Scheduling Trips Using Drag-and-Drop Method 2

Multiple trips can be dragged and dropped to Schedule Editor from Trip Administration.

About this task

Using the Schedule Booking Wizard is generally recommended over using the drag-and-drop method, which can be time consuming. Drag-and-drop can be used in Schedule Editor to resequence events within a run, to insert an unscheduled trip into a run itinerary, or to move a trip from one run to another run.

This is one of two methods you can use to insert an unscheduled trip.

Procedure

  1. Click Tools > Trip Administration.
  2. Locate the scheduled or unscheduled trip.
  3. Click Tools > Schedule Editor.
  4. Display the run itinerary of the appropriate run.
    Resize or move Schedule Editor so that you maintain a clear view of the trip to be scheduled in Trip Administration.
  5. Drag and drop the trip(s) from Trip Administration to the Run Itinerary grid. (Drop the trip between the two rows where the pick-up and drop-off events of the trip is to be inserted.)
    The mouse pointer shows the insertion point (for example, between the last trip event and the pull-in).
    The trip is now scheduled to the selected run. For example, run ABC003.
    Trip Administration is visible in the Trapeze4 Workstation and Schedule Editor's Run Itinerary view is visible on top. The mouse pointer looks like a stack of papers as a trip is dragged from Trip Administration to the Run Itinerary.
