To open the Route Snapshot of any planned and optimized route, go to “Dynamic Routing” > “Routes” from the Navigation Menu to open the Routes Page. Then, click “Open” next to a route.

From the Snapshot, you can access the Route Editor, where you can make route adjustments, or click “Edit Route” to assign a User, Vehicle, and Facility, dispatch the route, and execute other route management tasks.
Route Details Summary – Dynamic Map And Route Information Panel
On the left, you can find the Route Summary. The map shows the route’s planned path, including the sequence of destinations. Hover your cursor over any destination to see a summary of its most relevant details.
Below the map, you can find information such as the route’s status, on which date it was scheduled, the assigned user and vehicle, the date the route is scheduled for, etc.
Additionally, you can click the Go-to Icon next to each field to open the respective Route4Me interface. If a field has no associated value or asset, you can click “Assign” to assign one.
