Overview

Crittah's LCMS Region module consists of the ability to create one or more defined areas on a map for the purpose of job allocaton and optimised vehicle allocaton . Regions are typically related to routes, shifts and drivers as a set of requirements that relate to an organised job. Once the Region record is created, you can view and edit information pertaining to the Region as you better optimise or exand your workforce via the Routes and Regions sub menu located under Planning on the navigation bar.  This documentation will cover how to create a Region and assign the various details and options available from within the module.
