What is this?
The Customized Data Elements utility allows you to customize the data elements that are shown on the Release Railcars page. Each data element that you select will appear as an additional column on the Release Railcars page.
How do I select the data elements I want to see?
Available data elements are selected from the left and brought over to the Selected data elements box using the right arrow button. The order of your Selected data elements will determine the order (from left to right) that columns will appear on the Release Railcars page. Data elements can be re-ordered using the Up/Down arrows.
Selected data elements are removed by selecting from the right and hitting the left arrow button.
You may select multiple data elements using the SHIFT or CNTL key.
Buttons:
Save: Once display, print and download columns have been set, hit the Save key to have updates kept.
Cancel: Clear all activity since the last Save and return to SRO utilities menu.
*Note: The ability to print and download has been temporarily removed from Release Railcars. There is no need to customize data elements for print and download. If you have access to Order In and Switch Railcars, the Selected data elements will be the same.
