This is an old revision of the document!


A location screen can be split into smaller pieces. This process is called subdividing a screen.

Reasons to subdivide location screens include:

  • Part of the material on that screen is in a separate location.
  • Part of the material is being allocated.
  • Part of the material needs to be invoiced.
Once a screen has been subdivided, it cannot be recombined. The only way to return the contract to its previous state is to manually change the units and weight on the original screen and delete the new screen.

Select Sub > Subdivide from the menu on the location screen.

Select Sub and Subdivide from the traffic screen menu.

You can either subdivide by units or by weight. Enter the amount to subdivide (move to a new screen) and pick Apply.

Enter the amount to subdivide and pick Apply.

CATS will show you what the new units and weight of the screen will be and what the change will be on the old screen. You can also change the weight that CATS will use on the new screen here.

Displaying the change that will take place after subdividing.

Select Continue from the toolbar menu above to proceed. []

You will be asked to confirm the subdivision of this screen.

Confirm or cancel subdividing this screen.

Select Yes to continue or No to cancel.

You can then select which marks (or parts of marks) should be moved to the new screen.

Moving Marks

From the location screen select Marks from the menu. []

Next, select Subdivide from the marks menu. Select one or more marks from the current screen to move to the new screen.

[]

CATS will calculate the total weight and units from the selected marks.
