION – FIDS CONTENT
The FIDS content editor can be accessed from the ‘Operation’ option of the main menu of the application,
followed by the ‘FIDS Content’ option on the next menu level. (Ser image 7.0.1). This is the interface that
makes it possible to generate and configure the content related to the flight information that is displayed on
the FIDS system devices.
The FIDS content is defined via behaviour groups, i.e. the configurations of information that are associated
with the devices according to the presentations that are established.
9.1 BEHAVIOUR GROUPS
A Behaviour Group is defined as a set of pages activated according to a series of conditions. A device will
present a specific item of information according to the behaviour group that has been allocated to it. On
carrying out the maintenance of the Behaviour Groups, the user may perform maintenance at the same time
of the pages, filters and conditions that define this behaviour.
Through this functionality, the user, depending on the privileges associated with their role, can carry out the
maintenance of the FIDS content, which includes the following options:
 Behaviour group maintenance.

 Page maintenance.
 Filter maintenance.
 Orders maintenance.
 Page conditions maintenance.
For the types of maintenance included in this section, the privileges of a role are given in groups and
encompassed under the behaviour groups management privileges name.
The interface for managing FIDS content is the following:

A behaviour group is made up of a name, description, type of device for which it is generated and a list of
pages that define it.
The information about the behaviour groups can be refreshed at any time by clicking on the icon on the
upper toolbar.
9.1.1 NEW BEHAVIOUR GROUP
A new behaviour group can be created in one of two ways. The first way is to select from the upper toolbar the

created without pages being associated. This can be changed by selecting the corresponding page from the
dropdown list that displays the page name.
To add more pages to the group, simply click on the icon located to the right of the list of pages and in the
same way a new page is generated with the first one from the list and it should be changed.
For each page, once it has been selected from the list of pages, the number of pages allocated and the
condition of presentation should be completed.
If the same page is associated more than once with the group, it will be displayed in the form of a carousel
with the following flights that correspond based on the number of flights defined on the page.
If no condition is associated with the page, the device will always display the information associated with the
page.
To delete a page, select the icon located to the right of each of the pages.
Once all the changes have been completed, save the new behaviour group by clicking on the save button.

10. CONTENT MANAGEMENT
Content management allows you to design and generate the presentation models together with the content
that they should display, to finally generate the page to be displayed on each of the devices that form part of
the Dolphin FIDS system.
It is made up of a series of editors that make it possible to simply and intuitively load resources onto the
server, generate spots from the combination of the resources created previously and generate channels that
will contain the programming over time of the resources and/or spots also generated previously. From here,
the channels created can be tuned into the devices that make up Dolphin FIDS.
Contents management, which is accessible from the ‘Contents’ option on the main menu, is divided in turn
into four different editors that will allow you to complete all the steps necessary to present the content on the
devices, from the loading and generation of resources, to tuning of the channels on the devices.
From this option on the main menu, the submenu is accessed with the following options that will give access
to the different editors.
Image 10.0.1
Resources: this enables you to load the video and images to the server and define texts and URLs. They can
all be added afterwards as content for generating the presentations on the devices.

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
Spots: enables you to creation a series of combined resources to generate new content that can also be used
in the different presentations.
Programming: enables channels to be generated, in short, this is programming over time of the different
content generated previously that can be tuned on the devices.
Tuner: enables previously generated channels to be allocated and/or deallocated to the system devices in
order for the content defined therein to be presented.
10.1 RESOURCE EDITOR
The resource editor can be accessed from the ‘Resources’ option on the menu that appears when you select
‘Content’ on the main menu (see image 10.1.1).
Another way of accessing these options is via the application header. By clicking on ‘Content’ in the upper
menu and selecting ‘Resources’.
Image 10.1.1
There are four different types of resources:
 Images: files with images in bmp, jpg and png format.

 Videos: files with videos compatible with HTML5, such as mp4 extensions.
 Texts: texts defined and formatted by the user.
 URLs: URLs defined by the user and accessible by the system.
Although the image editor appears initially by default, a menu appears at the top with tabs so that the user can
select the one that they require at any time.

