Bus Display
The Bus Display presents data describing each bus in the case. The Bus Display is a class of Case
Information Display and therefore can be used in a manner consistent with all other case information
displays. It has a case information toolbar from which you can print, copy, and modify its records as
well as view the information dialog of its associated bus. You can also sort the bus records by clicking
on the heading of the field by which you want to sort. Additionally, you can choose to restrict the
records shown by the Bus Records Display according to the constraints of the area/zone/owner filters.
Finally, when Simulator is in Edit Mode, the case information toolbar allows you to add new buses to or
remove existing buses from the system.
To show the bus records display, select Network > Buses from the Model Explorer or from the Case
Information ribbon group under the Case Information ribbon tab.
