What are all ways to create tasks?

Updated this week

You can create a new task in the Task and routes solution in three ways — from the vehicle list, after clicking a vehicle from the list, or directly within a planned or drafted route.


From the vehicle list

📘 This option is available only from vehicles without an active route or those finishing their last task.

To create a task from the main vehicle list:

  1. Go to Online Map and click the "Tasks" tab.

  2. Find a vehicle without an active route and click the "+ Plan a task" button (this vehicle can be changed later).

  3. A floating window will appear on the map. Enter the address, due date and time.

  4. Optionally, you can change the vehicle, the type of task ("Loading" is the default option), the client, the trailer, if any documents should be scanned to complete the task, you can also add driver instructions, or enter an order ID.

    📘 The document list uses Mapon’s standard task document types. To add your own types, please use our API with your TMS when you create tasks.
