Vessel Allocations

Common Tasks

How to View Vessel Schedules (Vessel Grid)

Open the vessel allocation view to see all vessels and when they run, with utilization and blocked slots.

1. In the left sidebar, click Vessel Allocations
2. The page title is Vessel Allocations with subtitle "View vessel schedules and capacity"
3. Use the date range controls (chevron left/right) and the view mode toggle: Day, Week, or Month to change the range
4. The grid has rows = vessels (vessel code, vessel name, capacity "Cap: N"), columns = dates (day abbreviation and MMM d). Each cell is a day for that vessel; cells can show one or more slots (start time, activity name, booked/capacity, utilization %), or "No trips", or Blocked (lock icon + "Blocked")
5. A legend at the bottom explains colors: Empty (0%), Low (<50%), Medium (50–80%), High (80–99%), Full (100%), Blocked

Result: You see which vessels are scheduled for which days and their utilization. Blocked slots are shown in the grid. For daily operations and manifests (walk-ins, mark departed, print, served/no-show) use the Dive Board.

Note: Blocking and unblocking a vessel for a slot may be done via the backend or another screen; the Vessel Allocations page is primarily a view. If your deployment exposes block/unblock actions on this page, use those; otherwise blocked state is set elsewhere.

How to Add or Change Vessel Schedules (Time Slots, Days)

Vessel schedules (which days and times a vessel runs) are configured in Service Management, not on the Vessel Allocations page. The grid here reflects those schedules.

1. Go to Service Management
2. Find the dive (or activity) service that uses the vessel and click the row to expand it (chevron expands to show resources)
3. In the resources table, the Schedules column shows "N slot(s)" or "Not set" with a clock icon. Click that cell to open the schedule modal
4. The modal title is [Resource name] - Time Slots. Click Add Time Slot, then in the form set Time (start to end), Days of Week (Mon–Sun), and optional label. Use duration presets (1 hr, 2 hr, etc.) if needed. Save
5. Return to Vessel Allocations and refresh to see the updated grid

Result: The vessel appears in the grid for the configured days and slots. The Dive Board will show the selected date's departures based on these schedules.

Key Concepts

Vessel Grid vs Dive Board

Vessel Allocations is a schedule overview: which vessels run on which days and at what times, and whether slots are blocked. Dive Board is the operational view for a given day: actual departures, manifests, walk-ins, mark departed, and fulfillment. Use Vessel Allocations to configure and block; use Dive Board to run the day.

Days of Week and Time Slots

Schedules are defined per resource (vessel) and service with start time, end time, and days of week. The grid shows these as columns (e.g. Mon, Tue, …) and rows or cells for each vessel and slot. Multiple slots per day per vessel are supported (e.g. morning and afternoon).

Troubleshooting

Vessel Not Showing in Grid

Cause: The vessel may not be a resource for the current business unit, or it has no schedules.

Fix: In Service Management, ensure the vessel exists as a resource under the dive (or activity) service and that at least one schedule (time slot + days of week) is configured for it.

Block Not Taking Effect on Booking

Cause: Block may be for a different date or slot; or the booking flow may not yet enforce blocks for that context.

Fix: Confirm you blocked the correct vessel and date/slot. Check the reservation booking flow and Dive Board to see if the block is reflected; if not, report to your administrator.
