The Availability Confirmation Query allows you to search for and view all operational entities and their respective confirmation times for a selected Operational Line, Rollup Entity, or Confirm Date (you may also filter on a combination of the three).
If you don't enter any selection criteria, all operational entities will display along with the latest confirmation time regardless of line. You can also view history by entering any Confirm Date as necessary.
To run the query, enter your selection criteria and select the Retrieve button to display the results on the Confirmed and Unconfirmed Operational Entities i-frame. Each record that matches your criteria will display the Operational Entity, Description, Confirm Time, User, and Status.
If you want to run a new query with different criteria, select the Clear button to clear out the filters and follow the steps above to run another query with new information.
For more information, see the Unit Availability User Guide.
