Change Log

Cirro 23.33.0

General

  • Weekly summary emails are now delivered at Monday, midnight, in the user’s preferred timezone.
  • New users added through the Cirro interface will now be prompted to reset their password on their initial login to further promote system security.
  • Users and aircraft may now be filtered by department in the schedule module. A department must be associated to at least one client in order for the department filters to apply, and this is in addition to any base filters but can be applied independent of base filtering. Please contact Cirro support for a further tutorial if interested in sorting by department.

Scheduler

  • Deleted tasks are no longer displayed in the calendar.

Flight Itineraries

  • Capabilities (such as expired TDG training) requiring an admin override during the creation of a flight itinerary now file the itinerary to a PENDING state allowing admins to review and approve or deny the requested action. This is similar to the Flight Release process followed for Flight Risk Assessments.

    them.

Flight Duty Times

    appropriate days as future entries are added.
