Thanks for the suggestion. Can I create a visit that is not linked to a job? If not, which job do I link a visit too that has a different address which is my office?

Hello Kamgard,

Unfortunately, there is no way to create a visit that is not linked to a job. Are you trying to find a way to set your office as a start or end location? 
Here's a workaround you might want to try:

  1. Create a “client” that represents your office or start/end location.
    • Name it something clear like “Office”
    • Add your office address as that client’s property.
  2. Create a job for that office client/property.
  3. Create your anytime visit(s) for that job and assign it so it can be routed as part of the optimization.

 

I hope this helps!
