Need to make changes to your existing route? Thinking about the best design of your route to generate your monitoring and reporting requirements?
Read each of the sections below that guide routes still in the planning phase (monitoring is not switched on yet) vs. routes with live monitoring switched on.
1. Editing and deleting routes (prior to live monitoring)
Any user with edit access to a site can edit or delete a route. Follow the steps to editing a route prior to live monitoring:
On the left Side Toolbar, within Edit site, you can edit and delete routes. On the map you will visually see the roads and key routes that will be monitored.
Scroll down the list and select 'Routes'.
Select the route in question
Under 'Options' click 'Edit'
The map points will appear for you to drag and drop to a new destination.
2. Editing and deleting routes (when live monitoring is on)
Once monitoring is live you can still follow the same process to edit or delete the route. However, changes will affect monitoring data from the time of the edit onward. When you make adjustments consider how they might impact any of your intended reporting, layout and dataset.
How edits affect monitoring
All data collected before the edit reflects the original route.
All data collected after the edit reflects the updated route.
The charts will not show when the route was edited, or what changes were made.
Example:
If you make the route longer, journey times may increase from the time of the change onward.
#Pro tip: Add an annotation when you edit a live route to record what was changed and when.
