Upload Schedules – Import Recurring Schedules To Address Book Map

Customer visitation schedules can vary widely, from weekly and monthly patterns to fully customized intervals. For subscription-based services in particular, it’s essential to keep these recurring visits consistent and accurate. With Route4Me’s Address Book Recurring Schedules, you can define repeat visitation patterns for each customer directly in your Address Book. These schedules serve as the foundation for building efficient, time-sensitive routes. Use this guide to learn how to create, manage, and apply recurring schedules to streamline your route planning.

Add Recurring Schedule To Individual Addresses

To add a recurring schedule to an address, you first need to enter the address into your Address Book Map. To access your Address Book Map, click “Customers” in the Navigation Menu and select “Address Book Map“.

Then, click “File” in the Toolbar and select “Add Address”. Once the address is added, an address pin will appear on the map. Click on the address pin and select “Edit” from the menu to open the “Edit Address” pop up.

Open Address Book Map

From the “Edit Address” pop up, open the “Schedule” tab and click “Add New Schedule“. You will then be prompted to specify the schedule’s frequency and start date. Be sure to click “Enabled” before clicking “OK“.

Upload Recurring Schedules For Multiple Addresses

You can also add schedules to multiple addresses. To do this, click “File” in the Toolbar and select “Upload Addresses” to upload a spreadsheet. Once uploaded, address pins for each address will appear on the map.

Your spreadsheet must include Aliases, Addresses, and Latitude and Longitude coordinates. It must also contain scheduling information in order to set up recurring schedules.

If you don’t know the coordinates, you can upload an address spreadsheet into your Synced Address Book and Route4Me will geocode the addresses for you. Then, simply export the new spreadsheet with geocoded addresses and re-upload it. Be sure to delete those addresses from your Address Book to avoid duplicating them when you re-upload the spreadsheet.

Edit Planned Recurring Schedules

You can view and edit any recurring schedule you’ve added or uploaded. Simply right click on an Address Pin and select “Edit“. Then, from the “Edit Schedule” pop up, open the “Schedule” tab to view the existing recurring schedule. Click “Edit” to modify.
