FX System Properties
The FX system properties are listed on the System tab in the Properties dialog box of the Trapeze4 workstation.
Activate Logging: Please contact your Trapeze representative for information.
Allow Cross-Agency Nodes on Deadheads and Travels: This property is used in BlockBuster.
Allow Duplicate Node Abbrs Which Differ by Case Only: If set to Yes, the system allows duplicate Node abbreviations. The same abbreviation except spelled with different letter cases, for example, one begins with a capital letter while the other one starts with a letter in the lower case, for example, Dwlh01 and dwlh01.
Allow Duplicate Stop Abbr: If set to Yes, you are able to enter duplicate stop abbreviations in the Route Definition screen when you create stops. If set to No, you will be unable to enter duplications. This property is used when multiple fields identify a unique stop.
Allow Overlapping Run Time Bands: If set to Yes, overlapping time bands are allowed. If set to No, a message states that an existing time band conflicts with the new time band. After you click OK, the Run Times Edit dialog box opens to allow you to edit the time bands.
Allow Production Sign-Up Overlapping: If set to Yes, you are able to set up sign-up periods that are flagged for production with overlapping dates. Choose No when you do not want sign-up periods with overlapping dates.
Clone Using MMS DBD: Allows you to clone a data source using the MmsData.dbd file.
Line Dependent Dhd/NtN: Used for the Blocking screen, Deadheads tab. If set to Yes to make the columns FromLine and ToLine become available for use, that is, you can associate a deadhead to a line. If set to No, those columns are not available, thus preventing you from associating a deadhead to a line.
Only Show Services with Trips: When set to Yes, both Service and Service Group menus in the Set Mode dialog box only contain services with trips in them. Next to each field, a Show All button has been added. Selecting this button reloads the complete service list into the field. When the property is set to No, the Show All buttons are not visible and the complete list of services is loaded.
- QR Code File Name: Sets the name of the image file.
- QR Code Format String: Sets the parameter for the format pattern.
- QR Code Size: Choose the size (in pixels) of the QR code when displayed.
- Refueling by: Choose Time or Distance to determine how blocking fuel breaks are incorporated into the schedule. You must set the Use Refueling property (following) to activate this property.
- Use Refueling: Set to Yes to activate the Refueling by property (previous). If left at No, the Refueling by property is not activated.
Revenue No Label: Allows you to change the name of the Revenue No label in the Lines (column header and label in the Line Edit dialog box), Patterns (menu item) and Trips (menu item) screens. The value is blank by default. Enter the label you want to display in the Revenue No field in the Lines Edit dialog box and select Revenue No from the menus in the Patterns and Trips screens.
Services: Service used to extract and generate stop trips. Values must refer to the settings in the Trapezed6 Service Shell in use. If not set, a message appears when you open the Trip Building screen indicating that FX is not connected to the Trip Building service. You are able to view the trips data but unable to create or edit the stop trips data. (This is also required if you use Google Maps.)
Host - Host address
Port - Listener port through which the connection is made.
Show Comment Symbol [not Abbr]: Used for any screen in which comments are applied. If you choose Yes, the symbol you type in the Symbol field in a given Comment dialog box is what appears in the related main screen instead of the abbreviation for the comment.
Time Dependent Interline Relationships: Choose Yes or No. If you choose Yes, then you can create interline relationships that change according to time of day.
Street Side for Distance Calculation: Allows you to choose the side of the street (Right or Left) where a stop is located that the system includes when calculating pattern and stop pattern distances. This is set to Both by default. If you use this property, make sure that the stops are positioned correctly to avoid inaccurate results.
Use Allowances: Allows you to add an allowance on the run and/or run piece segment level. On the Run Allowances dialog box, you can enter the set of allowances you wish to use. In Graphical Runcutting, these allowances can be attached to either a run or a run piece segment. This is a client-specific property.
Use Driver Blocks: Applicable to both FX and BlockBuster. To use driver blocks, choose Yes. Driver blocks are used primarily for rail, where a transit site blocks vehicles then blocks drivers separately.
Use Revenue No (Number): Revenue numbers allow for the summation of time and distance. When you choose Yes, the Revenue No. field appears in the Add dialog box of the Lines ancillary data. When you assign a value in this field, it is stamped on all patterns associated with the line. It is also stamped on the trip times of the trips built for the line when you use the Build tab of the Edit dialog box in the Trip Building screen or in the Trip Building tool.
Use Run Piece Segments: Applicable to both FX and BlockBuster. While pieces are parts of runs, segments are parts of run pieces. Examples of segments are pull-outs, pull-ins, layovers, and report times. Select the Yes button in order that when a segment is made part of a run, the system adds the segment data to the costing routine.
