The Route planning module uses the “planning” tab on each task in the Tasks module. Below is an image that illustrates the information required by Route planning. Each task is assigned to a user, which can be selected in Route planning. Splitting tasks between users in Route planning with the right profile settings is possible. The duration of the task is deduced from the given time window. The route planning only enforces the date, start, and end time when the “Locked” ticker is marked and the right profile settings are chosen.
Example: A task is set to 2023-03-02, Start time 08:00, End time 08:30, and the locked ticker is marked. In all cases, the task is set to take 30 minutes which is induced from the Start and End time.
Case one: In profile settings, Locked plannings is set to ignore → The planning algorithm will plan the task on any day at any time within the driver's work schedule.
Case two: In profile settings, Locked plannings is set to Same day → The planning algorithm will plan the task on the specified date 2023-03-02, at any time within the driver's work schedule.
Case three: In profile settings, Locked plannings is set to Same day and time → The planning algorithm will plan the task on the specified date 2023-03-02 at 08:00 to 08:30.
See profile settings under the “Profiles” heading.
In the Task module, you will find a tab, Restrictions. This allows you to specify various restrictions for the tasks that are used by the route planner, e.g. that the task should only be planned on certain weekdays. Note: This may not be working when using the new algorithm.
