Rename a route
Rename a route in Upper Route Planner using the pencil icon in the route builder. Clear, descriptive names make routes faster to find, filter, and share.
Every new route in Upper Route Planner starts with an auto-numbered name like Route Plan - 502. You can rename it to something descriptive — a zone, a day, a customer, or a driver — so it's easy to recognize at a glance in your route list. This page shows you how.
This guide uses Upper's default driver/delivery labels (for example Share to Drivers). Your workspace may instead show Technician and Service labels — the wording is configurable, but the steps are the same.
Why rename a route
Auto-numbered names like "Route Plan - 501" and "Route Plan - 502" get hard to tell apart once you're running several routes a day. A descriptive name makes the route quicker to spot in the My Route Plan list and easier to recognize when you share it to your drivers.
Rename a route
Open the route
Go to Route Plan in the left sidebar (under the Plan group) to reach the My Route Plan page. Find the route you want to rename and open it in the route builder.
Edit the name
In the route builder header, click the pencil edit icon next to the route name. The name becomes editable.
Type the new name and save
Enter the new name, then save your change.
Pick one naming format and stick to it across your team — for example [Day] [Zone] ("Monday North Zone"), [Service] [Time] ("AM Deliveries"), or [Customer] ("Acme Weekly"). Consistent names make the route list far faster to scan.
Where the name appears
Once you save, the new name shows in your My Route Plan list, where every saved route is listed by name. It also appears in the share and export screens, where routes are listed by name in the per-driver selection tables — so the name you choose is what your team sees when you dispatch or export a route.
