The Operations plugin is the flight management centre of Crewly. Captains schedule flights, crew request to join, and managers track status from the dispatch board.
What Operations adds
- Flight scheduling with route, aircraft type, and departure time
- Join request system for crew to request a spot on a flight
- Status flow from scheduled through to completed
- Dispatch board showing all active and upcoming flights
- Flight numbers auto-generated per org (e.g.
CR-0042)
- Link to attendance sessions for crew manifest logging
Flight status flow
SCHEDULED → SERVER OPEN → IN PROGRESS → COMPLETED ↓ CANCELLED
| Status | Meaning |
|---|
| Scheduled | Flight is planned, not yet open |
| Server Open | Roblox server is open, crew can join |
| In Progress | Flight is underway |
| Completed | Flight finished |
| Cancelled | Flight cancelled at any stage |
Scheduling a flight
Members with the Host flights permission can schedule a flight. Go to Operations and click Schedule Flight.
Fill in:
- Flight type — Line Flight, Training, Event, Charter, or any custom types your org has defined
- Route — origin and destination (e.g.
YSSY → YMML)
- Aircraft type — the aircraft being flown
- Scheduled time — when the flight is planned for
- Max crew — optional cap on crew size
Flight numbers are assigned automatically in sequence.
Opening a server
When the Roblox server is ready, the host clicks Open Server on the flight detail page. This changes status to SERVER OPEN and allows crew to submit join requests.
Join requests
Members with the Request to join permission can submit a join request on any SERVER OPEN flight. The host sees requests in the flight detail page and can approve or deny them.
Approved members appear on the crew manifest. Denied members are notified.
Starting and completing
When the flight departs, the host clicks Start Flight — status moves to IN PROGRESS. When the flight lands, Complete closes it out.
Dispatch board
The Operations main page shows a dispatch board with all flights organised by status. Managers can see all active flights across the org at a glance.
You can switch between:
- Board view — cards grouped by status
- List view — compact table with all flights
Flight types
Flight types are configured in Settings → General → Flight Types. Each type has a name, colour, and a toggle for whether it counts toward quota.
Default types are Line Flight, Training, Event, and Charter. You can add, edit, and reorder types to match how your group operates.
Flight types are shared between Operations and Attendance. If you disable Operations, Attendance can still use the same types for standalone sessions.
Linked attendance sessions
When a flight moves to SERVER OPEN, a host can open an attendance session linked to that flight. The session tracks exactly who flew and for how long. See Attendance for details.
