Interfaces Edit Table

If an entity will be picked up or dropped off at a particular location by a resource, that location must connect to a node through a location-node interface. The Interfaces edit table is used to define location-node interfaces. The graphic below shows how to set node N1 to interface with location ENTER, node N6 to interface with Location LEAVE, and so on, as in the example at the beginning of this section.

The fields of the Interfaces edit table are described as follows.

Node The node name.

Location The name of any locations which interface with the node. Nodes can interface with several locations, but a location may interface with only one node on the same path network.

How to create location-node interfaces

Left click on the desired node to begin rubber-banding a link or interface.
Left click on the desired location to complete the interface.

Please Note: A node on a path network may not interface with a particular unit of a multi-unit location (i.e., Loc1.2). A node may interface only with the “parent” location (i.e., Loc1) of a multi-unit location.
