Routes: statuses and editing restrictions

 We received many requests to add functionality that would prohibit making changes to routes, for example, after they have been approved. We have added this feature. The new system of restrictions and prohibitions of editing routes can be customized by the administrator individually for his own, already established, processes. Choosing one or another status, you can completely or partially prohibit editing routes by users. As a result, from such a route it will no longer be possible, for example, to delete points, change the order of visiting them, etc.:

Ant-logistics

By going to the Route Statuses directory, you can use statuses by setting up prohibitions and accesses in them. Let's consider an example of editing the Verified status. To do this, double-click on it, and in the Name field change the name to Waiting for verification:

Ant-logistics

Going to the Forbidden tab, we will set restrictions on the execution of actions to edit the route to which this status will be assigned. For example, let's choose 2 prohibitions: Delete route and Remove points fom the route. 

Ant-logistics

The last tab is Access, here you can restrict the logistician's rights to change this route status. If you select a Logist, he will be able to change the status of the route to any other to which he has access. If you leave Administrator, the logist will not be able to change this status. In this example, we will prohibit the logist from changing this route status:

Ant-logistics

After pressing the OK button, the changes made are saved:

Ant-logistics

Now let's go to Routes, double-click on the route that needs to be changed to the status Waiting for verification. Set this status in the Route status field, and save the changes by clicking OK:

Ant-logistics

Now any user who has access to this route through the web service will not be able to remove points from it and will also not be able to delete this route:

Ant-logistics

If a user with Logist access tries to change this status, such an attempt will be blocked, and a corresponding notification will be displayed on the screen:

Ant-logistics

According to the described principle, you can edit other statuses, or create your own, giving them your own names, setting up prohibitions and accesses to change statuses.

If you are interested in the described functionality, we are ready to demonstrate its operation, perform the necessary settings and provide access to the service. To do this, leave a request on the ANT-Logistics website.

Routes by delivery groups. Set up once and use.

Image
 Previously, we described how to use the Delivery Groups tool, link vehicles to a specific service area, and calculate routes for different geo-zones. This is convenient, but not in all cases. For example, for the delivery of large-sized goods, it is necessary to use trucks, while targeted deliveries of small-sized goods are handled much more efficiently by more maneuverable and economical cars. Also, there are often situations when it is not necessary to do the division into routes - it has already been done in another program and you just need to correctly display real routes, calculate time and mileage. In this article, we will look at how to use delivery groups in combination with sales point groups and calculate routes for these groups. We consider that the division into routes is made in the user program and uploaded to the  sales point group field . We need to take into account this division on the ANT-Logistics service. In the directories, select Sales point groups , then press
