AntsRoute allows you to display jobs from the basket directly on the route map. This makes it easy to identify jobs located near your routes and manually add them to the route of your choice.
This feature is particularly useful for adding one or more extra jobs to an already planned route.
🙋 Note: this feature is also available in the Monitor module. You can display tasks from the basket directly on the map to complete ongoing routes.
💡 Good to know: If you have a large number of jobs to schedule, you can use the Spread feature to automatically distribute them over several days and optimize your routes.

- Open the right-hand panel.
- Click on “Filter the display”.
- Check the option “Display work orders from basket”.
- If needed, apply specific filters by clicking on “Filter”.
💡 Good to know: You can filter the display of tasks based on the following criteria:
- Open date
- Due date
- Forced driver
- Comments
- Type
- Location of delivery
- Customer
- External delivery ID
- Time slot

Basket work orders will appear in blue on the map.
2. Assign a basket work order to a route
Once the tasks are visible on the map, you can assign them manually to a route using drag and drop.
Here's how:
- Click and hold the task you want to assign.
- Drag it onto the route path of your choice.
- When the route turns red, release the click to confirm the assignment.
The task will then be added directly to the selected route.
