Prestage Group form
You use the Prestage Group form to determine the prestage locations, or yard blocks, that will comprise the group. A prestage group consists of prestage areas that are defined separately as regular yard blocks and then assigned to tracks. N4 supports a maximum of 20 prestage locations per prestage group.
At automated terminals, for the RGC Scheduler to work, the prestage group needs to be assigned to the track plan and each prestage location needs to be defined in the prestage group.
To add or edit a prestage group:
In the Name field, enter a string of up to three characters.
Click Save.
The Prestage Locations tab (on page 1) becomes available.
Click to add prestage locations using the Prestage Location form (on page 1) or double-click an existing prestage location to edit it.
N4 allows you to include stack blocks in prestage groups.
Click Close.
