Specifying the background of the table

In the tabular timetable, you can specify different background colors for displaying active and passive vehicle journeys, vehicle journey sections, and vehicle journey items. You can further show a classified display.

If you do not want to specify graphic parameters settings for the tabular timetable, you can display directly editable cells differently from non-editable cells.

1.  From the Timetable (tabular) menu, choose Edit graphic parameters.

The Edit graphic parameters: Timetable (tabular) window opens.

2.  In the navigator, select the desired page Vehicle journeys, Vehicle journey sections or Vehicle journey items.

Therefore only the settings of the Active tab of the vehicle journeys are described.
