How to temporarily re-assign a Route User to a Route Stop in TheServiceProgram Online

It is often necessary to temporarily re-assign Route Stops for concerns such as employee call outs. The following steps will guide you through the process of re-assigning Route Users on the Route Schedule page.

 

Changing the Assigned User

 

Step 1: Navigate to the Route Schedule Page.01.png

Step 2: Under the 'Assigned To' column, change the Route User to the NEW temporary Route User.02.png

  • As soon as you make this change, the Route Stop will NO LONGER appear on the mobile app for the Route User that is under the 'Route' column, but WILL APPEAR on the mobile app for the Route User that is now under the 'Assigned To' column.

NOTE: Advancing the Route Schedule DOES NOT reset the 'Assigned To' column. This needs to be manually reset before you advance the Route Schedule using the steps below. Information about how to advance the Route Schedule can be found here.
