Stop Consolidation in the Driver App

For driver documentation see Stop Consolidation.
Stop consolidation can be done automatically, based on time windows and addresses, or drivers can manually consolidate. In the Stops List, the number of stops consolidated displays on the left.
When stops that have force location settings applied are consolidated, the same enforcements will apply only to the parent stop ID in the consolidation.
Automatic Stops Consolidation
When stops are consolidated automatically, the stops' addresses must match exactly (including any spaces), Forced Location Scan must be set to “None”, and times must match or overlap based on the following criteria:
If stop 1 starts at or before stop 2, stop 1 must end during, at, or after stop 2 ends.
If stop 1 starts after stop 2 starts, stop 1 must end before or after stop 2 ends.

Toggle the Automatic Stops Consolidation to the right. It will be green when enabled.
Optional: Toggle Type Consolidation to the right to merge stops based on time window, address, and stop type such as a pickup or delivery. It will be green when enabled.
How to Manually Consolidate Stops

Status Codes
Adding status codes to a consolidation at the stop level attaches the status codes to all the stops in the consolidated list. Drivers can delete status codes from individual stops.
See Status Codes in the Driver App.
Accessorial Items
You can add accessorial items to selected stops in the consolidation or all to all stops in the consolidation.
See Accessorials in the Driver App.
Attachments
Adding attachments to a consolidation will add the attachment to all the stops in the consolidation. You can delete attachments from individual stops.
See Attachments in the Driver App.
Parcels
You can scan or manually enter parcels. Scans of expected parcels on stops that are consolidated inside the Driver App will parse to the correct stop. When an overage is scanned, the driver will be asked which of the consolidated stops it should be paired with.
See Parcels in the Driver App.
