Product Updates

We've updated the Routes page filtering options so that any applied search terms or filters will persist, even after viewing routes or clicking into another EasyRoutes page, making it easier to make batch edits to routes without having to manually re-apply filters.

By default, the Routes page will load with the Updated last 30 days filter applied. Input any search terms and/or use the Add filter button to activate any combination of Status, Start date, Driver, or Created on filters; the list of matching routes below will update immediately. When you click into any of the routes displayed (or navigate elsewhere within EasyRoutes) and return to the Routes page, the same set of filters will now still be applied:

Note that any applied Route filters will be reset to the default Updated last 30 days when you refresh EasyRoutes, navigate outside of EasyRoutes on Shopify, or close the app and re-open it.

We've added a new feature that allows route planners to mark stops as Priority stops.

When used in combination with certain Route Options that place limits on a route - such as max route duration, max items per stop or max stops per route - Priority stops will be given first consideration for inclusion in a route, better ensuring they're not excluded when route capacities are reached.

You can mark or unmark a stop as Priority from the Add Stop or Edit Stop menus, under the Additional options panel:

Or, from the Stop actions menu from the route table or map view:

You can also change Priority status for a number of stops at once using the checkboxes on any Route page:

Stops marked as Priority will display in a manner that's clear to identify them on your Route table and stop list, with an outlined stop icon and unique badge when hovering over them on the route line or map:

• We've made some visual updates to the map view on Orders and Route pages, increasing readability and to align with EasyRoutes' recent Polaris 12 visual refresh.
• You can now include separate Billing name and Shipping name variables when exporting a route - particularly useful when the individual who purchased an order is not the delivery recipient (i.e. gift orders):

• Improved handling of Driver Tasks editing and saving workflows for additional ease-of-use and consistency with other Route Options.
• Fix for issue where AM/PM time designations would not display properly under certain locale-specific conditions.

Route Export:

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

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:
