Force Location Scan in Nextstop 3
This content may be outdated as newer versions of our Driver App (Nextstop 3) are available. See Driver App (formerly Nextstop 3) for current documentation.
You can force a location scan at the arrival or departure of a stop.
When stops that have force location settings applied are consolidated, the same enforcements will apply only to the parent stop ID in the consolidation.

In Nextstop
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.
