Descartes Route Planner adds the Stop and renumbers the rest of the Stops on the Route.
i Tip - You can assign more than one Unassigned Stop. Make sure to select an assigned Stop first, and then select the sequence of Unassigned Stops in the order they should appear on the final Route. Only Unassigned Stops can be selected after setting the anchor point; however, you can resequence the Route after adding all of the Stops.
After any assignment, users can press CTRL-G to display the Optimization Before and After Results to evaluate the route, time and distance totals before and after the assignment. For more information, see the Viewing Before and After Results section.
