Plan the rounds
A route is one rep’s patch: the branches on it, the days each is visited, and the order of the stops. From the routes, Slflo makes each rep’s day plan — the stops on the phone’s Today screen (today’s route). You don’t press anything to make it: plans are generated automatically every hour, at ten past, for today and the next 7 days. Saving a change to a route re-makes the plans it affects at once; the rep’s phone shows them after its next sync.
How a day plan is made
Section titled “How a day plan is made”- A branch is planned on the days its visit pattern says (every week, or a chosen rhythm).
- A route is either suggested order (the rep may visit in any order) or strict order (a stop opens only after the one before it is visited or skipped).
- A branch is not planned when the route is a draft or hasn’t started yet, the route or branch is paused, the branch isn’t due that day, it’s closed that day, it’s covered by another rep, or the route has no rep.

Choose today or a later date. ROUTE_DATE_IN_PAST | Changes start today or later; pick a date from today on. |
The rep's Today screen shows no stops. | Check the rep has a route that is active and started, that today is one of its visit days, then have the rep sync; days not yet made appear at ten past the hour. Or see the reasons above. |
