Dispatch
Dispatch is the board: the live picture of every job, who is carrying it, and where your drivers are.
The four parts of the screen
Section titled “The four parts of the screen”The job list, down the middle, is the heart of it. Columns are Date, Time, Speed, Vehicle, Job No, Pickup, Delivery, Courier, Remaining and Status. Above it, counters show Total, Active, Transit and Done, and you can narrow the list to Unassigned, Active, Done or All. There is a search box for finding a specific job.
The detail panel shows the selected job. Until you select one it reads “No Job Selected” — that is expected, not a fault.
Current Work lists your drivers, each with their vehicle, how many jobs they are carrying, and whether they are active. You can show all drivers, only active ones, or just the one you have selected.
Driver Locations and the map show where everyone is, grouped by your delivery zones.
There is also a Tasks panel, which shows either the tasks for the selected job or all tasks.
Booking a job
Section titled “Booking a job”New jobs are created from the Actions menu, at the top of the screen — . The same menu also holds Inter-Courier Charge.
The step-by-step guide for the booking form itself is not written yet.
Assigning work
Section titled “Assigning work”Each row in the job list has an Assign control, and the driver panel shows who has capacity. The detailed workflow is not documented yet.
What varies at your company
Section titled “What varies at your company”The columns on the job list depend on the layout in use — layouts are saved and can be switched from the toolbar. The zones under Driver Locations are the ones your company has defined.
What we have not covered yet
Section titled “What we have not covered yet”Most of this app. The Add New Job form, Messages, Date Filter, Layouts and the navigation menu have not been opened, and the previous version of the page has not been looked at.
