To make sure your route matches your delivery instructions, Circuit has a couple of options you can set up for any stop:
First/Auto/Last
Time Window
Stop Duration
First Auto Last
Use First/Auto/Last when a single or multiple stops absolutely have to be done at the beginning or end of your route
First: Stops marked as First will be placed at the start of the route
Auto: by default, all stops will be set to Auto. This means that Circuit will place them in the route wherever it's most efficient.
Last: Stops marked as Last will be placed at the end of the route
There is no min/max limit on the number of stops that can be marked as First/Last.
Time Windows
Use Time Windows when you need to be at a stop before, after or between specific time.
Arrive between Now and Anytime: The default setting. Circuit will place the stop in the route wherever it's more efficient
Arrive between 10AM and Anytime: In this example, Circuit will make sure you'll arrive at the stop any time after 10AM
Arrive between Now and 10AM: In this example, Circuit will make sure you'll arrive at the stop any time before 10AM
Stop Duration
To calculate accurate ETAs, Circuit needs to know how much time you'll spend at each stop. This is the amount of time between stopping your car for the delivery, and leaving again for the next delivery.
If you know a specific stop will take more or less time, you can use this option to add the correct duration.
You can change the default value in Circuit settings. Try doing this as accurately as possible. If it's off by even 1 or 2 minutes it can have a big impact on your ETAs.
