Setting Up Delivery Windows for Deliveries
Key Steps
Select the truck for which you want to set delivery windows by going to "All Schedule" and clicking on the desired truck.
Check the estimated travel time for the first delivery to determine the starting point.

Use the slider or input specific times to set the delivery windows for each stop.
Consider the number of pieces being delivered and the distance to the next stop to determine the appropriate window duration.
Repeat the process for each subsequent delivery, considering the unique factors of each delivery.
Cautionary Notes
Ensure to set delivery windows based on realistic timeframes considering travel time, number of pieces, and distance between stops.
Double-check the settings and timings to avoid overlapping or unrealistic delivery windows.
