Next, select the preferred status and then tap the respective “Mark As” button. For your convenience, stops statuses are generic and you can interpret them based on your specific business, routing, and operational requirements. Accordingly, the assigned stop statuses are displayed next to stops in the route’s stops list. By default, you can assign the Done and Failed statuses to route stop. To enable the Skipped status for your account, please contact Route4Me’s Customer Support Team.
