Improvements to route export, driver tasks & custom items

Route Export:

When exporting multiple routes from the Route History page, you can now include Route ID as a variable in your exports:

The Export dialog set to Route data, with Route ID ticked beside Name among the route fields and Copy to clipboard and Download as CSV buttons

Note that the Route ID will be a permanent alphanumeric string generated by EasyRoutes on route creation; this will differ from a route's Name variable which can be freely edited without affecting the Route ID. This export variable can be particularly useful when route names may repeat or overlap across multiple delivery periods:

Custom Items:

When adding custom items to a stop, you can now specify the weight of that item. This weight value will then be included when exporting or printing a route, and will also count against any maximum weight restrictions enabled for your route:

Driver Tasks:

You can now use the dragging handles on each individual Task item to re-sort their order. Tasks will display in the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver mobile app in the same order they're configured in your Route Options:
