Selecting an icon with an employee name on the map opens the employee’s route details.

Employee route details

Employee route details may be opened in one of the two ways:

• By selecting an employee icon on the map
• By selecting a given route in the route list

Legend:

Route Start – the beginning of a route; the starting place of a given employee

Completed Appointment – an appointment is marked on the map as completed after performing synchronization on the mobile device

Scheduled Appointment – a planned appointment that has not been completed yet or whose status has not been synchronized on the mobile device

Uncompleted Appointment – a scheduled appointment that has been rejected or suspended for the time being; the status is only visible following synchronization on the mobile device

 or Appointment End – the last appointment registered on a given day

Completed appointments are marked on the map in green. The routes of scheduled appointments are marked with a blue line.

The left-hand side of the screen contains a list with detailed information about a given route, presenting all appointments scheduled or completed on a given day. Between the markers are determined travels. The first travel of a given day is determined from the start address (the starting place of a given employee).

Route details present information on a route’s distance and appointment start time and duration. In the case of scheduled routes, the application displays information on distance and the scheduled appointment start time and duration.

Below the route details, there is a route summary. Clicking the Route Details section collapses it and expands the summary.

Employee route summary

The upper part of the screen contains the data of an employee whose route has been selected and the buttons [Save as Template] and [Copy], that can be used to save a given route as a template for possible later use or to copy the selected route to another day.

The summary contains the following information:

• Route Distance – the total duration of all travels (concerning the scheduled route)
• Travel Duration – the total time of travel (concerning the scheduled route)
• Total Appointment Duration – the total time spent on appointments

Travel details provide information on the scheduled distance and appointment start and end time. For scheduled routes, the application displays information on distance and scheduled appointment start and end time.

Copying

Selecting the [Copy] button displays a window enabling the user to define a day to which an appointment is to be copied and to specify additional parameters:

• Copy appointment templates (unselected by default) – if the parameter is not selected, appointments will be scheduled without templates
• Copy as confirmed (selected by default) – if the parameter is selected, appointments will be scheduled with the status Confirmed; otherwise, they will be assigned the status Unconfirmed

If there are any other appointments scheduled on a given day, the application displays the following notification:
