Tasks and locations
How saved locations, stops and tasks fit together, and how to add them in the app and on the website.
PathPilot is built from three things:
- A location is a saved place with a name and an address, like a customer or a depot.
- A stop is a location added to a run.
- A task is something to do at a stop. Every task has a type: Buy, Do, Pick up or Drop off.
Tasks always belong to a run. Add the location first, then add it to a run as a stop, then add tasks to the stop.
Save a location in the app
- Open the Locations tab.
- Tap Add. The Add location screen opens.
- Start typing the address and pick it from the list.
- Give it a Location name, then tap Save.
Save a location on the website
- Open Locations.
- Press the add location button.
- Enter a Name and an Address. You can also add a phone number, opening hours and service minutes for each place.
- Save the location.
Add a task in the app
- Open the run on the Runs tab.
- On the stop, tap Add task.
- Enter a Title, pick the Type and add Notes (optional) if you like.
- Tap Add task.
You can also tap New Task on the Dashboard. Choose the run and the stop, or pick a saved location under Or add a stop to add it to the run as a new stop.
Add a task on the website
- Open the run from Runs.
- On a stop, press Add task, enter the task and save it.
Unassigned tasks
Tasks that aren't in any run show in an Unassigned tasks card on the Runs tab. Use Move to a run to put one in a run, or delete it.
Plan limits
Saved locations and open tasks count toward your plan's limits. Done and archived tasks don't count. See Personal plans.
