# Route Optimization

> Plot filtered jobs on the map, set the crew, first-job time, and stop order, then have FieldPulse auto-schedule the whole route from those inputs.

Using the route optimization features in FieldPulse, you can ensure that your service agents are routing their jobs as efficiently as possible each day.

This feature allows you to manually optimize the route and schedule of jobs using the map. Select options to filter jobs to plot on a map, and then select the order in which to schedule, the team members assigned to these jobs, and the date/time of the first job. These jobs will be automatically scheduled using the inputs provided.

***

To begin optimizing your routes, select *Schedule* from the left-side menu, then click on the *Map View* in the Team Schedule. Finally, select the date you'd like to schedule a route for and select *Schedule Route*.
