Automatic Start Time

This value determines whether the resource’s departure time should be adapted based on the opening hours of the first visit. When activated, it helps minimize unnecessary waiting time and improves route efficiency.

• If Disabled, the resource starts at the time defined in the Work Time constraint, even if the first visit opens later. Waiting time may occur.

• If Enabled, the resource’s departure time is adjusted automatically according to the opening time of the first visit to reduce waiting time.

The resource can never begin earlier than their defined Work Time. If the departure time changes, the end time shifts by the same amount, except when the Daily Work Time constraint is also applied.
