This form is used to manage fixed or static service stops. Each site can be assigned any number of entries, i.e., once, twice a week service.
Required Fields
The only required field is site number. In order for the site to appear on the service routes, at least one unit must be assigned to the site.
The remainder of the fields can be either manually entered here, or you can use the Dispatch Service Stop form to set the route, stop and route day with the aid of mapping tools.
Deletion Limits
None
Manual Routing
You can manually enter the route, day , and stop information here. You may also use the Service Route Search and double-click an entry to bring this form up. You can then enter the route, day and stop for the service route you want to assign the site to.
Recommend Button
The Recommend button is an aid to manual routing, and offers you the option to bring up all stops or stops associated with a specific route. You can then use the sort column capabilities to find the stops in the same area.
When you double-click on a row in the list of stops, the route number and route day are automatically populated to match the existing service stop selected.
Graphical Routing
With the optional mapping tools, you can assign a service stop to a route graphically. Leave the service stop fields blank, and use the main Menu Dispatch /Service Routes. This will display un-routed and routed stops on a map. You can then use the lasso tool or grid right-click action menu to assign the stop to a route that is closest to the new stop.
