Vehicles - Lightbulbs & Hover Text
The lightbulbs next to vehicles provide information about the vehicle's status, showing black when the vehicle has not begun its run, green when the vehicle has started its run, red when the vehicle is overdue to start its run. The lightbulb turns into a green highlighted tick when the run has been completed. Hober text gives further information as shown below.
Personalisation
The system allows for flexibility in the way a vehicle's run is displayed. An attribute can be dragged from its location in the Stop, Order Details, Address, or Running Tools tabs and placed where you require for your needs. Observe below that Name and Trip Number have been dragged so that they are always shown.
Layouts can be created according to your individual needs. Below is an example of a layout that displays Run, the Map of the day, the Gantt Chart of the runs for the day, as well as the A to B Route Calculator.
Runsheet Action Menus
Actions are available for a scheduled day, individual vehicles, as well as a run. Day actions allow for adding a run, closing the day, managing drivers for the day, as well as various export options. Vehicle actions allow viewing the vehicle's details, as well as access to basic editing and export options. Run actions allow for adding a break, resetting status for a client order, as well as editing an order.
Plan Panels
Panels can be used to view unallocated vehicles, an individual vehicle's run, or any of the Panel Tools (see Operations features).
