Task #19634
openFlight Schedule - Airline dropdown search does not support IATA Designator Code (filters only by airline name)
0%
Description
Tenant: MACCS
Environment: Qualif v 1.1.7_20260331075625
Issue: UI/UX Improvement
In the Airline dropdown (Add Flight Schedule screen), the search functionality currently filters results only based on the Airline name/description.
However, in air freight operations, users frequently search airlines using the IATA Designator Code (e.g., EK for Emirates, QR for Qatar Airways).
Currently:
- Typing “emirates” returns correct results
- Typing “EK” does NOT return Emirates Airlines
This indicates the search is not considering the IATA Designator Code field.
Preconditions
- Airline maintenance contains:
- Airline Name (e.g., Emirates Airlines)
- IATA Designator Code (e.g., EK)
Steps to Reproduce
- Go to Add Flight Schedule → Airline dropdown
- Type “EK” in search field
- Observe results
Actual Result
- No result OR irrelevant results shown
- System filters only based on airline name/description
Expected Result
- Dropdown should support search by:
- Airline Name (e.g., Emirates)
- IATA Designator Code (e.g., EK)
Typing “EK” should return:
EK – Emirates Airlines
Suggested Fix
- Enhance dropdown search to support multi-field filtering:
- Airline Name
- IATA Designator Code
- Display format should be standardized as:
[IATA Code] – [Airline Name]
e.g., EK – Emirates Airlines - Ensure:
- Case-insensitive search
- Partial match supported (e.g., “E”, “EK”, “Emir”)
NOTE:
This improvement should be applied to all screens in the Air module where Airline/Flight selection is performed, to ensure consistency.
