Dispatch refresh interval

Ranked order refresh interval

The automatic refresh interval that is used when you are ranking drivers for orders.

Enforce capabilities when dispatching

This will look at the capabilities that a driver has. If the order requires a capability that a driver does not have, it will keep you from dispatching the order to that driver. You will be prompted with a message that lists the capabilities that the driver needs for this order.

Enforce capabilities when ranking

This will take in to account the drivers capabilities when ranking the drivers for an order.

Enforce capabilities on order form

This will take in to account the drivers capabilities on an order form. 

Example: If there is a HAZMAT item in the order that requires approval for a driver to deliver, it would check if the driver has this certification when assigning to an order. Then depending on your selection, it will "enforce" or "warn" the CSR.

Routes will be sequenced when posted but on demand orders do not sequence automatically when assigned to a driver unless automatic route optimization is enabled for the driver.  If no sequence is set for orders and a next stop is not set by the driver, then the stops will be sequenced based on the To Time for the stops with the earliest To Time being considered the stop that the driver is en route to.

Driver Options

Enable driver pay charts

If enabled, this option makes visible driver pay charts in:

Customer > Accounting tab:

 Image Modified

Human Resources > Advanced tab:

 Image Modified

Driver pay charts allow the disconnection of delivery personnel pay from order rates. A separate pay chart is created to which "Human Resources" or "Customers" are pointed. When the delivery person is paid, if pay charts are setup for their "Human Resource" or for the order's "Customer," the pay is calculated using it instead of the order's rate.  By default, customer pay charts override human resource pay charts, however this logic can be reversed by using the "HR Pay Charts Override Customer Pay Charts" option described below.

HR Pay Charts Override Customer Pay Charts

If driver pay charts are enabled using "Enable driver pay charts" option above this option is visible.  When enabled, if a pay chart is defined in "Human Resources" it overrides the pay chart (if defined) setup for customer.  The end result is the delivery person is always paid from the "Human Resources" pay chart, not the customer pay chart.  

Warning
