Routes and Waypoints
To deploy the reference groups for routes and waypoints:
- In Pitram Reference Edit, select Other Actions | Deploy Reference Data on the navigation pane header.
- Scroll down to Configuration Items | Locations.

Before you can work with waypoints, you must define their criteria and actions.
Waypoint rules specify actions that will occur when a unit of equipment or a person enters the zone of influence of a waypoint. Rules are comprised of an action and criteria. All of the criteria configured on a rule must be satisfied before the rule’s action is performed. The action itself will produce an event against the equipment that passed the waypoint.
For example, if a truck hits a given waypoint and is travelling in a given direction the rule action may be to automatically allocate the truck to a particular loader. A waypoint may have multiple rules configured, for example one rule that is specific to truck model A and another to truck model B.

You must use the same mixture of upper and lower case as shown in the table below:
Name | Code | Abbreviation |
