Operating Scrap Dragon > Main Menu > Dispatch > Dispatch Process > Dispatch > Trips & Work Orders |
When you touch Dispatch, the Dispatch screen opens. This screen is the main dispatching screen where all of the trip planning and container moves are initiated and recorded. There are three tabs where you can view your trips and work orders, plan a trip and view and edit the work order details.
The screen is divided into two halves.
The Trips grid shows your plan for getting the work done - it shows the trip details by date or level of completion. This list can be filtered to show only those trips you want to view. You can view the trips for a period of time, trips that have been planned, started or completed, and you can view the trips for a single truck or all trucks.
The Work Orders grid contains all the work you have to do, all pending work orders, and is sorted in date and priority sequence. The list can be filtered for more intelligent dispatching. The oldest and highest priority service requests always appear at the top of the list. A traffic light color scheme for the work orders is used - a red indicating the highest priority or A priority. It is set up when you create the work order.
