Rig Size is not limiting the sites shown

Top  Previous  Next

Q: When I right click on a site and go to a new reservation, why does it allow me to put a 40' rig in a site that is set up for a 30' unit -- or if I pick out a site before knowing the size, and then enter the size, it will remove the site from the grid but still allow the reservation to be made on that site.

 

 

A: First, the "Use Preferences" box must be checked in order for it to filter by the rig size (because the max length is an 'attribute' field in the site), and of course the max length field must be filled in for the sites.  Then it won't show any sites that won't fit the rig size once the rig size is entered.  Based on the second part of your question, though, it seems that you're already doing this.

 

You can also make sure "Use Preferences" is checked by default for new reservations -- go to Maintenance / Program Options / Reservations and select the option "Start New Reservations with "Use Preferences" checked".

 

However, as you've seen, if you select the site first and then enter a size too large for it then there isn't any warning if it won't fit (other than the fact that you won't see the "<NEW>" in the grid because the selected site will be removed).  This is an oversight and will be corrected in the next version.  

 

In the meantime, if this is a common issue then you might want to change your procedure so you go directly to New Reservation (click the telephone icon or press F2) instead of right-clicking on the site on the Rack or Map, and enter the rig size before selecting a site.
