Index Number is made up of three parts and is automatically generated.

  • The first part of the index number is the prefix which is taken from the Entry Signal prefix when the record is saved.

  • The centre section of the index number is taken from the Entry Signal number, and is auto-populated when the record is saved.

  • The suffix of the index number is taken from the Route Name letter and this again is auto-populated when the user saves the record.

Signals (both Entry and Exit) are broken down into two parts - a string value and alphanumeric value. If a route card exists for this Index, the signal prefix is pre-populated from the previous route card.
