Manage Routes

To ensure that the scheduled arrival and departure data in Route Reports is as accurate as possible, you can edit any completed, in-process, or scheduled route to reflect changes to the trip or the route. For traceability, you can also Review the Stop Audit Log.

To edit arrival or departure trip details or to assign a driver or vehicle to a route, see Edit Trip Details. To edit the scheduled route details, see Edit a Planned Route.

Review the Stop Audit Log

Any change to the arrival status of a stop on a route, such as skipped or arrived, is logged in the route stop Audit Logs. This includes changes that are manually updated by the driver or fleet administrator or automatically detected by GPS location. The route stop Audit Logs provide a timeline of each status update so that you can monitor and review the timeline of any status changes.

For each status change, the Audit Logs display the following information:

Field	Description
Event	Description of the status change.
Event Time	Timestamp of the start of a status change.
Logged At	Timestamp of the completion of a status change.
Comment	For manually generated event, any additional notes provided for the status change.
Initiated By	Person or system that initiated the event, such as Admin or Automated Tracking.
Status	Stop status (Scheduled, Arrived, Skipped, EnRoute, Completed)

To view the Audit Log for a route stop:

1. Navigate to Dispatch ( ) > Routes.

2. Locate the route from the list.

   Narrow the scope of the results using the date selector at the top of the Routes report or by selecting tags.

3. Select the route to view the trip details.

   

4. Select the stop from the route and click View more details.

   

   The stop detail displays the Audit Logs below the Schedule details and Location map.
