Application Setup - Preview

The items in this tab are subject to change. They cover experimental flags, deprecated toggles that are kept around for backwards compatibility, and configuration for opt-in capabilities such as route optimization and the AI Chat. For an overview of what each experimental flag does in the planning view itself, see Experimental features.

Solver & optimization

Field	Description
Solver API key	API key for the route-optimization solver. Required for any of the optimization features below.
Enable route optimization	Adds the Optimize route action to the route sequence. Requires the Advanced Map license.
Enable field service solver	Enables the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) solver, used by the planning board and the optimize_field_service MCP tool to assign and sequence appointments across resources. Requires the Field Service Optimizer optional module.

Planning board

Field	Description
Recalculate travel time	Deprecated. Original travel-time recalculation switch. New deployments should use the route-sequence flow instead. Read more here.
Planning board zoom	Deprecated. When switched on, you can zoom in and out on the planning board with Ctrl + scroll. Replaced by the new planning board.
New planning board	Switches the planning board to the new rendering engine.

AI Chat

These settings configure the in-product AI Chat. When the chat is enabled but no API key is configured, the chat panel shows a configuration prompt instead of the conversation UI.

Provider	LLM provider to use. Options: OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI.
