Should I use relative days or dates?
There are two possible case scenarios:
Relative date stamping (day numbers)
- If you use the same route repeatedly for a regular scheduled route plan, it will be preferable to use relative dates values (1,2,3,4,5) for your visiting dates.
Absolute date stamping (calendar dates)
- Conversely, if your business activity requires resources to undertake different routes and/or you are using TourSolver Mobile, it will be more practical to use calendar dates (25/09/2017,26/09/2017,27/09/2017,28/09/2017,29/09/2017).
Warning: whether you use relative days or calendar dates, all the constraints using days (if they are used) must be in the same format.

- Opening days (My sites)
- Worked days (My resources)
- Possible days (My visits)
