# Calendar Ribbon

November 3, 2025

## In this article, you will learn how to utilize the Calendar Ribbon feature to set up deliveries for future.

Solution: Allows you to plan for future delivery fulfillment in order to meet customer expectations, repeat an order, and view historical order information.

### Prerequisites:

- At least one active vehicle on the Dashboard

## Scheduling in Advance

The calendar ribbon appears across the top of the Delivery Dashboard page. It provides users the ability to choose a specific date to view by sliding week to week or choosing a specific month from the calendar pop-out. There’s no limit to how far out you can schedule.

Click on a **Date** and then select **New Delivery**. _Note: drivers cannot view any routes in the planning stages. You also cannot_ **_Send to Driver_** _until the morning of the date you choose._

To go back to today’s date, click the **Go to today’s deliveries** link.

## Optimizing Your Route

Once you have entered your future deliveries, you can **[Optimize](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BzPswbNYg6De6tyaeP1oWL8cvY4ndwuNTkNBOhd9ZO4/edit?usp=sharing)** the route just as you would previously.

## Reviewing Incomplete Deliveries

## Viewing Historical Routes

Click **All Deliveries** to see all the orders you’ve ever done. In the Professional tier, there is no limit to how far back you can go. Customers on the Starter tier will be limited to 13 months of historical data. You can **Select a Date** or use the **Search Box** to find specific past orders.

## Repeating a Previous Order

From plan view, map view, or list view on the Dashboard, enter the date of the delivery you wish to duplicate or scroll through the list. On the far right of the specific delivery you want to repeat, select the three-dot, or kebab menu, and select **Repeat Delivery**.
