Reviewing Possible Schedule Solutions for Trips

To help you understand why a trip was scheduled on a particular run, you can review the schedule solutions that were offered for the trip in the Schedule Booking Wizard.

About this task

The number of offered solutions saved for each scheduled trip is specified by the Saving solution details property (found in Wizard > Properties, on the Scheduling Wizard tab). If the selected schedule solution is not within the specified number, it appears as the last possible schedule solution in Flashback mode. If the first offered trip was selected, the system does not save other schedule solutions for review.

Procedure

  1. In Trip Administration (click Task > Trip Administration) or Schedule Editor (click Task > Schedule Editor), do one of the following:
    • Right-click the scheduled trip for which you want to review offered schedule solutions, and then click Reschedule.
    • Click the scheduled trip for which you want to review offered schedule solutions, and then click Tools > Schedule Wizard.
    • Click the Schedule or Reschedule button:
      Three times: 1:07, 1:10, and 1:40.
    The trip appears in the Schedule Booking Wizard.
  2. Click the Flashback button:
    Alarm clock.
