Import

The WEBFLEET import dialog

Use the WEBFLEET button in the Import dialog to import orders from WEBFLEET. Orders will be imported as destination locations into RouteXL.

The import dialog has some options:

• Select device and date: the TomTom PRO device and day of which orders should be imported.
• Add latest position as departure: the latest GPS position of the device will be added as departure location on the map. This can be used to plan orders from the current position of the driver, e.g. when on the road.
• Keep order ID: required if you need which to keep the order IDs in WEBFLEET.

Warning: WEBFLEET can store more information than RouteXL can handle. Not all order details will be imported with the locations.

Export

Export a route to a WEBFLEET device

An optimized itinerary can be send to a connected TomTom PRO device by using the WEBFLEET button in the Share dialog. Your addresses will be converted into destination orders using the .connect interface.

The export dialog has the following options:

• Select device and date: TomTom satnav and day for which the orders must be created.
• Add departure: make the departure address a seperate order on the device. Only required if one needs to drive to the departure first.
• Replace the current orders: will delete all currect on the device on the specified date. May be useful if orders were imported before.
• Create itinerary order: adds all stops in one single order entry. Not all devices allow this.
• With order text: comments in the route planner will be added to orders.
• Add arrival times: arrival times in the route planner will be added to orders.

Notes

• The WEBFLEET user must have the "expert" profile and have external access to interface WEBFLEET.connect. Your administrator user can change these settings in the WEBFLEET application.

• If you grant external access to an existing WEBFLEET user, it may take up to 24 hours to get activated. If you’re in a hurry: you’d better create a new user with these rights.

• The error message External request not allowed [ERROR 8014] indicates that your WEBFLEET user is not correctly configured.
