About Blocks

Blocks are an organized series of continuous runs used for assigning specific vehicles on specific days.

Blocks are generated during day activation and based on information from other Trapeze products (for example, Trapeze FLEX and Trapeze FX).

There are occasions, however, when you need to build blocks in Trapeze OPS independently from the Activate Day function.

For example, if April 26th is activated, and you discover errors in vehicle assignments or a significant number of vehicles are pulled off for maintenance, you can build blocks in Trapeze OPS. Rather than unassigning all vehicles individually or reactivating the day (which causes your open work assignments to be lost), you can start over by deleting blocks and building them again. You can rebuild blocks and preserve work assignments if you:

  1. Remove the blocks for April 26th
  2. Rebuild the blocks for April 26th
Attention: You can't build blocks or delete blocks in Trapeze OPS if the data is from Trapeze PASS or if you don't have permission to delete blocks. If you use Set Default Vehicle and vehicles are pulled off for maintenance before a day is activated, those vehicles aren't assigned to any blocks.
