Handling Weight and Volume in Route Optimiser

H there, is there any way to prioritise stops based on weight and/or volume using the Optimiser API?

I know there is a priority rule 0 -100, but is this only to ensure shipments aren’t dropped through Optimisation, as opposed to contrubuting to the Route sequence?

Many Thanks
Andre

Priorities can be assigned to tasks (jobs or shipments), so in case not all tasks can be fulfilled, the optimizer tries to prefer tasks with high priority and low-priority tasks remain unassigned.

Maybe you can use weight or volume of you tasks to compute a priority value.

Details of the API can be found in the API descriptions linked below. There is a short paragraph about priorities.
