Replacing Nodes in One Location

The Replace Node tab is used when you have different nodes belonging to different lines that are at the same location and you want to use only one name for all the nodes.

For example, at the bus depot in a shopping mall, you may have set up each bus platform as a node. Each of these nodes are named differently although they are in the same location, for example, Node 1A, Node 2A, and Node 3A. You now decide to identify the whole bus platform as just one node. You must replace all the nodes in that location with the new node.
  1. In the Stop to Node screen, select the Replace Node tab.
  2. Optional: In the Sign Up list, select the appropriate sign-up period.
  3. In the Replace Node field, type the abbreviation of the node you want to replace.
    In the box below this field, a message appears indicating where this node is used. If it is not used in any line in the current context, the message states “Node is not used on any line in this signup.”
  4. In the With Node field, type the abbreviation of the node with which you want to replace the first node.
    The box below this field also displays a message indicating where the node is used.
  5. Click Replace.
    In the Output frame, the system displays a report on what is updated with the new node and whether the replacement is successful. The text boxes also indicate the changes made.
  6. Select the Assign tab on the Stop to Node screen.
    The node is shown as replaced.
