Adding Sign-Up Periods

Sign-up periods define the length of time over which a schedule applies. These are often seasonal.

  2. Click Add. The Add opens.
    Add sign up periods
  3. In the Name field, type a name for the period.
  4. To set the date range, perform one of the following steps:
    • In the From Date and To Date fields, type the values to create the date range of the period.
    • Click the calendar icon beside the date field and select the date that you want from the calendar.
    You can sort sign-up periods by the date fields.
  5. Optional: Select the appropriate option as applicable:
    • To set the period as production (streetable), select the Production checkbox. This is important for other products such as Trapeze INFO-Agent where the system needs to know the span of dates to retrieve data appropriately.

    • To set the period as development, select the Development checkbox.

    • To hide the sign-up period from being displayed in the Sign-up period list when users set the context, select the Hidden checkbox.
    • To freeze the sign-up period when you do not want changes made to it, select the Frozen checkbox. (If selected, the grid in the Route Definition screen become read-only and most of the menu options in the shortcut menus of the different tabs will also appear shaded or not activated.)
  6. Optional: In the Comments field, type the information you want to add about the sign-up period.
  7. Click OK.
  8. In the Sign-Up Periods , click Close.
