Auto-Assigning Stops

Auto-assigning Stops tries to assign Stops to the best Route. Users can also select a subset of Routes to auto-assign Unassigned Stops to.

Users can choose to auto-assign:

·        all Stops to any available Route

·        selected Stops to any available Route

·        all Stops to selected Routes

·        selected Stops to selected Routes

Ü   Note&emdash; Descartes Route Planner may not be able to assign some Stops if it cannot find any Routes that can service the Stop without violating a business rule. Users can manually assign the remaining Unassigned Stops to a Route.

After assigning a stop, 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.
