Simulate Allocate and Approve
- Simulate SRP Chair assignment as TAC
- Publish for Disposition button
- creates AV per facility
- creates ATMV per facility and 1 ATM
- publishes AV with ATMV for Disposition
- checks for previously published to Disposition and does not overwrite
- always makes a new AV from AR and new ATMV
- sets Proposal Disposition Comments
- Publish for Approval
- same as publish for disposition but for approval
- Publish for Closeout
- same as publish for disposition but prior to publication, it sets the Allocation Disposition States to "Approved"
- Advance to end of Approval
- Does all three steps above
- Predictable data
- setting a seed
TAC Configuration
- Configure Panel manually for TAC Members+Chair
- Import from PPR SRP Chair
Scheduler
- Source Conflict identification
- automated source conflict identification
Scheduler Tools
- Construct Preliminary Allocation Dispositions (priorities and time)
- Inputs:
- Proposal Information (current Semester):
- Sources, Resources
- Cluster ID; Time; LST/GST range, Config (VLA); Band;Fixed Date?
- Linear Ranks
- Sources, Resources
- Other:
- Carryover from previous semesters
- Sponsored time
- Maintenance Time
- Proposal Information (current Semester):
- Fine Tuning inputs
- Manual inspection of carryover etc
- Algorithm to determine scheduling priorities and available time
- How initial priorities are determined are Facility specific
- e.g., VLBA is straight quartiles
- How initial priorities are determined are Facility specific
- Fine Tuning
- Manual inspection of pressure plot
- Annotate recommendations
- e.g., promote N → C to fill gaps
- Output to TAC
- Cluster ID; Time; LST/GST range, Config (VLA); Band; Priority
- Pressure Plots
- Proposal Summary
- Downloading Proposal Summary can be filtered
- Downloading the Proposal Summaries will produce the same proposal ordering, based on the internal proposal ID.
- Facility Reports
- The Pressure Plot may be downloaded by right click, save on the plot in the UI.
- In some cases, highlighting a portion of the plot only downloads that portion instead of the full plot (unsure if browser dependent)
- The data for the facility report can be downloaded as a csv with a json entry for the data blog.
