Freezing Routes

Users can choose to freeze a Route so that its information will not be optimized when optimization is performed.

To freeze Routes:

1   On the Routes quadrant, select the Routes you want to freeze on the schedule.

i  Tip&emdash;  You can select a single Route, several Routes that are side-by-side, Routes that are not side-by-side, or all Routes in the schedule.

2   Right-click on a selected Route and select Freeze Route from the right-click menu. The FreezeInd column displays as True as shown below.

Ü Note― If a frozen route is published and then a dispatcher tries to change it after it has been published, the route cannot be changed until it is unfrozen. See Publishing Routes for more information.

 Note&emdash; Using the quadrant Filter window, users can filter out frozen routes from the Dashboard with the FreezeInd filter attribute.

To unfreeze a route

·        Right-click on a frozen route in the Routes quadrant and select Unfreeze Route. The FreezeInd column displays as False.
