Manually register scheduled itineraries

Scheduled itineraries are for when visits do not fit into the periodic itineraries. There is no limit to how many points of sales can be included in scheduled itineraries, however the system does not allow the same POS to be listed for a visit in both itineraries.

For example, if employee James has a weekly periodic schedule that he already executes but needs to make an individual visit to a point of sale, he will create a scheduled itinerary for this individual visit. 

Manual itinerary registration is done in the Itinerary and Visits feature, on the path:

Menu > Itineraries and Visits > Itineraries

To register or edit a new itinerary, click on the name of the employee and after click on the Edit button, on the lower right-hand side of the screen. You will be taken to the Itinerary page, to specifically edit this employee, following these steps:

1. Select the Scheduled Itineraries.
2. Choose if you wish to register an itinerary in a Calendar or Visit on any date.
3. Select the points of sale that will become a part of this itinerary.

CHOOSE THE TYPE OF ITINERARY

At the top of the screen you will find the name and picture of the employee, followed by the itinerary type, whether periodic or scheduled. In this case, select the Scheduled Iitineraries. Remember that the system does not allow the same POS to be listed for scheduled and periodic visits.

When using the calendar, you have three registration possibilities:

• Route planning using a map
• Edit itinerary or Add Itinerary
• Schedule visits that will be repeated

When choosing Route planning using a map you will be taken to the Map page, where you can navigate using Google Maps. Remember that for this action, the points of sale must be georeferenced in your records, otherwise they will not appear on the map for selection.
