Guided Tour: Customize Place Names
PC*MILER allows you to customize place names to
match the names of your facilities and\or customer locations. Let’s
add a custom place to the stop list for Route 1:
-
Select Manage Custom Places… from the Tools
menu to access the Custom Place Manager.
-
To enter a custom place, place your cursor in
the Custom Name field and type “HQ” (for “Headquarters”).
-
Type “jacksonville, fl” in the Location field
and click Add. (A ZIP code or latitude\longitude coordinates
would also be accepted in the Location field.)
-
If a pick list of ZIP codes opens (this
depends on the setting in Tools menu > Multiple Names
Instances), highlight one of the ZIP codes and click OK. “HQ”
will be added to the list of custom places.
-
Click OK to close the Custom Place Manager
and save your custom place to the PC*MILER database.
-
Now select Route 1 from the Windows menu.
Click under the last stop, type “HQ”, and press <Enter> to add
it as a stop. It will appear on the list with an asterisk to
show that it’s a custom place.
-
To calculate the new route, click Run.
