Setting your round order

Round order is the sequence you visit your clients in. Get it right once and every runsheet for the rest of the year comes out in driving order — no rearranging each morning. The Round Order Manager is where you set and tidy that sequence.

Why round order matters

Your runsheet lists each day's jobs in round order, top to bottom. If that order mirrors how you actually drive — street by street, nearest to furthest — your day flows with almost no thinking. A messy round order means zig-zagging across town, so it's worth a few minutes to get it sensible.

Opening the manager

From the home screen, tap Round Order Manager. You get one clean list of every active client, numbered 1 upwards in their current order. A List | Map toggle at the top switches between the list and a map of your whole round.

Reordering clients

There are two ways to move a client:

  • Drag and drop. On a phone, press and hold the grip handle on the right of a row, then drag it up or down. On the web, click and hold the same handle and drag. The list auto-scrolls when you reach the top or bottom edge.
  • Move to a position. Tap a client to expand it, type a position number and hit Go — or use the Top / Bottom shortcuts to send it to the start or end of the round.

Clients you've moved are flagged with a small dot so you can see what's changed before you save. The header keeps a running count of how many you've moved.

Finding a client fast

Big round? Use the search box to filter by address, name or account number. While a search is active you can tap a client and send it to a position; clear the search to go back to drag-and-drop on the full list.

The Map view

Switch to Map to see every pinned client as a numbered badge — the number is their round order position, so you can literally read your route off the map and spot any zig-zags at a glance. Tap a pin for the client's details, price and position, and use Edit location to drag a wrongly-placed pin to the right spot (pin moves save immediately). A banner shows how many of your clients are pinned, and anyone without a pin is listed underneath so you can place them by hand.

Saving changes

  1. Get the list into the order you want.
  2. Tap Save. Guvnor confirms how many clients it will renumber.
  3. Saving renumbers everyone into a clean 1-to-N sequence so there are no gaps.

Changed your mind? Reset reverts the list to the last saved order, and Discard / Back leaves without saving (it'll check first if you have unsaved moves).

Seeing a “gaps or duplicates” notice? That just means the stored numbering has drifted (common after imports or deletions). Tap Save once — even without moving anyone — and Guvnor renumbers everything cleanly.

Adding new clients to the round

When you add a new client, Guvnor lets you choose where they slot into the round at that point — or guess it for you from their location with ✨ Guess Round Order on the Add Client form, which finds your nearest existing client and opens the position picker on the suggested slot. So you usually won't need to come back here. The Round Order Manager is for the bigger tidy-ups — for example after winning a cluster of new work on one street.
