One column per network object

If the option has been selected, you can select the network object or a relation in a separate window when clicking on the button.

Tips

A multi-level selection is possible. The set union of all objects is then selected. You can, for example, select the relation Origin connectors/Node/In Links of Zones. This means that the set of all incoming links at all connected nodes has been selected. You can thus, for example, display all volumes of the incoming links at a specific node.

One column per analysis time interval

If the option has been selected, the chart displays one column per time interval for one or more attributes.

Notes

This option facilitates the graphical display of the temporal course of, for example, volumes at links, stops, lines and so on. Each attribute is displayed as a separate row.
