Creating a Route Sheet

A route sheet helps inspectors organize inspections and displays inspection routes on the map, enabling inspectors to minimize the time and distance that they travel. Inspectors can view their scheduled inspections, order them according to their preference, add a stop to their route, and then view their route on the map.