As mentioned previously, by default, when an image is loaded it is loaded with the ‘image’ and file-type tag in
order to make it easier for the user to find resources when it comes to generating spots and channels.
Although the file-type tag can be deleted by the user, the ‘Image’ tag will always be maintained and it cannot
be deleted in any case.
10.1.1.5.1 Adding tags

To classify an image with a tag, simply allocate it in the tags box that is located just below the image,
specifically above the empty blue line (see image 10.1.1.5.1). Simply write the name and press the <enter>
key. The new tag will then be generated below the image and on the top menu of the tags system it will be
added with the counter at 1 if it is new and, if it already existed in the system, the counter for this tag will be
increased by one.
You can add as many tags to an image as you wish.
10.1.1.5.2 Deleting tags

To delete a tag from an image simply click on the X icon located in the top right corner of each tag. The tag
will then be deleted both for the image and in the top tag management menu. If the tag exists for more

A spot is a sequence of resources (images, videos, texts or urls) created by the user and that can be used to
generate a channel like any other content.
In turn, a spot will be made up of one or more components that will include as content the resources
generated previously.
A spot component is made up of a template that defines the ways in which it is divided in order to allocate a
resource to each of them. By default, on generating a spot component, the initial template is the one that
presents the form in full screen. Afterwards, the user can select any other template.

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
This editor facilitates spots management so that it enables you to create, change, preview or delete both the

 Right-hand Area. This shows where the various devices and systems are situated, either located on
the map or on the maps of the installation.
 Left-hand Area. Where a hierarchical tree structure view of the devices is displayed, through which
you can browse the various systems and devices.
Image 11.1.1
11.1.1 HIERARCHICAL REPRESENTATION AND VIEWS
Both the tree structure view and the map and maps one are an enormous help to the user in finding and
locating devices. Initially, a physical tree structure view and a map view will be presented, both synchronised.

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
However other types of more detailed views can be generated to pinpoint the location of the devices more
specifically. These are the map and zone views.
 Physical view in tree structure. This is built according to the hierarchical distribution of the devices
in accordance with their physical dependency on other devices. There is only one per installation.
 Map view. Location of the devices on a map. When a device is selected in the tree structure view, it is
automatically located in map view and vice versa.
 Plan view. Location of the devices on the installation plan. When a device is selected in the tree
structure view, it is automatically located in plan view and vice versa. The plans are associated with
the systems and should be created in advance to be able to locate the devices on them.
 Zone view. Location of the devices in zones defined in the plans associated with the systems. The
zones are areas that can be defined on the plans in order to highlight them or logically divide the plan.
All users who have access to the configuration module will have privileges to display the different views.
When they enter the configuration module, they will be shown the physical tree structure view and a map view
by default.
The user has the possibility of selecting from the different plan and zone views via the drop-down menu by
clicking on any of the systems defined in the tree structure and selecting the option ‘View plans’ or directly by
clicking on the device located on a plan. At this time, the plan view will be updated, while the tree structure
view will remain the same.
If a device is selected in tree structure view, it appears represented on the map or plan in its corresponding
place. If zones have also been defined within the plan, they are also represented graphically on the plan itself,
indicating the devices associated with them.
At the same time, if the user selects a device on the plan, this is displayed highlighted in the tree structure
view.
11.1.1.1 HIERARCHICAL CONFIGURATION
Regarding the tree structure view, this is a hierarchical representation of the entire FIDS system, where the
installation is the root node called “system”. It is represented with the home icon , and the name of the
installation.

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
From here, new systems are generated, which are defined as nodes or parts of the installation. These, in turn,
are also called “systems” and they are represented by the globe icon and their name.
From these systems, more systems can be generated as child systems of the previous ones or the different
types of devices can be directly created (CIT, ECOM, VKIK, etc.), which are represented with a different icon
and their name. To create devices, it is essential for there at least one system to have been generated. It is
not possible to create devices that come directly from the root node i.e. the installation itself.
There is the HOST type device representing the server, which is automatically generated on initial start-up of
the application. This device cannot be deleted by the user from the interface.
As well as making it possible to create devices below the systems, it is also possible to create zones for
specifying or highlighting specific areas within these sub-installations. Like the devices, the zones cannot
come directly from the root node. However, the devices can come directly from the systems or be included in
zones defined in them.
This way, the hierarchy established for organising all the elements of an installation is the following:
ROOT (installation)
|_____SYSTEM (sub-installation)
|___SYSTEM
|___ZONE
|___DEVICE
|___DEVICE
The tree structure view can be hidden by clicking on the icon located in the upper left area of the map.

