Dispatch refresh interval

Interval that the dispatch board will automatically refresh at.

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.  This also applies when an order is being updated after it has been dispatched.

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.

Enforce critical dates

Critical dates are stored in Human Resources that can refer to items such as drivers license, insurance, or immigration expirations and in Vehicles (Classic Operations App) for items such as registration and insurance.

  • Ignore - The expiration dates are not monitored by the Operations App.

  • Warn - The system will prompt the dispatcher if they would like to dispatch the driver or vehicle despite the expiration.

  • Enforce - The dispatcher will not be able to dispatch the driver or vehicle if one or more of the items are expired.

Enforce vehicle max dim weight

Max Dim Weight is set on the driver's vehicle on the vehicle record. This setting can be overridden for individual vehicles through the vehicle record’s MDW Enforcement setting.

  • Ignore - The Max Dim Weights are not monitored by the Operations App.

  • Warn - The system will prompt the dispatcher if they would like to dispatch the driver despite exceeding the associated vehicle’s Max Dim Weight.

  • Enforce w/API - The dispatcher will not be able to dispatch the driver when exceeding the associated vehicle’s Max Dim Weight. This will be enforced within the API as well.

  • Enforce w/ No API - The dispatcher will not be able to dispatch the driver when exceeding the associated vehicle’s Max Dim Weight. This will not be enforced within the API.
