... For queued observations, the nightly scheduling will be performed by sta# astronomers using an Operational Toolkit. ... The toolkit will make all observation preparation data available to the oper­ ator, and will allow the definition of queues and timelines of Observation Blocks (OBs). ... The operations team then uses the Operational Toolkit to browse the repos­ itory and build queues, based on object visibility, expected observing conditions, and user­defined scheduling constraints. ...
