- Click Monitor.
- Under Journey Management, click Workflow.
- Click Add journey,
(make sure you are on site level). - Enter the journey details and click Next.
- Select the asset and driver(s) and click Next.
- On the Route creation screen, select Specified for Will you use calculated times or specified times?
Due to complexities in the journey creation and its validations, the form will clear any data added when switching between Specified and Calculated times, or between an existing and new route. You will need to add the route details anew once the form is cleared.
- You can now add a departure time for your start location.
- If you select Return journey you must also select an arrival time.
- You can add specified times for each following location stop - for start locations, users will be able to add a departure time; for end locations, users will be able to specify an arrival time; for a stop or a waypoint, users can add the arrival and departure times.
Important notes:
- The time allowed for travel between stops are not currently being validated, i.e. the system does not compare time between stops when specified times are used with calculated map routing times. This will be addressed in a new streamlined journey creation screen to be released in future.
- The use of truck attributes is not affected by using specified times. Users can still use truck attributes for a new route, return journey or an existing route and routing will still take the maximum weight into account.
Various validations have been added on the form to warn you when:
- arrival and/or departure times overlap between stops.
- the arrival and departure time is the same when a stop type is selected.
- the departure time is less than the arrival time for a stop when a stop type is selected.
- the departure time is less than the arrival time for a waypoint.
- the arrival time for the end location is less than the departure time for the start location.
- the sequence of stops are changed and the arrival/departure times are not adjusted accordingly.
A few scenarios will not trigger validation errors:
- for a start location, the departure date and time is accepted as is, all subsequent times will be validated against the start location departure date and time.
- for a waypoint, when the arrival date and time is the same as the departure date and time. This is allowed when just passing through a point.
- for a stop type, when the departure date and time is at least one minute after the arrival date and time.
