The buttons to the right of items show whether optimization settings are active (On) or inactive (Off).
Delays at stops or to vehicle returns can be accepted (Off) or respected (On).
It is possible to have the route starting or ending at the point furthest from the store (On) or to leave the optimization process to calculate.
Note
Optimization calculates the best route possible, minimizing costs. Depending on constraints and requirements, optimization may suggest waiting times, delayed starts etc.
The vehicle start time can be forced. This function implies that the vehicle start time (Time amplitude) is respected. Each route leaves at the vehicle start time.
Note
If forced start is active, the map shows the pin icon 
to the left of the route start time.
For the fastest route, the system calculates the fastest possible route in terms of time taken.
