Managing offer

For each Transport offer the star wheel of every offer allows to launch the accessible actions (see, edit, timetables, clone, validate, archive, destroy).

To create a new Data set you should click on “Add new” button, fill in the template with all necessary informations and to submit them.

You define the validity period(s) of your dataset and choose the line(s) concerned.

By checking “Use current offer”, you have the option of creating a Data Set from the merged offer.

You can create (or modify) a dataset indicating that it contains urgent data. This information is then present in the details of a dataset, and the dataset itself will be distinguished by a red flag. Urgent offers are taken into account at the level of merge and aggregation.

The created data set has automatically status “Ready”.

You can open the Data set information and access the following actions:

• routes: to see all the routes of this Data set

• purchase windows: to see all the purchase windows of this Data set

• timetables: to see all the timetables of this Data set

• clone: to create a copy of this Data set

• validate: to test this Data data

• purge: to clean this Data set on desired period

• archive

• destroy

When you view or edit a dataset, if the dataset in question is changing the state and is no longer editable, a notification appears on your screen.

Notifications are used to signal that the dataset is changing the state to:

• pending

• archived

Purge of useless Data set

Chouette conserve in every Workbench:

• data set ready

• data set referenced by one of the analysed offers of Workbench (current and old versions)

• 20 last data sets created (no matter their status and date of creation)

• data set archived one month ago

All the others data sets are eligible to be cleaned automatically by Chouette in order to conserve a space for reasonable stock.

You can clean up the “content” of a Data set using the option “Purge” available on the Data set page.

The function “Purge” is available for all the Data sets with status “Ready”.

The timetables attached to a Data set are deleted or cut when the dates or the periods are :

• out of defined in data set periods

• Purchase window without any vehicle journey

• Timetables attached to no one vehicle journey

When the user validate the methods of purge :

• the user is redirected to the data set page

• notification indicates the clean up in progress

• data set has the status “Pending” till the end of purge
