Tutorial - How to use Scenario Templates in Tarot Routing

In early January 2023 we redesigned how a User creates Scenarios in Tarot Routing. As part of this redesign we added the ability to create a Scenario from a templates. This article details who should use Scenario Template and why as well as how to create and manage your Templates in Tarout Routing

The new "Create Scenario" modal


Who should use Scenario Templates and why?

Scenario Templates are designed for Organisations with regular operational patterns, e.g. every day we have a "morning" and "afternoon" delivery wave, or Organisations who are using Territory and Interactive Delivery Management features and need to bulk create Scenarios in advance.


Using a Scenario Template saves you time and reduces the chance of errors by automatically:

  • Setting the Scenario Name & Tracking Name*

  • Applying Territory Groups

  • Activating Drivers

All you as the User need to do is set the Scheduled Date (and even this can be defaulted to today, tomorrow or next business day)

How to create a Scenario Template

A User can create and manage Scenario Templates from the Admin Panel. To create a Scenario Template:

  • Login to Tarot Routing

  • Open the Admin Panel

  • Navigate to Organisation Settings > Scenario Templates using the Admin Panel menu on the left of the screen

  • Here you can create new Templates or manage existing Templates

  • To create a new Template click the + icon on the right hand side of the

  • The Create Scenario Template Modal will open. Fill in the fields and click Save to create your Template

  • You can edit an existing template by clicking the pencil icon


Great, now you have created a template it is time to use it. Return to the Map interface and create a Scenario as you normally would from the Scenario panel's Action Bar.

When the Create Scenario Modal appears use the Scenario Template drop down box to select your previously created template.

You can click more options to see the Tracking Name, Territory Groups and Active Drivers that will be applied.


Create the Scenario and you are good to go, add Jobs, optimise and start delivering!


Bulk Create Jobs API and Scenario Templates

You can also use Scenario Templates if you are using the Bulk Create Jobs API as a data connection between your system and Tarot Routing.

Check out the Swagger Documentation for specific changes you would make to your request.
