NTCTIM

FEATURE OBJECT ATTRIBUTES

Attribute: Notice time

Acronym: NTCTIM Code: ?

Camel case: noticeTime

Attribute type: Complex

Definition:

Span of time, prior to the time the service is needed, for preparations to be made to fulfil the requirement.

Sub-attribute	CamelCode Identifier	multiplicity	sequential
NTCHRS	noticeTimeHours	0..*	true
NTCTXT	noticeTimeText	0..1	n/a
OPERAT	operation	0..1	n/a

References:

Remarks:

The absence of OPERAT or a null value for OPERAT means NTCTXT qualifies or explains NTCTIM. In this case NTCHRS and NTCTXT must be read or displayed together.

Comment:
This enables constructions like:
"Notice of ETA at pilot boarding position should be sent 48, 24 and 6 hours in advance or on departure from the last port if within 48 hours of ETA."

A further instance could be:
"Confirmation is required 2 hours before arriving at xx position."

Product specifications which allow multiplicity > 1 for this attribute should state whether the order of values has any significance and should explain the significance.
