How to set up rules and constraints

You can decide if you want Routific to respect the constraints you’ve set up, or break them.

Click the gear icon on the left to access your Settings

Click Preferences

A closer look

Let’s take a closer look at those rules or constraints we’ve set up:

• Learn how to set route capacities and route shift times here.

• Learn about delivery time windows here.

When constraints are violated

When you allow Routific to break a rule you set —such as route shift time, route capacity, or delivery time windows—we’ll flag it so you’re aware.

Constraint	What you’ll see
Route shift time Route capacity	If the route’s shift time is exceeded or the vehicle is overcapacity, a yellow ring will appear around the clock or package icon.
Delivery time window	An icon in the timeline and a circular icon beside the order in route details (list view).

What you can do next

Choose one of the following options:

1. Accept the plan as-is
   Publish and assign the routes if the violations are okay for your operation.

2. Fix the violations

   • Unschedule one or more orders.

   • Adjust shift times for the route.

   • Rearrange orders until all constraints are met

3. Go to Settings > Preferences and choose to toggle on/off the constraints.
