1 Introduction
Clipboard, Bookmarks and Sharing Charts
This topic will go through the clipboard and bookmark function and teach you how you can organize a subset of charts and documents. It will also cover the use of the Share icon and how you can share your charts with other users.
We estimate that this will take 4 minutes to complete.
2 Detailed Explanation
Clipboard
The NAVBLUE Charts+ Windows clipboard provides another way to organize
a subset of charts and documents. This applies to workspaces for FROM/TO/ALTN AD charts, Charts AD info, Charts Bulletins, Charts POR/AFB, Company Doc General, Company Docs AD, Charts+ AD Charts, and Charts+ Guide.
When any reset behavior is triggered (change the FROM or deploy a package or restart the application), the clipboard is emptied.
Bookmarks
The NAVBLUE Charts+ Windows bookmark will provide you another way to
organize your documents (only for Company Docs General and Charts+ Guide). It will enable you quickaccess to your documents. Please note you will
not be able to bookmark any AD chart.
Contrary to the clipboard, the bookmark is not emptied when a reset behavior is triggered, however, an uninstallation of the application will remove
all bookmark entries.

Default Charts
Your chart administrator can specify default charts for an aerodrome. Default charts defined by your chart administrator for the route identified on the enroute screen are initially assigned the chart screen ribbon tiles if you provide the correct entry in terms of departure, arrival and either departure or arrival runway. You can, if you choose to, assign a different chart.
3 Sharing Charts
Share Charts
The Share Charts functionality allow you to share your chart selection to the other pilots present in the cockpit. If the resolution and orientation are the same, the zoom and pan
are sent as well. However, annotations and sketches are not sent.
Please refer to Installation course to set the eCharts.Setting.ini file.
In the setting (see Settings), you must set to ON the "Enable SHARE Charts" setting.
The Share button.
Located in the application settings you need to make sure Enable Share Charts is turned on.
Using Share Charts functionality
To use share charts functions, you need to make sure that all devices must have the same airport configuration (FROM, TO and ALTN) setup.
Once this done, in the chart workspace if all requirements are met for the different device to communicate then this icon on the toolbar will
display automatically. There is no manual connection to establish the communication.
When one pilot click on the following icon,
it will broadcast to all set devices in the cockpit the charts selection, rotation, zoom and pan.
Other devices will receive a notification and pilots can accept or reject the charts selection. This notification is shown whatever the current workspace open in the application (terminal charts - any airports,
document viewer, enroute map).
If the pilot receiving the chart selection choose to accept the notification and is not in the terminal chart workspace, the workspace is changed to display the current selected chart from the sender.
If the pilot receiving the chart selection choose to reject, the notification is hidden and the current
workspace is not changed.
Notification you can either Accept or Reject the charts selection.
