Tim,
I added the missing block name between the top left and center masts and the connection information re-appeared. I deleted and re-generated the SML and the 4 masts now work as expected.
The block boundary for mast "UM 5 / 1 : 3" is after the turnout. This means that turnout SW03 only affects mast "UM 1:1 / 5¡±.

Tim,
Here is what I see.
? There are 3 track segments without blocks assigned.
? The left and center top masts don¡¯t appear to be attached to any block boundaries.
? The right top mast is the only one with any SML content.
? The bottom mast has a SML entry but no content.
My policy is that turnouts get their own block assignment. This provides 3 block boundaries for attaching signal masts that protect the turnout.
Before trying to setup dispatcher, it works best to have the blocks and signal masts completed and working. Since I normally am running in simulation mode, I add the occupancy sensors to the panel. This facilities the signal testing.
Think of this as layers: track > blocks > signaling > sections > transits. Each layer should be complete before moving to the next one.
There is also a tool in the signal mast logic table to generate sections and the direction sensors for each section based on the SML.

Afternoon,
I am struggling a bit with dispatcher, i seemed to get the error log down to just one error, I made some changes to try and resolve it and now i get 7 errors.

I don't understand what it means by an anchor point signal heads missing, each block boundary has a Signal Mast and associated heads defined and showing on the panel, i am also a bit perplexed as to the 2 turnouts missing signals, does every route into / out of a block need a signal defined? even though the movement would never happen (say the wrong way round a loop?
Any help and pointers would be amazing, i have uploaded my panel to the site here /g/jmriusers/files/Help/Hampsford_Layout.xml
Many thanks
Tim
