Merge Routes From Routes List – Combine And Optimize Routes
To merge routes from your Routes List, go to “Operations” in the Navigation Menu and click “Routes“. Then, in your Routes Lists, check the boxes next to the routes you wish to merge.
Once you’ve done that, click on “Bulk Actions” and select “Merge Selected Routes“.
In the “Merge Routes” editor panel, you can specify a Departure Address by entering it into the designated field. When finished, click “Remove Sub Routes Origin Addresses” and hit “Merge” to finalize.
If you do not enter a new Departure Address, Route4Me will automatically select the Departure Address of the first sub-route selected for merging. To use the Departure Address from a different sub-route, simply drag it to the top of the sequence.
When finished, the merged route will appear in your Routes List ready for immediate dispatch. You can rename it by clicking the Down Arrow button and selecting “Rename“.
You can also assign a Vehicle and User to the route from the Down Arrow menu. If you do not assign a User or Vehicle, the User and Vehicle from the first selected sub-route will be assigned.
