IF YOU HAVE FOUND THIS PAGE, IT IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION!
Manual Call
Trains are typically called or activated 1-2 hrs before departure. Until this happens, the train displays in the Planned Layer on the platform docker. For more information, see Platform Docker Display#Planning Layer.
With this enhancement, users now have the option to manually call a train, bringing it from the planning layer to the forecast layer.
Once in the forecast layer, that train can be re-planned, have train notes applied, associations amended etc.
Note: This also applies to manually calling Q or Y paths.
To manually call a train, simply right click on the train and select Manual call as seen below.
Note: The system searches for activation messages twice a minute, so a user may need to wait up to 30 seconds to see their manual call action processed.
Remember: acumen does not publish any messages. The manual call is only applicable to acumen and will not affect the activation status of the train in any other systems.
