Working hours
Working hours are used in routing, calendar-based planning, and when planning regular visits:
When building optimized routes, for yourself or your team, or when planning regular visits, Mapsly will ensure that all visits are planned within working hours.
βWhen planning meetings in Mapsly calendar view, Mapsly ensures that they are planned within working hours and the allowed overtime set in the Allowed overtime (calendar) parameter.
Exceptions
You may override default working hours for a particular time period by creating an "exception".
To access Exceptions, press the Exceptions button:
You will see existing exceptions split into the list of current/future exceptions, and past exceptions:
To create an exception, press Add exception, and indicate the exception's period, target working hours, and β optionally β the allowed overtime, and break:
Start location
Enter your preferred starting location that will be selected when you press the Home icon in the route's Start location here:
You can enter an address or GPS coordinates.
This starting location will also be used when planning regular visits.
Finish location
Enter your preferred finish location that will be selected when you press the Finish icon in the route here:
You can enter an address or GPS coordinates.
This finish location will also be used when planning regular visits.
Default meeting duration
When planning a route, Mapsly will reserve this amount of meeting/service time for every activity that doesn't have a calendar event. For an activity with a related calendar event Mapsly will use the meeting duration in the calendar instead of the default duration.
Please note that apart from the event duration, the total time per activity will also include departure delay, so the planned departure time from a activity locations equals to the planned arrival time + Meeting duration + Departure delay.
Departure delay
Time reserved to depart from activity location after the meeting/service. When planning a route, Mapsly will add this amount of time to the total time at every activity, both with a related calendar meeting and without one, so your planned departure time from the activity equals to planned arrival time + meeting duration + departure delay.
Navigation app
Pick your preferred navigation app. Unlike other Traveling preferences settings, this setting is stored on each device, so you can have different preferred navigation apps on different devices.
