Routes
Screen title: Routes
Browser title: Route
Address: /route/
Use Routes to build and manage day visit plans — ordered lists of accounts/contacts on a map, assigned to sales reps, with distance/time, optimize, print, and notify options.
Related: you usually pick accounts on the Accounts list (/contacts/) first (checkboxes, map icons, or Lasso), then Save Route to open Add Route.
How Routes fit together
| Screen | Address | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Routes list | /route/
|
Find, filter, edit, or delete saved routes |
| Add Route | /route/new/
|
Name the route, order stops, assign reps, save (after selecting accounts) |
| Edit Route | /route/edit/<id>/
|
Change name, stops, order, assignees; optimize; print; notify |
| View Route | /route/view/<id>/
|
View when you are not the owner (non-managers) |
| Accounts (start here) | /contacts/
|
Select accounts → Save Route / Add Route icons → then Add Route |
Typical flow:
- On Accounts, select mappable accounts (or use Map + Lasso / Add Route icons).
- Click Save Route (map mode) or complete selection so CallProof stores the stop list.
- Open Add Route (
/route/new/). - Name the route (or add to a saved route), assign reps if you are a manager, reorder stops, optionally Optimize.
- Click Save (and optionally send a notification to assigned users).
- Later, manage everything from Routes (
/route/).
Permissions
- You must be signed in.
- Managers / market managers can filter by User, see Assign To, and assign routes to other reps.
- Owners can delete their routes (trash icon when you are the owner).
- Non-owners may open View instead of full edit, depending on ownership.
- Only accounts with latitude and longitude appear as route stops (no location = cannot be routed).
- Company menu permissions control whether Routes appears in the sidebar.
Part 1 — Routes list
How to open Routes
- Sign in to CallProof.
- In the left sidebar, open Routes.
Option B — Direct address
- Go to your CallProof site and add
/route/(example:https://appv2.callproof.com/route/). - Press Enter.
Option C — After saving a new route
- Save on Add Route; CallProof returns you to the Routes list.

Why Add, Edit, and Delete matter
| Action | Purpose | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Add Route | Create a new ordered visit plan from selected accounts. | Planning today’s or this week’s calls/visits. |
| Edit Route | Change name, stops, order, assignees; optimize path; print; notify. | Territory change, missed stop, reassign to another rep. |
| Delete Route | Remove a route you own (managers may fully remove). | Outdated plan you will not use again. |
| Optimize | Reorder stops for shorter time or better path (with start/end options). | Before leaving for the field. |
| PDF / printable list for the day. | Offline driving or handoff to a rep. |
View / Edit / Delete from the list
Edit
- Click the Route Name (if you are owner) or the Edit icon.
- Opens Edit Route (
/route/edit/<id>/).
View (non-owner)
- Click the route name when you are not the owner.
- Opens View Route (
/route/view/<id>/).
Delete
- If you are the owner, click the Delete (trash) icon.
- Confirm.
- The route is removed (or your assignment is removed, depending on role/ownership rules).
Part 2 — Start a route from Accounts
Routes are built from accounts that have a map location.
From Accounts list / map
- Open Accounts (
/contacts/). - Filter to the area or set you need.
- Select accounts (checkboxes), use Add Route icons on rows with lat/long, and/or use Map + Lasso then Create Route.
- When the route count is ready, click Save Route (map header).
- CallProof opens Add Route (
/route/new/) with those stops loaded.
Important:
- Accounts without latitude/longitude cannot be route stops.
- If you open
/route/new/with no selected stops, CallProof sends you back to Accounts to select some.

Validation tip: You must enter a route name or select a saved route before Save.
Part 4 — Edit Route
Address: /route/edit/<id>/
Browser title: Edit Route
Breadcrumb: Routes » Edit Route
Same map + side panel layout as Add, with these differences:
- Route name is the existing name (edit it as needed).
- Add To Saved Route is not shown (you are already editing one route).
- Print button is available.
- Save updates this route.
How to edit a route
- From Routes, click Edit / route name.
- Update name, assignees (managers), and stop order.
- Remove stops or rely on map/nearby tools as needed.
- Optimize and/or Print if desired.
- Click Save.
- Optionally notify assigned users when prompted.
Reorder stops
- In the Contacts list, drag the handle (bars icon) up or down.
- Order updates on the map path and distance/duration displays.
- Save when the order is final (or Optimize first, then Save).
Remove a stop
- Click the trash icon on that stop row.
- The account leaves this route’s stop list.
- Save to keep the change.
Display NearBy Contacts
- Toggle Display NearBy Contacts on.
- Nearby accounts appear on the map so you can consider adding more stops (as your map tools allow).
- Toggle off to declutter the map.
Optimize Route
Purpose: Reorder stops for a better driving path.
Options
| Option | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Keep Start | Keep the first stop fixed; optimize the rest |
| Keep Start and End | Keep first and last stops fixed; optimize the middle |
Steps
- On Add or Edit Route, click Optimize (enabled when enough stops exist).
- Choose Keep Start or Keep Start and End.
- Review the new order and totals on the side list / map.
- Click Save to keep the optimized order.
Print Route
Purpose: Print or export a PDF of the route for field use.
Available on: Edit Route (save recent stop changes first if prompted).
Print order options
| Option | Meaning |
|---|---|
| No - Print list in the current order | Print stops as currently listed |
| Yes - Optimize the shortest time route | Print using time-optimized order |
| Yes - Optimize the shortest distance route | Print using distance-optimized order |
Steps
- On Edit Route, click Print.
- If asked to save recent contacts first, click Save, then Print again.
- Choose the print/order option toggle(s).
- Click Save in the print dialog to generate the PDF (opens for printing/download).
Notify assigned users
When a manager assigns a route to other reps and saves, CallProof may ask:
“Would you like to send this Route to the assigned user?”
If Yes, choose how to notify:
| Option | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Send updates via email | |
| Push to App | Notify in the mobile/app |
| Both | Email and push |
Then click OK (or Cancel to skip sending).
Tips and important notes
- Best workflow: Accounts (select) → Save Route → Add Route (name/order/assign) → Optimize → Save → (optional) Notify / Print.
- Only accounts with map coordinates become stops.
- Drag to set your preferred visit order; Optimize when you want CallProof to improve the path.
- Managers use Assign Route so reps see the plan on their side.
- Delete is limited to owners (and managers can fully remove); confirm before deleting.
- Print is on Edit after the route exists; save first if you just changed stops.
- Filter Routes by User and Create Date to find last week’s plans quickly.
- Nearby Contacts helps you fill gaps on the map without returning to the full Accounts list.
Need help?
- Add Route sends you to Accounts: select accounts with locations first, then Save Route
- Stop missing on map: account needs address geocoding (lat/long)
- Cannot delete: you may not be the route owner
- Optimize disabled / weak: add more stops, then try again
- Print blocked: Save the route (and recent stop changes) first
- Rep did not get the route: on Save, choose Yes and Email / Push / Both
