A route is the list of checkpoints a guard visits on a patrol, in a fixed order. Every route belongs to one building and uses that building's checkpoints, so add the checkpoints first.

Click Create Route. — Create a patrol route

Choose the Building the route belongs to. — Create a patrol route

Create the route

In the sidebar, open Patrols and click Patrol Routes.
Click Create Route.
Under Basic Information, choose the Building. Only active buildings are listed.
Enter the Route Name (English). Route Name (Macedonian) is optional.
Under Route Waypoints, click Add next to the checkpoint guards should visit first.
Click Add on the remaining checkpoints, in the order guards should walk them.
Click Create Route at the bottom of the form.

QRPatrol opens the building's page on the Patrol Routes tab, where the new route is listed.

The Route Code is filled in for you. You can keep it, type your own, or click the refresh button next to it for a new one.

Put the checkpoints in order

Available Checkpoints lists the building's active checkpoints. Route Order shows the ones you added, numbered in the order guards visit them.

Click the up or down arrow on a checkpoint to move it.
Click the cross to take it out of the route.
A checkpoint marked No GPS has no coordinates. You can still add it, but it is left off the Route Map Preview.

A route needs at least one checkpoint before it can be saved. If you change the Building, the checkpoint list is cleared and you start again.

If the building has no checkpoints yet, you see No checkpoints available for this building. Click Create Checkpoint to add one. See Add checkpoints.

Optional settings

The sections below the checkpoints are closed by default. Click a section to open it.

Edit a route

In Patrol Routes, click Edit on the route's row. Change what you need and click Update Route.

Change several routes at once

Tick the rows you want in the list. The bar that appears lets you Activate, Deactivate, Assign patrol car, Export CSV or Delete them. Deleting a route also removes its checkpoint order. Past patrols that used it are kept, but lose their route.
