You can specify the separator that separates multiple listed output attribute values (e.g. in lists).

The comma is set as default.

Note

The semicolon ;, the dollar sign $ and the double prime sign are not permitted.

Maximum text length (empty = unlimited)

You can enter any desired value or leave the field blank. If the length of the output attribute values exceeds the specified value, the output is cut off. If no value is specified, the output is not cut off.

The default value is 255.

Connecting journeys section

Element

Description

Show connecting journeys only between different lines

If this option is selected, only transfers to vehicle journeys of different lines are counted as connecting journeys.

Maximum wait time for reached connecting journeys

Enter the transfer wait time up to which a transfer from one vehicle journey to another is classified a connecting journey. The wait time only applies to the connecting journeys reached.

Maximum negative wait time for missed connecting journeys

Enter the maximum time period that may elapse between arrival and missed vehicle journey so that this vehicle journey is counted as a missed connecting journey. This period does not include the walk time between vehicle journeys. The walk time is added when calculating the missed connecting journeys.

Tip: Alternatively, you can access the settings by clicking the Network settings for connecting journeys button in the Connecting journeys list.
