The On-Demand Dispatch board is used to dispatch orders to drivers and to monitor the driver's pickup and delivery activity. It consists of two summary grids:

Active Orders Grid: Orders are assigned to drivers, and orders and drivers are monitored.
Active Drivers Grid: Driver's orders are monitored from this grid.

Other important detail screens are:

Order Status: Double click on an order in the Active Orders grid. Displays information on the status of the order. See Order Status.
Driver Active Work: Double click on a driver in the Active Drivers grid. Displays the orders and routes currently assigned to the driver. See Driver Active Work.

To get to the On-Demand Dispatch board, go to On Demand > Dispatch.

Quick Tips

Use the Home and End keys to highlight the first or last order/driver.
The Time Zone setting is user specific and can be different for each user.
If you have Assisted/Autonomous Dispatch route optimization configured, you can view and/or edit the Autonomous Options in the top right. See Assisted/Autonomous Dispatch: Beans.

Active Orders Grid

Orders with a due date beyond 60 days prior to the current date will not appear on the active orders dispatch board.

The Active Orders grid is where orders are assigned to drivers and monitored.

Quick Tip: You can customize the Active Orders grid. See How to Customize the Orders/Routes/Drivers Grid on the Dispatch Board.
