Inspection routes can be created to help users create and track inspections more efficiently. The routes themselves must be devised/created by the user.
For example, all properties located in a particular part of town can be assigned to the same route so that they are all visited on the same trip.

In the Street column, click on the property address
Expand the Inspection Route dropdown
Select the relevant route number (SME Professional default routes are numbered eg 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...and so on)
Click Update property

Go to Lettings Properties > Inspections
In the Route column, locate the relevant route number and click on the calendar icon
