    By default, the upper pane of the screen is open while the bottom pane, AutoPopulate Rule Criteria is closed.

    The upper pane is closed and the AutoPopulate Rule Criteria pane opens.

  5. Specify the appropriate values in the following fields:

    • Parent Object Type - Choose Point Type or Amenity Type.

    • Parent Type - If you chose Point Type as the Parent Object Type, choose the appropriate Parent type, for example: Stop, Node, or Kiosk. If you chose Amenity Type, choose the appropriate amenity.

    • Child Object Type - If you chose Point Type as the Parent Type, choose Amenity Type or Attribute Type. If you chose Amenity Type, your choice is Attribute Type by default.

    • Child Type - If you chose Amenity Type as the Child Object Type, choose the appropriate amenity. If you chose Attribute Type for the Child Object Type, choose the appropriate attribute associated with the selected amenity type.

    • Compare Mode - Choose the appropriate comparison operator to be applied when the new rule is compared to other rules, for example: Equal To or Greater Than.
      Note: Your choice from the first field determines the options that appear in the succeeding field, for example, the selected Parent Object Type determines the options shown in the Parent Type field.
  6. From the Value list, choose the option to indicate availability, size, condition, or material of the Child type.
    Note: The Value field is activated after you select the Child type. The Value field appears as a check box or text field depending on the selected Child type. For example if you selected BenchType, the options in the Value list may be Wood or Metal.
  7. In the Weight field, enter the value to determine the importance of the criteria.
  8. Click Save.
  9. Optional: To apply the selected values to existing attributes, click Apply, which is in the upper right corner of the screen.
