SkyWin HowTo — Jump Queue

How to let jumpers manifest themselves

Overview

The Jump Queue consists of two parts: the actual queue of jumpers at the top, and the input area below.

Use the Jumper field to find the Member or Group wanting to jump. Search by Group name, Member name or Member number, then select from the result.

Optionally change Jump type, Altitude and/or add a Comment.

Press Enter or click Add jumper(s). The jumper appears at the bottom of the list inside an open group. Keep adding jumpers to place them in the same group — the group closes automatically after inactivity.

When you are done, click Close group. Use Remove last to undo the last addition.
