In Nextstop 2
When a driver is at a stop that requires a location scan, the "Arrived" / "Delivery" button will change to "Arrival Scan" / "Delivery Scan" on the Stop Info screen.
When the driver clicks the button, the camera screen will open and the driver will need to scan a barcode that matches the Route Stop Secondary Lookup.
The driver must complete the location scan before beginning work.
