Advanced Notice Profile

Advanced Notice Profile ancillary data allows you to create a profile that you later assign to a polygon when you create or edit a run in the Runs screen.

The advanced notice profile specifies a period of time from the current time to the live date. The normal use of this feature is to create an expanding service area that is available to a run as the date of service approaches so that the Schedule Server application can force runs to stay within a community at first, and later on, make it easier for the server to search for a solution for hard-to-serve trips as the schedule fills up.

To add ancillary data, click File > Ancillary Data > Para > Service > Advanced Notice Profile.
