Reference guide for properties and options
This section consists of three parts. The first part provides the main definitions and describes the properties of depots, orders, vehicles, and geofences. The second part provides a more detailed description of common properties, such as time window, weight, and volume. The third part discusses the routing options that allow you to plan routes based on your specific requirements.
Certain special settings are described in logistic scenarios, such as cross-docking settings and delivery by vehicle and on foot for combined routes.
