Viewing Run Itineraries on the System Map

The run itinerary view shows a complete list of events scheduled to a specific run.

About this task

This view focuses on the current time in the current day’s schedule unless you click to it from a specific event. Not all information about an event is visible on the grid. Use the scroll bar or select the furthermost right cell of the event and tab to view additional information. When viewing a run itinerary, its events (for example, pull-outs, pick-ups, drop-offs, pull-ins, and so on) can be shown on the map, along with the estimated time of the event.

Run itineraries can also be viewed using Google Earth.

If desired, routing can be shown using street routing instead if the Street Route Traces for Runs property (found in File > Properties, on the Tools tab, under Schedule Editor > Street Route Traces for Runs) is enabled. Contact a system administrator for assistance enabling this property.

The color of the itinerary line is set in File > Properties, on the Tools tab, under Schedule Editor > Color Settings > Activity Map Color > Map: Color Current Run
