The Bank Summary Window
The
Bank Summary Window is located on the top right side of the Criteria
Selection screen. The purpose of this window is to help you to
better understand the impact of certain combinations of criteria on
your search results. The Window lists the Criteria as you select and
Search. It will then display to you how many Lines were found based
on your criteria.
Please review the Criteria Selection process,
and the
Bank Overview before
reviewing this topic.
Step 1 of
4
For
this example, we will start with one criterion, and then add more so
that you are able to see the results. The first criterion consists
of the 8th, 9th, & 10th Off only. Now Search.
The Bank Summary Window displays the number of Lines for
this criterion (290)...
...and that number matches the number in the
Bank.
Step
2 of 4
Now we will add the second criterion, "All 2 Day Trips",
and then Search.
The Bank Summary Window now displays the change in the
yield of selected Lines to 89 as a result of the additonal
criterion.
Notice that the criteria does not stay in the order
it is entered in the Criteria Selection section. Instead, it is
in the order of highest yield according to the criteria. So, for
example, referring to the above graphic, if we were to
enter "All 2 Day Trips" as the only criterion, then the yield would
be 307 Lines. But combined with those particular dates off of the
8th, 9th, and 10th, the yield has now dropped to 89 Lines. Whereas
those particular dates off as criterion by themselves would yield
290 Lines as demonstrated
above.
Please note that it is the
smallest number in the Bank Summary Window (89) that matches the
number of Lines in the Bank (89).
Also notice how we are able to do multiple searches on
the same Bank. This allows us to play "what if" games until the
criteria combination, and the yield of Lines is exactly what we
want. Also notice how the red and blue area above the Bank is
keeping track of the number of Lines, Bids, and Positions for the
entire bid. The red section is a total of all of the Banks while the
blue section refers to the current active Bank. Since there is
currently only one Bank, then the numbers in both areas are
identical.
Step
3 of 4
Now let's continue the example by adding the next
criterion, "All Lines to have 1000 as the easrliest
check-in".
By adding this criterion to the mix, the yield has now
dropped to 35 Lines...
...and that number is again reflected in the Bank
itself.
Step
4 of 4
And lastly, we will add one more criterion just to drive
home the point.
Here is the Bank Summary display...
...and finally the Bank itself.
At this point you are able to
either...
a) continue adding criteria , or
b) Review your selected Lines
, or
c) Add a new Bank and continue
your search for more Lines.
Please note that this process is specific to each Bank,
and that the process starts over each time you add a new
Bank.
