The following changes have been documented in this version 21 edition of the BlockBuster Standard Reports Catalog:
Headway Sheet
The following changes have been made to the Headway Sheet :
- Added the following new parameters:
- Show Comments - If selected, the comments associated with the trips in the headway are shown at the bottom of the report.
- Empty Trip Times Character Fill - Allows you to set the character that is shown in the report if there are no trip times instead of an empty field, for example, a dash (-) . In this case, dashes are shown in the grid if there are no trip times.
- Show Run, Pattern, Block column on Right - If selected, the Run, Pattern, and Block columns that appear on the leftmost part of the grid also appear on the rightmost part of the grid.

show Exceptions associated with the trips. You can choose where they are to be shown
in the report with the following options:
- Do Not Show
- Left Margin Only
- Both Margins
- Show Notes on Right- If selected, the Notes column is shown on the right side of the grid.
- Show Vehicle Type - Controls where the vehicle type
information is shown in the Headway Sheet. If selected, users can choose from the
following
options:
- None - If selected, no vehicle type information is included in the report. This is the default.
- Left Margin Only - If selected, the vehicle type information is shown on the left section of the report. The Vehicle Type column is shown between the Exc (Exceptions) column (if shown) or the Run column and the Garage From column.
- Both Margins - If selected, the vehicle type information is shown on the left and right sections of the report. In the left section, the Vehicle Type column is shown between the Exc (Exceptions) column (if shown) or the Run column (if Exc column is not shown) and the Garage From column. In the right section, the column is shown after the In Line column.

added:
- Vertical lines (separators) between timepoints and other trip data.
