When managing large sets of routes, filtering and grouping tools help enterprise teams quickly find, organize, and analyze route data. This guide explains how to use filters, grouping options, view modes, and search on the Routes Page to efficiently review routes and gain clear operational insight.

Filtering And Grouping Routes – Customize Your Routes Database

Your Routes Page shows all routes in one place and includes tools to sort, filter, and group them. Filters help you narrow the list by attributes like User or Status, while grouping organizes routes by shared values such as Vehicle or Facility.

In addition, four View Modes change how your Routes List is organized, letting you focus on creation dates, start dates, or operational exceptions. Combined with filters and grouping, View Modes make it easier to find, review, and manage routes.

To open your Routes Page, go to “Dynamic Routing” > “Routes” from the Navigation Menu or click the button below.

Using View Modes – Switch Between Four Route Layouts

View modes automatically sort, group, or filter your Routes List around start dates, creation dates, or operational exceptions. Route4Me offers four such modes: Recently Created, Dispatch Mode, Exception Management, and All Routes.

Dispatch Mode groups routes by scheduled start date, and Recently Created sorts them by created date. Exception Management shows routes with delays, missed commitments, or failed stops, while All Routes displays your full inventory.

Learn more about each in our dedicated guide to Routes List View Modes.

Adjust Routes List view modes to reorganize how routes appear in your Routes List.

  4. Click “Apply” to display only routes that match your criteria.
