The Load View 

There are two views from which to begin your work. They are The Pass View & The Load View.

The Pass View is generally used when you want to create a specific itinerary for one or more cities. The Load View is generally used when you have one or more city pairs for which you would like to check the loads on several different dates. Very handy for commuters! The Pass View allows you to add as many cities as you like. It will then go online and automatically retrieve the schedules and loads for all of the cities in your itinerary, regardless of how many there are, or the different dates that they may occur on.

When you first access Apollo Plus, you are presented with a screen that looks like this.

 

This is the Pass View. It contains the pass "cover" on the top half, and the Summary View on the bottom half. To change to the Load View, simply click on the "Load Information" button in the bottom left hand corner. The screen will then change to look like this:

 

You are now viewing a new, blank Load View. To begin, click on the 'New' button in the lower left hand corner. You are presented with a dialog box that allows you to enter the departure and arrival cities, as well as indicate the dates for which you would like to retrieve information.

 

In this example, we are requesting information between Denver and Los Angeles. Now look at the April calendar. Notice that we are able to indicate several dates to retrieve information. This is very handy for commuters. Let's say that you know for April that you will need to commute from Denver to Los Angeles every Thursday. You simply click each one of those dates, and it will turn green. Once you click OK, the request is stored in the Summary View as displayed below.

 

Notice that there is now a separate entry made in the Summary View for each date. The city pair is also displayed, along with the status of each request. You may make as many different requests for as many different city pairs and dates as you like before going online.

At this point, you can click the 'Call Apollo' button near the bottom and the program will automatically begin the process of going online and retrieving your reqested information. Once it has completed it's tasks, you can then move to the next phase of the process, which is reviewing your reqested information.
