How do I add an operating location?

Locations are your operating bases. Each one carries an ICAO ident and a timezone, and the calendar and weather widgets key off them. Manage them at Scheduling → Locations.

Steps

  1. Open Locations and add a location.
  2. Fill in the fields:
    • Name (required)
    • ICAO code (required) — four letters, e.g. KJFK
    • IATA code (optional) — e.g. JFK
    • Timezone (required) — pick the IANA zone for the base
    • Address (optional)
    • Operating hours start / Operating hours end (HH:MM)
    • Operating days — the weekdays the base runs
  3. Set one location as primary. The primary location's ICAO drives the default weather lookup on the calendar.
  4. Save.

Why the timezone matters

Bookings are entered and displayed in the school's timezone, with a per-user toggle to local browser time. The location timezone is what "school time" resolves to — see the timezone toggle in [[scheduling-switch-calendar-views-and-filters]].

ICAO idents always render in mono, uppercase: KJFK, KFAY.
