Trip Selection Options for Batch Jobs

Table 1. Description of Trip Selection Options Used for Batch Jobs
Trip Filters	Description
Booking SubTypes	Select bookings assigned specific booking subtypes. If no selection is made, all bookings regardless of subtype are included.
From Distance	Select trips with a total trip distance equal to or greater than the specified value. For example, 5. The type of distance (for example, miles or kilometers) is determined by the format selected for the Distance property in File > Properties, on the Formats tab. If another format is selected, the system automatically converts the distance value to the new format.
From Time	Bookings with a SchTime or ReqTime equal to or later than this time (for example, 9:00) will be included in the job. If the SchTime is set, it overrides ReqTime in the comparison.
Funding Source	Select bookings that have been flagged with a specific funding source. Select one or more check boxes in this list. Funding sources are defined in File > Ancillary Data > Para > Pricing > Funding Sources.
Location	Select trips by location. The button beside the Location field toggles between the following options: PU, DO, and PU&DO. For example, selecting PU filters only trips with pick-ups at the selected locations. Click the ellipsis button (…) beside the field to open a screen to select locations and/or location types.
Para Services	Select bookings assigned to specific service types. If no selection is made, bookings for all service types are included.

Time Window Length	Duration of time in seconds. Used with the Time Window Offset filter, this filter forms a dynamic booking from/to time window based on the time the batch job starts. The From time is calculated in the following manner: current time + Time Window Offset. The To time is calculated in the following manner: current time + Time Window Offset + Time Window Length. If the resulting To time exceeds 24:00 then it is treated as the resulting time within the same date, not the next date.
Time Window Offset	See description for Time Window Length. If the Time Window Length is 0 (or null), this setting is not applicable.
To Distance	Select trips with a total trip distance equal to or less than the specified value. For example, 20. The type of distance (for example, miles or kilometers) is determined by the format selected for the Distance property in File > Properties, on the Formats tab. If another format is selected, the system automatically converts the distance value to the new format.
To Time	Bookings with a SchTime or ReqTime equal to or earlier than this time (for example, 20:00) will be included in the job. If SchTime is set, it overrides ReqTime in the comparison.
Violations	Search for and reschedule trips with specific violations. Type the violations separated by commas (,). For example, if you type `SL10,OB15,CAP`, the system reschedules trips with: Schedule Late violations (exceeding the schedule time by more than 10 minutes) OnBoard violations (exceeding the on board time tolerance by more than 15 minutes) Capacity violations
