2.  In the navigator, select the GUI > Lists page.

3.  Make the desired changes.

Element

Description

Font for lists

Select font

Use the button to select a font, style and font size in a separate window for all lists.

Reset

Via the button you can reset the settings to the Visum default.

Column headers

Here you can specify whether the attributes in the column headers are displayed as short names or as long names.

Short name

If the option has been selected, all attributes are displayed with their short names.

Long name

If the option has been selected, all attributes are displayed with their long names.

Row labels

Here you can specify whether the attributes in the row headers are displayed as short names or as long names.

Note

Only in some statistics list, row headers are labeled with attribute names.

Short name

If the option has been selected, all attributes are displayed with their short names.

Long name

If the option has been selected, all attributes are displayed with their long names.

Standard synchronization mode

Synchronization means that objects which are marked in a list are simultaneously marked in the network display and in other windows as well, if applicable. The same applies vice versa.

No synchronization

List windows and other windows are not synchronized.

Highlight object(s)

Network objects marked in a list window are also marked in other windows and vice versa.

Note

Independently of the setting, you can change the synchronization individually for each open list window (Synchronizing network object lists with other windows).

Miscellaneous

Extended input options

If the option has been selected, the input possibilities in lists change as follows:

  • Logical values are controlled via activated/deactivated check boxes, for example Use automatic link orientation.
  • The values of a set can be edited in drop-down lists, for example Control type.
  • Values of a set of which you can select multiple items, are displayed as buttons labeled with the current selection. They open a new window. In the window, you can select multiple items, for example TSysSet.
  • Values for user-defined attributes of type File are displayed as button, which are labeled with the name of the selected file. The button opens the Open file window, where you can make a new selection.

Generating demand layout files when opening the zone list

If this option is selected, the following pre-defined list layout files will be generated when the zone list is opened:

  • EVA trip generation output
  • EVA production rates
  • EVA constraints
  • EVA study area factors
  • Person groups and structural properties
  • Tour-based model - production results
  • Tour-based model - production rates
  • Tour-based model - study area factors

Using these list layouts, you can immediately view the most important demand data.

Default for number formats

Use thousands separator

If the option has been selected, the thousands separator set on page Formats is used in lists (Using thousands separators).

4.  Confirm with OK.
