Route templates are the routes that you expect to assign often to vehicles. Therefore, Frotcom allows you to store those routes' definitions and reuse them whenever needed.
After creating the route template, you are able to assign it to vehicles as often as you need. To visualize all existing Route templates, go to Routes panel, by clicking on More > Routes:
The Routes panel will be available to you. After, click on the Template folder:
Here, all the already existing Route templates are listed.
The panel contains the following information:
| Column | Description |
| Route name |
This is the name or designation you gave to the route template. Note: by default, when the template is created, the route name will be the starting and ending points' addresses. |
| Code | Code to identify the route template. |
| Steps | Number of steps of the route template. |

The main panel contains the same information as the one displayed in the panel of the template creation:
| Field | Description |
| Route name |
Route template name. Note: By default, the name of the route will be the starting and ending points' addresses.
