Fleet Data

3. Use +Add Filter to filter on route num, customer type, chain, or on/off-premise
4. After the data loads, customers can be unassigned for routes or service patterns.
Unassigning a customer from a route just flags the customer as unassigned in the strategic planner and the customer gets placed on any route. If a customer has to be on a specific route number, do not unassign them.
Unassigning a customer from a service pattern will qualify that customer to be eligible to be routed on any day and any week. If a customer must be on their current day or specific week, do not unassign them
