- Time Range - amount of time allotted to complete a patrol route. If you do not have time restrictions, set this to a high number (e.g. 8 hours) to avoid timeouts during a patrol.
- Checkpoint Sequence - determines if checkpoints must be completed in the assigned order. If you have a large facilities with a number of checkpoints, you may wish to enable this setting to allow more flexibility to staff when completing a patrol.
