Round Trip Cycles
Previous  Top  Next


Provides a view with fields primarily oriented to the Cycle records in RMS. However, this view links the loaded cycle with its following empty cycle to show a complete round trip. A cycle is a record created by RMS that is derived from the sighting (CLM) records that are imported in RMS. RMS derives these records so that reports based on this type of information will open in a reasonable amount of time (i.e. a few seconds to a few minutes).
