Selecting Trips to Copy

The procedure for selecting Trips to copy is similar to that of selecting Lines.

Check the source and destination divisions and garages associated with the source trips to be copied when copying trips (whether or not selecting the Keep Block Numbers/Ids option, which is beside the Trips option in the FX Copy - Select Context window).

If the divisions and garages in the source agency also exist in the destination agency, copy and match on Divisionabbr and Garageabbr.

If there are divisions in the source agency that do not exist in the destination agency, you are prompted to create the missing divisions in the destination agency with abbreviations (Abbrs) that match those of the source agency divisions. The message shows the values that must be created. Otherwise, you cannot continue with FX Copy and the Next button is not activated.

  1. Select the From (source) and To (destination) sign-up periods in the Select Sign-ups view, and click Next.
  2. Select Trips in the Select Context view.
    Select Context
  3. Optional: To maintain any block numbers/IDs associated with the lines, services and trips of the source data in the copy, select the Keep Block Numbers/Ids check box, and click Next.

    When copying Trips, this view relates to services where lines do not have any relationship to services.

  4. In the Select Services To Copy From view, select the services individually you want to copy or click Select All, and click Next.
    To clear all selections at once, click Clear.
    Select Services
  5. In the Service Detail To Copy To view, select the service to which you want to copy the selected source, and click Next.
    Service Detail

    If in a multi-agency environment, the Service field shows DEFAULT. There is no list of options shown. The system copies to the target service with the same abbreviation as the selected source. If none exists, a new service is created with the same abbreviation as the selected source. If copying data from the same sign-up period, you are unable to add a new service. If copying from another sign-up period, a new service is created with the same abbreviation as the source.

  6. In the Select Lines To Copy From view, select the lines whose trips you want to copy. When you copy trips, you are also copying lines and this step lets you specify which lines are to be copied.

    To clear the selections at once, click Clear.

  7. In the Select the items to be copied view, select trip data items related to the specific lines and services that you want to copy, and click Next:
    • Run Times
    • Trips
    • Stop Trips
    • Shifts
    • Interline Relationships
    • Comments
    • Node to Node
    • Info-Publisher

    If you do not select an item, which has an essential relationship to an item that you click, Stop Trips, Run Times, and Trips are automatically selected as well. Select the options you want to copy. (If you selected only one line, the Line Detail To Copy To view opens first.)

  8. Continue the procedure starting with step 4 of Selecting Lines to Copy.
