Route Properties – View And Manage Route Details In The Route Editor

Route Properties provide a centralized view of key route details directly within the Route Editor. From a single panel, you can review scheduling information, assigned users, vehicles, crews, and facilities, and manage route-level Custom Data. This makes it easier to understand how a route is configured and ensure all required information is correct before execution.
