Once a network topology has been generated, the program will automatically ask if it should be loaded and linked to the layer. This option is also available from the Network menu under Load topology from previously generated network. It is not necessary to generate topology each time the layer is used; if the topology has previously been generated then it can be loaded directly.
In the window that appears select the field to use for generating reports and press the OK button.
If the table contains a field called Name then this field is selected by default. If there is no field called Name in the table then the first field of type string will be pre-selected.
At this point the program is ready to calculate routes.
