Associating alternative demand with a network

In order to view and edit Alternative Demand data, it can be associated with a network. To edit the Alternative Demand data, it must first be checked out.

1. First open a network. The network does not have to be checked out for Alternative Demand data to be edited. The check out state of the two items is completely independent.
2. Either drag the Alternative Demand set from the Model Group window and drop it on to the GeoPlan Window of the network, or, right click the Alternative Demand set and select Open from the context menu. When using the second method, if there is more than one network open, the Alternative Demand set will be associated with the current network.

If the Alternative Demand data contains data for a network object that does not exist in the network, the data for that object will be ignored.

Once Alternative Demand data has been associated with a network, it will be displayed on the grid views, and additional alternative demand pages will be added to the property sheets for objects that can have demand assigned to them.

If a new Alternative demand set is associated with a network that already has associated Alternative Demand, the new Alternative Demand will become associated with the network, and the existing Alternative Demand will be closed.
