Archive and find routes

Two smaller jobs live on the Routes tab alongside building and dispatching: setting a route aside when you don't want it anymore, and cutting through the clutter a routed order leaves behind on your orders list. Neither one touches dispatch. Archiving clears a route off your working list without losing the orders in it, and the Without Route filter is how you find the orders that still need grouping once routes are in play.

Archive routes

From the Routes tab, select one or more routes you no longer need — a draft that didn't pan out, a duplicate, something you built by mistake — and choose Archive Routes.

Archiving is reversible. It isn't a delete: it marks the route archived and takes it off your active working list, and it releases the orders that were on it. Those orders aren't canceled or lost — they go back to being unrouted, ready for you to group into a different route or dispatch on their own, the same as any other order that was never routed.

Use Archive Routes when a route stops being useful as-is but the orders in it still need to go out. If you want to send the work differently — split across smaller routes, grouped with other orders, or dispatched individually — archive the route first, then work with the orders it hands back.

Archiving works the same way whether you're clearing out a single leftover draft or a handful at once — select the routes on the Routes tab and choose Archive Routes for all of them together. It only ever affects the routes you've selected, so archiving one route doesn't touch anything else you've built or any other route's orders.

Find and hide routed work — the Without Route filter

Adding an order to a route doesn't change its status, so a routed order keeps showing up in your Ready-to-Dispatch list right alongside orders that haven't been grouped at all — see How routes work for why that happens. Once you're building routes regularly, that can make the orders list noisy: orders you've already committed to a route sitting next to the ones that still need a decision.

The Without Route filter on the orders list fixes that. Turn it on and the list narrows to orders that aren't attached to any route — the ones that genuinely still need grouping or dispatching on their own. It hides everything already sitting on a route, so what's left is exactly the work you have left to plan.

Reach for Without Route whenever you want the orders list to answer "what still needs a routing decision" instead of "every order, routed or not." It's the fastest way to see what's left after a round of building or optimizing routes, and the natural starting point the next time you group a batch of orders — see Build a route from orders for the two ways to turn that unrouted work into a route.

Availability

Archiving routes and the Without Route filter depend on whether your organization has routes enabled. If you don't see them, availability varies by org — reach out to Nash.
