Resequence Calls |
Resequence Calls allows you to change the order of the current sequence of permanent calls on a route to a new sequence on the same route. This feature is typically used for permanent routes for Frontload, Rearload, Portable Toilet, etc. Resequencing calls can be moved from the Original Sequence to a New Sequence, Resequence within the New Sequence or Resequence using TRUX0026.

Permanently Change The Sequence Order
These steps will take you through how to permanently change the sequence order of calls on a permanent route.
Navigate To: Routing>Route Maintenance>Resequence Calls
In order to resequence the calls on the route, the calls in their current sequence will be listed in the left column as the Original Sequence and will need to be moved to their new position in the right column as the New Sequence.

Resequence Calls Using Custom Program TRUX0026
TRUX0026 allows users to enter actual new sequence numbers. Users can renumber an entire route or a few calls at a time.
