This article will explain the tools available in the TeleRoute map and how to use them.

Before You Begin

You must have TeleRoute.

Context

Provides background information--what's it for, and what will they gain by doing it correctly. Should not be used as a replacement for a full concept topic.

Draw a Map Boundary from an Existing Route

  1. Open the Large Map. You can open the map by clicking TeleRoute > Routes > Show a Route and entering one of your routes. The map can also be opened from a container placement, the Teleroute button, the Dispatch window, the Map tab on a customer account, etc.
  2. Click the boundary button at top right , then choose whether to draw a Polygon or a Circle.

    For a Polygon:

    1. Click a point on the map to begin. Think of this as the first point of the shape you're drawing.
    2. Move your mouse and click again. This creates a line between the two points.
    3. Repeat as needed, drawing lines around the area you want to capture. Do not cross back over any lines you've already created.
    4. End by clicking back on the initial point to create an enclosed shape.

      5. For a Circle:

    1. Click the center of the area you want to circle.
    2. Move your mouse to make the circle wider.
    3. When the circle is the size you want it click the mouse.
  3. A window appears. Click in the "Enter Boundary Name" field and enter what you want to call this area.
  4. Click OK.
  5. A window appears reading "Boundary saved successfully!" and the boundary menu changes to show the boundary name and a list of available functions. Click OK to finish.
