This function enables theship`s information and

manipulationscreen:

This window is diveded in two parts:

The information tree shows brief information regarding the ship`s

status.The tree is also used to select

certain items

Details to the selected item

In this example we have marked the item „ETD“

Change the date and time of

departure or change the actual draft

Let`s have a look at dangerous goods

A partially expanded information tree...

...and the corresponding

information to the selected item

You can catch agroup of objects ...

Draw with the mouse a rectanglesurrounding the objects you

want to see ...

The result is a list of allcatched objects.

You can mark an object and have a look at the details

a brief infoThis is the

unit of interest

These are the detailsof a DG-position

Sometimes there are toomuch information on the

screen ...In this case you can hide

unnecessary object-groups ...

Switch off allobject-groups ...

The result is an „empty“harbour

(don´t worry, all objectsare still there)

We only want to see „class 3 - container“

on the terminal

What ships are planned for the lock ?

A „click“ on thelock gate showsyou the plan ...

This is the list of thecurrent planning

Let´s have a lookat traffic planning Complete
