Build Report Options

Detail Level You can adjust the amount of information that the build report will show. Select one of the four levels. The program when generating the build reports stores the Very Detailed information to disk.

Minimal -- provides the least amount of information. Can provide information when train build is not completed.

Normal -- setting shows which engines and cars are being excluded from the train, and which engines and cars are being picked up and dropped.

Detailed -- setting will generate quite a few pages depending on the size of your railroad. It will show all available cars and engines, and a bit how the program finds destinations for the cars and engines.

Very Detailed -- setting produces the most pages, and will show why cars are not picked up or dropped.

Be sure and press after changing the build report selection.