To return to the tree structure presentation, simply click on the icon.
Supervision of the devices is represented on the interface by means of icons associated with the name of
each of them. These icons, which indicate the communication status and the alarms that appear at a specific
time, are as follows:
 Ok. The device icon is presented in grey on the left of the device name.
Image 11.1.1.1.2
 Warning. The device icon appears in orange on the left of the device name. GRAPHIC HERE

In addition to the different views for locating the devices in which the user selects a view from among those
defined, other operations can be carried out with plans management, configuration and deletion of zones and
changing the position of the devices in zones, plans or the map.
11.1.2 SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT
The systems are managed from the device tree structure and they can be created by coming directly from the
root or from other systems. They make it possible to divide the installations, especially small ones, into
smaller areas that we can call sub-installations, in order to make it easy for the user to distribute the devices
so that they can be located in a simpler and delimited way.
From the root node (main installation) as many systems as the user considers necessary can be created and,
in turn, in each of these systems (sub-installations), more systems can also be created, generating a
hierarchical tree structure with as many levels with respect to systems as the user considers appropriate.
Once the systems have been generated, the devices of the installation or the zones that will form the systems
will be created.
The supervision system represented by the systems will correspond to the status of its child systems. In this
way, if one of the devices coming from a system is in warning status, the parent system will indicate this with
the icon to the right of its name and if they are in error status, the parent system will indicate this with the
icon on the right.
11.1.2.1 NEW SYSTEM
Once they are located on the device tree structure, the root node or system on which the new system is to be
created should be selected with the mouse and, by right-clicking, the ‘New System’ option should selected

11.1.3 SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT
The devices that form part of the FIDS are mainly managed from the tree structure, although they can also be
managed from their location on the map or plan. Each device has an icon associated with it to represent it.
This will be located to the left of the name in the tree structure.
Although all the devices can be created coming from a single system, for installations of a considerable size, it
is advisable to divide the installation in to various systems and zones to be able to distribute the devices on
them and make it easier for the user to locate, maintain and display them through the views as previously
indicated in the point “hierarchical representation and views”.
For device maintenance users will be able to carry out the operations of: creation, deletion and modification of
devices. In addition, there is the possibility of remote control of the devices, both for sending specific orders
and for displaying in real time the information being presented at any time.
The colour of the icon located on the left of the device name represents its communication status with the
server:
 No colour: the device is communicating correctly.

 Orange: the device has had several cuts in communication with the server.
 Red: the device is not communicating with the server.
11.1.3.1 NEW DEVICE
To add a new device, the user has the ‘New Device’ option on the menu displayed when clicking on any
system (except for the root) or zone of the device tree structure, and selecting the type of device they want to

At present, there are three types of devices known as CIT, VK_M and SVC that can be created in the FIDS
system:
 CIT: Intelligent Terminal Controller

These are devices that are either made up of a monitor and a controller connected to one another but
completely independent (physically they are two components) or integrated (physically they are
displayed as a monitor); and on the other hand there are the SoC (System On Chip) type, which are
devices only made up of one component and the controller is integrated in the monitor. These are
also physically displayed as a monitor.
 VK_M: Virtual Keypad
These are virtual keypads, which are the configured elements where interaction takes place with the
Dolphin FIDS system, via the VKIK module, at any of the boarding gates, check-in desks or baggage
reclaim carousels.
 SVC: Versions and Configuration Servers
These are the servers used to start up the CIT type devices that are made up of a controller and that
are configured for remote start-up and autoinstallation.
Although there is another type of device known as HOST, it is created automatically by the system and cannot
be deleted by the user. It represents the server that controls the entire Dolphin AIS system.
Once the device type has been selected, in each case its creation panel is accessed where at least the
properties indicated with an asterisk have to be completed.
Image 11.1.3.1.2
The creation panel is divided into two tabs:
 General data: This is the data that identifies the device and the configuration properties for start-up,
resolution and basic operation of the device.
 Specific data: This is data that gives it the specific functionality for presentation of information,
including the channel that it has to be picked up. SVC and HOST type devices do not have any
specific properties.
Simply complete this data and click on the ‘Accept’ button to generate the new device. Although completing
the description is optional, it is advisable to complete this field with a text that details it more significantly.
To exit without saving the data, click on the ‘Cancel’ button.

