=== Number of rounds ===
The number of rounds can be selected between 1 and 10. E.g. setting the number of rounds to 4, will result in a route with four rounds. The stops will be divided over these four rounds. Each round will have a different colored path on the map. By clicking its path each round can be seperately opened as a single route to [[print]], [[download]] or [[share]]. To go back to the full route, use the browsers ''Back'' button or the history at the [[History|Routes]] button.
=== Balance ===
If you try to limit the duration for each round, use the setting for the maximum roundtime. It will be used as a soft restriction in the optimization [[algorithm]], which means that it will try to keep each round within this time limit, but not at all costs. Other restrictions may prevail e.g. time windows or pickup & delivery restrictions.
The number of rounds is not impacted by the maximum roundtime. How many rounds are created is fixed with the 'Number of rounds' setting and there will be no extra rounds created when the maximum roundtime is insufficient.
=== Capacities ===
If you plan multiple rounds for different vehicles, you may want need to take into account their different capacities. E.g. a big lorry can load more than a smaller one. To have this taken into account:
1. Set the unit of capacity at [[Options]] > Parameters
2. Set the capacities for each round on that same tab
3. Enter the demand for capacity [[Edit location|for each stop]]
If you want to [[import]] the demand for capacity with your locations, format these numbers between ^'s. Total required demand may not be more than total available capacity.
