    Note: When you select a row in a grid, some buttons may take on a grayed-out appearance, which means that you cannot use them. In the illustration above, the Delete Stop button is not available because the stop cannot be deleted.

  • The extended set of Stop buttons on the Stops tab

    image2

    Note: The extended Stop button set is active when you have [.NetMisc]OverrideAddStopInsertRemove=Y in your TTS50. For more details, see Working with the extended Stop button set.

  • Stop-related icons on the TripFolderToolbar

  • Right-click on a stop and select Add Stop, Insert Stop, or Remove Stop from the shortcut menu
