RoutingBox Friday Issue 226: Notification Pane (January 12 - January 18)

What's New?

This week, we've added controls at the bottom of the Notification Pane to show/hide and clear notifications by source:

Just click any of the buttons to show or hide, and click Clear All to clear any visible notifications from that source.

Did You Know?

You have the ability to decide the way RoutingBox calculates the distance between pickup and drop off locations, depending on the needs of your business.
