Vehicle file reference¶

Applies to v1.7+ · ~4 min read · Import guides

Use this reference when preparing a vehicle file or reviewing a vehicle saved mapping.

Fields shown in the mapping screen¶

Scheduled Routes field	Shown as required	What to provide
Vehicle Name	Yes	A stable name or ID for the vehicle.
Capacities	Yes	One or more capacity values, using the same units as job demand.
Shift Start	Yes	The time the vehicle becomes available.
Shift End	Yes	The time the vehicle stops accepting work.

Other vehicle details¶

The vehicle editor also shows Skills, Start location, End location, status, and frequency. Include these values in your setup where they are needed, or complete them after import.

Start location

Set a depot or start address before optimizing. Without it, the engine may not be able to use the vehicle.

File preparation checklist¶

Keep one vehicle per row.
Keep column headings consistent when reusing a saved mapping.
Use consistent capacity units.
Check that shift end is later than shift start.
Review the Vehicle Preview before saving the mapping.

Accepted formats

Vehicle files can be CSV, XLS, or XLSX, with no fixed file-size limit. Addresses are matched with fuzzy logic that finds the closest location, so exact formatting isn't required. Times are read in the app's (your) time zone.
