Selecting the country before applying more filters to search is required. The country drop-down is a multi-select drop-down field:
Click on the country name to select one or more countries in a search. The selected countries are marked in the drop-down list with a “tick” in front of the country name, and the counter also shows the number of selected countries.

It lists all distance pairs where the given PLC can be found.
Search by Valid From/To fields is also possible, it will list all valid operation points in the specific period. To adjust the From/TO dates you have to properly apply the dates on the calendar tool.
Note: if you make a search criteria set for the past and you still do not see a difference in the result grid it is because those operation points are still valid (To date = 2999).
6. EDIT
Generally, the distances are imported with the PaP import sheet. You can edit existing operation point pairs to correct the existing milage (KM) values if there is need to correct it.
Press “Edit” to edit the existing pairs in the edit view
4. Update the values that you wish:
- Location (From)
- Location (To)
- Distance
The “Distance” is shown in the decimal format up to 3 digits in KiloMeter.
Note: if you overwrite the Location (From) or Location (To) values already existing distance pairs will change the PAMT report calculations and old value will disappear from the system.
E.g: the Hamburg-Rahlstedt – Martinroda distance pair will update the Location (From) value to Hamburg- Airport then the Hamburg-Rahlstedt – Martinroda pair not be available in the system anymore.
