The Suggest function allows for a mix of auto-assignment and manual assignment of Unassigned Stops. When the Suggest function is executed, the application provides the user with a list of suggested assignments from which the user can select the one that is most desirable.
When users select one or more routes from the Routes or Route Detail quadrants to display on the map, the system will retain the display for Suggest purposes so that, when a user selects Suggest for an unassigned stop, and then selects Display on Map, the system displays all previously selected routes on the map along with the suggested route containing the unassigned stop.
When user clicks one of suggestions and from right click menu selects Show on Map all previously selected (remembered) Routes are displayed as well as the Route containing the Unassigned Stop. If no routes are displayed on the map, only one route will appear on the map when the Suggest is performed.
To use the Suggest function:
1 Select one or more Stops from the Unassigned Stops quadrant.
2 Right-click one of the desired Stops and from the right-click menu, select Suggest.
The length of time required to compile the suggestion list depends largely on the number of Stops selected for suggesting. When complete, a list similar to the one below appears:
3 Select the desired suggested assignment by double-clicking.
A new page appears with the details concerning the assigned Stop details:
4 Click X to exit the window and return to the Home page.
