Find routes in Execute

Execute lists every dispatched route in the date range you pick, and keeps that list current on its own. This article covers the controls along the top of the page for cutting that list down to the routes you need right now: the date range, search, filters, the Table, Map and Timeline views, columns, and the timezone times are shown in. For what Execute is and who can open it, see the Execute overview.

Start from the date range

Execute opens on Today each time you come to it fresh, so the first thing you see is the work in front of you. Use the date range picker in the toolbar to look at another day or a longer stretch. Two things can open the page on something other than Today: a link a teammate shared with you, and a default view you've set for yourself (see Save and share Execute views).

The queue refreshes itself every 30 seconds, so a route that changes status or picks up a problem moves without you reloading. The refresh button at the end of the toolbar fetches straight away.

Search for a route

Type in the search box (it reads "Search route, driver, region") and press Enter. Search is the fastest way to a route you already know something about — its name, the driver on it, or the area it covers. Clear the box to go back to the full list.

Filter the queue

Select Filters to open the filter panel beside the queue. The panel is grouped by what you're filtering on:

• Route operations — Route Status, Stop Status, Custom Events, Shift Name and Optimization Strategy.
• Assignment — Provider, Driver Groups and Courier.
• Orders & locations — Order Tags, Organization, Pickup Business, Dropoff Business, City, State and Country.
• Package — Package Value (a minimum and a maximum), Package Requirements and Package Tags.

When exception handling is on for your organization, an Exceptions group sits at the top of the panel, with Severity, Trigger Type, Exception Status and Assignee. The severity pills above the queue filter by severity too. See the Exceptions overview for what those mean.

Most sections list the values that appear on your routes, so you pick rather than type. Filters in different sections combine: a route has to match every section you've set. The Filters button shows how many filters are active, and Reset filters at the top of the panel clears them all.

Choose how to look at the routes

The view switch at the start of the toolbar moves between three ways of looking at the same filtered set of routes. Map and Timeline are on for most organizations; if you only see the table, availability varies — reach out to Nash.

• Table — one row per route, a page at a time. This is where you edit driver, vehicle and provider in place and choose columns. Execute keeps the routes that need attention at the top: by severity when exception handling is on, and newest first otherwise.
• Map — the routes and their drivers on a map, up to 1,000 routes at once. Layers add live traffic, gas stations and EV charging points, and the legend separates completed stops from remaining ones. Selecting a route opens its panel beside the map.
• Timeline — a day view of up to 200 routes, one bar per route. Each bar breaks into drive, service and waiting time; shaded bands show each stop's promise window and dots show arrivals, so a route running past its windows or its shift end stands out. Select a route to inspect it.

Selecting a route in any view opens its route panel, where the actions in Change a live route live.

Choose your columns

In the Table view, Columns opens the column list. Turn columns on or off and drag them into the order you want. Status and Pickup stay pinned at the front. The heading shows how many columns are showing, and a badge counts the hidden ones. The Execute fields reference describes what each column shows.

Pick the timezone for times

The gear button opens Table settings. Under Timezone, choose where every time on the page renders — pickup times, ETAs and the rest:

• My timezone — your computer's timezone. This is the default.
• UTC.
• Operational — any other timezone you pick from the list, such as the one your depot runs on.

The same popover has Show map in panel by default, which opens each route's map as soon as you open the route. Inside a route panel, a separate switch moves that route's times between the route's own timezone and yours.

When nothing matches

If the queue comes back empty, the message tells you why:

• No routes match these filters — your search or filters rule out every route in the date range. The message suggests what to loosen, and Clear filters clears the search and every filter, including severity, in one step. It keeps your date range.
• No routes for this period — nothing is filtered, and no routes were dispatched in the date range. Pick a different range.
• All clear — no flagged routes — the same situation for organizations with exception handling.

Share what you're looking at

Your date range, search, filters, columns and view are part of the page's web address. Copy the address from your browser and a teammate who opens it sees the same slice of routes, and your browser's back button steps back through your filter changes. To keep a slice you come back to often, save it as a view — see Save and share Execute views.
