When optimizing routes in PRO Software, you may need to keep a specific stop in a fixed order. This feature is available for both static and scheduled routes, with slight variations in where the toggle button is found.
Why Keep a Stop in Place?
- Ensures locations remain on the route, even if temporarily closed (e.g., holidays or seasonal sites).
- Simplifies adding units back to a site when service resumes.
- Helps maintain consistency, especially during extended closures like those seen during COVID-19.
Steps to Keep a Stop in Place
- Open the "Scheduled Route" page and select the desired route.
- Click "Work Order Details" to view the stop information.
- Find the toggle button on the far right and switch it on to keep the stop in place.
By following these steps, you can ensure that essential stops remain on the route, even if temporarily inactive, allowing for seamless reactivation when needed.
