The list window

Once you have selected a type of list, a list window opens.

(1) Title bar

The list header shows the name of the list in squared brackets. You can edit the name of the list (Editing window headers of lists).

(2) Menu bar

Once a list window is open, the List (<Network object type>) menu appears on the far right on the menu bar.

(3) Column header

As column header, either the short or the long name of the attributes is displayed, according to the setting. Any selected relations are put in front, for example Min:InLinks\FromNodeNo. A tooltip provides further information about the displayed attribute if you point at a column header.

Here you can edit the current attribute selection (Viewing/Hiding attributes), adjust the layout (Adjusting the list layout) or sort a list (Sorting a list).

You can change the height of the column header by dragging it with the mouse. Long attribute names can thus be displayed in full below each other.

(4) Data

Here you can view the values of the selected attributes. The shortcut menu offers various editing options.

Note: The first column of a list indicates the number of the row.

Note

The function only affects the data displayed in the list. Filters on network objects are not touched by this (Filtering the data of a column)

Show/hide cross-section view

If the icon is pressed only one row will be displayed for each network object. The direction-specific attribute values are summarized.

Notes

This option is only provided for directed network object types such as links, turns, or OD pairs.

How the attribute values are to be summarized is predefined by an inherent logic. For values that are not numerical, only the value that applies to the 'up' direction will be displayed.
