Route tags are labels that you can assign to your routes in Gordon Cloud. They help you highlight, categorize, and filter routes based on custom criteria. Think of them as flexible tags that make it easier to group routes, identify deviations, or filter specific routes in reports.
Why Use Route Tags?
Route tags are highly adaptable and can be applied in several ways depending on your workflow. Common examples include:
Deviation tracking: Tag routes that started late, are late due to traffic, or had issues with the weather.
Geographical labeling: Use tags to group routes by area, region, or zone to simplify analysis and reporting.
Operational grouping: Group routes by operational characteristics such as vehicle type, priority, or special customer instructions on the route.
Ultimately, how you use route tags depends on your internal processes — they’re designed to be flexible and customizable.
Where to Manage Route Tags

You can also search for existing tags within your account to avoid duplicates.
