GMS tools overview
Weather and staff tools
The staff portal brings weather preparation and staff administration together. The public website presents published information; the CMS manages editorial content. Access to editing and publication depends on your role.
Tool guides
wxRegister and aviation
Enter observations and save aviation drafts; distinguish preparation from transmission.
Observations and aviation
wxRegister separates the staff register from a read-only Imported observations view. Filter imported SYNOP, METAR or SPECI records by station and UTC time range; source provenance and reported publication status remain visible. Staff entry provides structured drafts and advisory validation. TAF/Metar Composer saves working aviation drafts. Full operational encoding, correction tracking and transmission remain launch work in progress; do not infer delivery from a saved draft or preview.
WxWatch provides weather imagery and archive browsing. Check the timestamp and source of each item before using it.
Public website and CMS
Forecast products and CAP alerts have their own authoring workflows. Editorial pages and articles belong in the CMS where connected. After publishing, verify the actual public page; the two publishing paths are not interchangeable.
Planned modules
Services, Climate & Data, Operations, Bus, Janitor, Stores, IT Tickets, Resources and salesbus remain visible while their functionality is developed. Their presence in navigation does not mean they are ready for operational use. Bus and Janitor portal integration and later PWAs are roadmap work.
