Editing PassRTV Context Properties

To control which data appears in COM views, you can set PassRTV context property values.

Before you begin

COM must be open.

About this task

If an ellipsis button (…) appears beside a property name, you can specify values that apply when specific users are logged in. You can also specify a value that applies for all users, or for all users for whom particular values are not specified. For example, you could specify that some users should see late trips for a longer period of time in a day than other users.

If a field appears beside a property name, you can set one property value that applies to all users and groups.

If you change context property values for a view that is already open, you must open the view again for the changes to take effect. Context property changes do not take effect when you refresh data in the view.
