Early beta
ModuOps version 6 is in early beta. Anything you do in it may be lost or may not be compatible with the final version. Don't rely on it for anything you can't afford to redo.
Version: Version 6 (preview)

Reports

ModuOps offers reports that summarize the equipment requests in your layout. Reports display data in a table that you can search, filter, sort and export to a comma separated values (CSV) file. CSV files can be opened in a spreadsheet application for further work.

Find the reports under the Reports heading in the sidebar menu:

  • Equipment Summary
  • Car Requests
  • Module Summary

For timetable printouts, see String Diagram & Timetable Reports.

Working with report tables​

All three reports use the same table. You can search across every column, filter any column, sort by clicking a column header, and show or hide columns from the column menu. There's a row density control to fit more on screen, paging with a choice of rows per page, and checkboxes to select rows when you only want to export some of them.

Exporting to CSV​

Each report has export buttons:

ButtonDescription
Export All RowsExports every row that matches the current search and filters, across all pages.
Export Page RowsExports only the rows on the current page. Not available on the Equipment Summary.
Export Selected RowsExports only the rows you have checked. Disabled until you select at least one row.

The column titles become the first row of the CSV file. Exports are flat lists of rows. Grouping on the Car Requests report is not carried into the file.

Car Requests​

The Car Requests report lists every equipment request in the layout, one row per request. Use it to see what cars each Module/Town, owner, consignee or drop zone is asking for.

ColumnDescription
ModuleThe Module/Town.
OwnerThe Module/Town owner.
ConsigneeThe consignee making the request.
Drop ZoneThe drop zone the cars are delivered to.
Spot CapacityThe drop zone's capacity, in your layout's length unit.
Car ClassThe requested equipment class.
Car CodeThe equipment type code, such as an AAR code.
DescriptionThe equipment description.
Car LengthThe equipment length, in your layout's length unit.
DemandThe equipment request's Demand.

Only equipment requests that have a Module/Town, consignee, drop zone and equipment type are listed.

Screenshot needed

Car Requests report grouped By Module, showing the Demand totals on each group row.

View presets​

Buttons above the table set up the report for a common question with one click. Each preset chooses which columns show and how rows are grouped.

PresetGroups rows by
By OwnerOwner
By ModuleModule
By Car TypeCar Class
By ConsigneeConsignee
By Drop ZoneModule, then Drop Zone
All ColumnsNo grouping. Shows every column.

All Columns is the starting view.

Grouping​

To group rows your own way, drag a column header into the grouping area above the table. Drag in more headers to group within groups. Each group row shows the total Demand for that group, for example "Total: 12".

ModuOps remembers the columns you show and the grouping you choose, and uses them the next time you open the report for this layout.

Equipment Summary​

The Equipment Summary shows total demand for each equipment type across all Modules/Towns. Use it before a session to let members know what rolling stock to bring.

ColumnDescription
Car TypeThe equipment class and length, for example "B 40".
CodeThe equipment type code.
DescriptionThe equipment description.
ShortThe equipment short description.
EraThe equipment era.
Relative DemandThe total Demand of all equipment requests for this equipment type.

Only equipment types with at least one equipment request are listed. Sort by Relative Demand to see the most requested cars first.

Module Summary​

The Module Summary gives a high level overview of each Module/Town in the layout.

ColumnDescription
ModuleThe Module/Town.
OwnerThe Module/Town owner.
# Drop ZonesNumber of drop zones.
# ConsigneesNumber of consignees.
Total DemandThe total Demand of all equipment requests on the Module/Town.
# Car RequestsNumber of equipment requests.

Every Module/Town is listed, including those with no equipment requests.
