Templates and recurring runs
Save a run you repeat as a template, create runs from it in a tap, and schedule it to repeat on chosen weekdays.
A template is a run you can reuse: the same stops and tasks, without a date. Each time you need it, create a run from it.
Make a template
On the website:
- Open Runs and switch to the Templates tab.
- Press New template, name it, then add stops and tasks like a run.
Or turn an existing run into a template: open the run's menu on Runs and choose Make template.
In the app:
- Open the Runs tab and select Templates.
- Tap the plus button, enter a name and tap Create.
- Add stops and tasks the same way as for a run. See Create a run and add stops.
Create a run from a template
In the app:
- On the Runs tab, select Templates.
- On the template, tap Create run.
- Under Run date, pick Today, Tomorrow or another day.
- Tap Create run. The new run opens, ready to build its route.
On the website, open the template's menu on the Templates tab and choose Create run.
Repeat a template on a schedule (website)
- Open the template on the website.
- In the Recurring Schedule card, tick Enable recurring schedule.
- Choose the weekdays and the Time.
- For a company, you can pick a Default driver.
- Press Save.
The schedule uses your timezone, or your company's timezone.
- On a personal account, PathPilot creates a run from the template on each day you picked.
- In a company, a draft is created the day before at this time. Publish it to send it to the driver. See Dispatch and the live board.
Company templates
In a company, templates are shared. Only dispatchers and admins can change them. Drivers can still create runs from them.
