Element	Description
Add	Add new stage with the first free number
Duplicate	Copy stage and insert with a new number
Delete	Delete selected stages

6.  Make the desired changes:

Element	Description
No.	Number of stage
Name	Name of stage
Pseudo stage	If the option is selected, the stage duration is not changed during green time optimization. The duration of a pseudo stage is zero seconds in all stage-based signal programs. This option acts as a "stage transition divider" to handle the special case when more than one switching command is received during a stage transition of a signal group. In this case, the stage transition is divided into two stage transitions, each linked to a pseudo stage. The Pseudo Stage option can only be selected if no stage transition has been defined for this stage.
