Terminate Train from Web Manifest Page #operationspro

 

Would it be possible to terminate a train from the manifest page on the web panel?
 
I run small enough trains that the Conductor panel is not necessary for me to complete a session, it just required me to click more.
 
 

If you enable Web frames, you can terminate your train from the Trains window in your browser. 
 
 
 

Thank you for the reply Dan
The reason I'm using the web view is because it's scalable and easier on the eye. And I prefer the manifest to the conductor because I don't need to click through each location.
Switching to the trains frame defeats both of these ideas.
 
I understand there may be a lack of interest in this feature, I assume there's no technical/operational reason that it can't be added?
Why does the manifest page have checkboxes?

Most operators when using a paper Manifest check off each car after the movement is complete.  The checkboxes replicate the pen and paper operation.

I don't understand.  With one click you can go to the Trains web window and build or terminate a train.
 
How are you building your trains?
 
You can move or terminate from the Trains window, or from the conductor windows.
 

If using the Trains frame, I may as well just use the application (the Operations web app is visually nicer)
 
If using the conductor, I have to click through each location (too many clicks)
 
I'm currently using an automation to build next trains as previous trains terminate. 
(I was surprised that there's no build option in the Operations web app) 
 
 
I've just found a workout. 
I can use an automation to build and terminate all trains in order. The web app can still show the manifest page for the previously terminated trains. I can hit back and move to the next manifest. 
 


There's another option, which is "build your own web-view page" with the features you want.   
Not quite as daunting as it may sound...

I wrote something about nine months ago, because I wanted to incorporate some RFID information into the way screens worked.  
The example is in the JMRI distribution, under "  JMRI/web/operations_RFID_trains.html  "    
That might have enough clues in it to allow you to produce your own version, tailored to your specific needs.

Hello Nigel 
While I can see how you terminate trains in your RFID code, I can’t see the function used for any other purposes in the operations.js. This leads me to assume it wouldn’t be a simple case of copy and pasting it in. 
anything other than that is outside my abilities unfortunately 
 
best regards

I've written a HTML page and will send it over.   Useful exercise for me to remind me how the code works !
