How to specify the Depot (Departure Address) in the upload spreadsheet?

To specify the preferred Departure Address (Depot) in the spreadsheet that you are uploading into the system:

1. Ensure that the Find Address field in the Departure tab is empty and specify the rest of the route parameters to your preference and proceed.

2. Next, upload your spreadsheet with the addresses that you want to use for planning one or multiple routes.

NOTE: To set up a specific address in the spreadsheet you are uploading as the Departure Address, in addition to the obligatory Address column, you need to add the Depot column. In the Depot column, mark the address that you want to set up as the Departure Address (Depot) with Yes, and all other addresses with No (or the system will mark all Non-Depot Addresses with No automatically).

3. In the Verify Addresses on Map window, the address that was marked as the Depot in the uploaded spreadsheet will be displayed as the first address on the list and as a Depot icon on the map.

4. Once the route is planned, this route will start from the Departure Address that was marked as the Depot in the uploaded spreadsheet.                                                                                                                                                 

NOTE: If the route is optimized with the Roundtrip optimization parameter, this route will start and end at the same Departure Address (Depot). If you have planned multiple routes from a single address import using the Multiple Drivers Route optimization type, all planned routes will start from the same Departure Address (Depot).
