Adding Services

Most transit properties have four services: Weekdays, Saturday, Sunday, and Holidays or Special Events.

Procedure

  1. Press F3 and set the context you want to work with. See Setting the Mode for instructions on setting the mode.
    Note: Services are sign-up dependent which is why you must make sure you are working with the correct context (e.g., sign-up period).
  2. Click File > Ancillary Data > Fixed > Services.
    The Services dialog box opens:
    The Services dialog box with a callout to click Add or Edit.
  3. Click Add.
    The Add dialog box opens.
  4. In the Abbr box, enter an abbreviated name for the service. The Service Group drop-down box is automatically populated with the same abbreviation as the service.
    Alternatively, from the Service Group drop-down box, assign another service group to the service.
  5. In the Name box, enter a full name for the service.
  6. In the Number box, enter a day code for the service; e.g. "1" for Weekday, "6" for Saturday, and "7" for Sunday.
