Create a Route

Once you've added jobs to the schedule, ServiceCore lets you establish routes to help save you time.

Routes allow you to group together jobs which repeat once a week, while adding destinations and departure times. Routes can be optimized, or saved in your preferred order so that every week they repeat in the same exact order. 

In this article we'll walk through the steps to Create a Route.

FAQs

How do I change the order of jobs on the route?

While adding or editing an existing route, scroll to the View Jobs and Optimize Route section. Find the job you want to move around and click the grid panel to the left of the job. Once you click, grab and drag the job to the desired spot on the list.

How do I make my route start and end at the same place?

Create a destination on your schedule, then when you create a route you can add it as the start and end destinations for that route.

Does the saved route feature allow me to include jobs that are set for every other week?

No. Saved routes only accommodate jobs that repeat 1x per week every week.
