Information visible while using the routing feature
Answered
What has kept me from using the routing feature is the difficulty in seeing what items I'm routing. The box showing the rental information on that page is very small which makes it tedious keeping track of what is what when you are trying to schedule 15-30 rentals on a given saturday. Would there be a way to increase the amount of visibility of specific info during the routing process (information like rental item, address, and event time)?
The size of the box is directly related to the setup duration. We have a minimum of .25 hours (15 minutes) that we use for each lead if the rentals don't have anything in their settings. editing your rentals and putting in longer setup durations will increase this readability for you some, but if you are actually only on site for 15 minutes at a time, this issue of size will still remain. I'll talk with the team about increasing the size of the time scale in that case. Do you prefer to still keep smaller setup /teardown times?

I could manage to use the routing feature without seeing rental item (since the set up/tear down time associated with each would be enough info for my purposes). I could also manage without seeing the address since the peg on the map is good enough.
However, it would be great to be able to see what the actual "event start time" associated with each delivery, because at this point, in order to find out what time a delivery needs to arrive by, I have to click it and then as soon as I click another one to check it, I lose the first one I clicked, so its impossible to keep track.
Just by adding the "event start time" or even the "event start and finish time" I would be able to use this feature. With having to click each one individually to find out, then try to remember, while I'm clicking other ones to find out, while I'm trying to make schedule the routes for each truck is not doable for me. I end up copying and pasting all the info to a separate document so that I can see everything all at once to get the big picture.