11.1.3.5 DEVICE PROPERTIES
Apart from the properties identifying the devices (name and description), which are defined for the different
types of devices, there are other properties that we can put into two groups: general and specific. The former
depend on the device type and the specific ones do not have such differentiation. In any case, to change the
properties of the devices see the point ‘Change Device’.
11.1.3.5.1 SPECIFIC
The specific properties define the behaviour of the device in relation to the function it will have in the
installation, i.e. what type of information it is going to present. They are defined both for CIT type devices and
VK_M type. In SVC and HOST type devices they do not apply.
In this case the definition of the function in a device s made up of the following properties:
 Block: This is the group to which the device belongs. The individual devices are also considered as a
block.
 Order in the block: Relative position of the device in the group. For a block with more than one device,
the first one begins with 0. For the position of the individual blocks, with a single device, the order will
always be 0.
 Resource: Type of resource (boarding gate, check-in desk, baggage reclaim carousel, etc.) with
which the device is associated for displaying information. If no type of resource is associated, the
device assumes that it will display general information not associated with a resource.

Dolphin AIS
User Guide
Version: 1.1
 Value: If a type of resource is associated with the device, the name of this resource should be
associated, together with the terminal to which it belongs.
 Behaviour group: this is the presentation designed and configured for displaying the information on
the devices. It will be a value that can be selected from the list of behaviour groups generated
previously. This property does not apply to VK_M type devices.
 Channel: Name of the channel to be picked up by the device. This will be a value that can be selected
from the list of channels generated previously. This property does not apply to VK_M type devices.
Image 11.1.3.5.1.1
11.1.3.5.2 GENERAL
The general properties of a device define the parameters necessary for its start-up and configuration. These
parameters are the ones that depend on the nature of the device and therefore depend on the type. They are
defined for all types of devices.
The general properties are as follows:
 Name: Name identifying the device. It should be unique.

 Description: Descriptive text for locating the device.
 MAC Address: Device MAC Address. It should be unique. Only for CIT type devices that are not SoC.
The character ‘.’ is admitted as a provisional value and a wildcard.
 IP Address: IP Address that will be allocated to the device. It should be unique. The character ‘.’ is
admitted as a provisional value and a wildcard.
 Gateway: If VLANs are configured, this is the gateway so that the device can communicate with its
server.
 Sync: This should always have the value NTP. Only for CIT type devices that are not SoC.

Dolphin AIS

were displaying (‘Stop’).
After the devices have been selected, they can be added to or deleted from the list with the and icons
respectively.
11.1.4 ZONE MANAGEMENT
Zones are managed from the device tree structure and can only be created in the systems. They make it
possible to define in more detail specific areas of the maps and situate devices on them. They can also be
considered as a way of displaying the devices logically.
To associate the zones with the maps, it is necessary for the maps to have been previously generated
because the zones are drawn inside them.

11.2 MAPS MANAGEMENT
Maps are graphic representations of the systems or part of a FIDS installation. They are associated with the
nodes known as systems so that each of them can have one or more maps associated with them.
Maps management makes it possible to carry out the actions of creation, modification, display and deletion of
the maps on which the devices are located. In addition, zones can be defined within the maps that will define
specific areas in the same map.
All this management takes place via the maps editor, which is accessible via the ‘Maps management’ option
on the menu that appears when ‘Devices’ is selected from the main menu. (See image 5.1.2).

13. PROGRAMMING SWITCHING MONITORS ON AND OFF
Through automatic programming of switching monitors on and off the user can program all the monitors to
switch off and on automatically at a specific time. Once these times have been set, the system will
automatically send the corresponding orders to the all devices.
This option can be accessed by selecting the ‘Program switching on/off’ on the menu that is displayed when
you click on the configuration icon that appears in the application header. It is accessible from any of the
modules.
Image 13.1
This way you access the configuration panel of the schedules to which you want to program either of the two
orders.
Image 13.2
The times configured for sending orders will be executed daily. In addition, for the programming to actually
run, the option shown in the upper area of the panel should be enabled.
