# Interchanges

> Review interchange consists, receive inbound cars, and create a manual interchange in ARMS Mobile.

Use **Interchanges** to see inbound and outbound trains, bring cars online, and create a manual interchange when the consist is not already in the app.

## Open the Interchanges screen

Tap **Interchanges** in the bottom tab bar. If it is not there, tap **More**, then choose **Interchanges**.

</Frame>

* The top of the screen shows the most recent interchanges.
* Use **Today / Week / Month**, **Inbound / Outbound**, and search by car number or train ID to narrow the list. Tap **More Filters** for additional options.
* Each card shows the train ID, the route (from → to), totals (**L** = loaded, **E** = empty), the lead car, and the time.
* Tap any card to open its details.

## View interchange details

The compact view is the default — one line per car.

2. **Length and tonnage** for the whole interchange, plus the connecting road, station, and service level.
3. Tap the view-toggle icon on the left of the yellow selection bar to switch to the expanded view.

## Receive an interchange

Bring selected cars online with **Inbound Interchange**. Unchecked cars are left off the consist.

  <Step title="Select the cars to receive">
    By default no cars are selected. Tap **Select All** to take everything, or tap individual checkboxes to pick specific cars.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Exclude cars you do not want">
    If a few cars are missing, damaged, or not yours, leave them unchecked. Only checked cars are included.

    <Frame caption="Select All picked every car. Clear removes the selection. Unchecked rows will not be received.">
