# Schedule Controls

Schedule Controls sets the Schedule (route and minimum quantity of goods and passengers required by a Convoy to proceed) for a Convoy or a Line.
It listsStops (where Convoys pick-up and drop-off goods and passengers) and waypoints (which can be used to direct Convoys to a path if more than one is available or provide interim destination points) with their map co-ordinates.

Schedule Controls for a Convoy opens from Schedule option-button in Convoy Information and Depot Controls.
Controls for the Schedule of a Line open from New Line and Update Line option-buttons in Line Management and Depot Controls.

When Schedule Controls is opened from Convoy Information the assigned Line (if any) is shown at top of controls.
Line Name: Click on left/right-arrow buttons by name to cycle through Lines or click on name-box to open a drop-down-list of Lines (click on Line in drop-down list to select).
Click on name-box and type new name to change name of Line.

Wait For: sets the minimum quantity of goods and passengers required by a Convoy to proceed. The percentage figure refers to the total capacity of the Convoy and not an indiviual type of item carried.
A Convoy will wait at Stop until required percentage is on board.
