Processing Tools

The Tools window provides graphical aids that may be used to define processing records and routing records. It is also used to define the graphical paths that entities follow when moving without a path network between locations.

The Tools window, which appears along with the other Processing windows, can define processing in one of two modes, New Process or Add Routing. Each is explained next. Additionally, Find Process Mode is available. To select a mode, click on the desired button. Each of the modes is described on the next page.

In addition to option buttons (New Process, Add Routing, or Find Process) for the process editing mode, the Tools window contains a list of defined entities as well as the reserved word ALL to represent all entity types. The entity in Processing Tools applies to either the process or routing entity, depending on what is currently being defined.
