One difficulty of fleet management is knowing which vehicles are in use for an active ticketShort for “delivery ticket,” which is printed and given to the driver. Also called a tag or docket. The ticket includes, at a minimum, the product(s) ordered and the delivery address. It can also include the amounts of materials batched to form the mix. In the past, producers sent copies of the delivery ticket with prices as invoices; now tickets and invoices are two separate documents.. Set the option here to specify which type of work information should display next to the vehicle's information from the Equipment Map, Employee Dispatch, and Equipment Dispatch screens.

Select from the following options:

• Job
• Order
• Ticket #

The font size for headers on the dispatch screens change with this setting.

Select from the following options:

• Small
• Medium
• Large

For screens with limited resolutions, long headers often extend off the screen. The word wrap feature automatically resizes a heading that is too long for one line. Long headers will automatically extend to a second line when this option is set to Wrap.

By default, this is set to No Wrap.

We recommend also using the Dispatch Header Truncate setting below to shorten headers.

To avoid lengthy headers that extend off the screen on low-resolution devices, truncating offers a simple solution. Set this to the total number of characters (up to a total of 20) you wish to display on a screen. Any characters beyond this limit are then truncated with a set of dots to indicate the ellipsis.

When viewing the Employee Dispatch or Equipment Dispatch screens in grid  view, each employee or vehicle is displayed in a column corresponding to their current status. This indicator may be set to include the status name for ease of reference with long dispatch lists, or exclude the name to condense information presentation.

If set to No, only the employee or equipment number, status color, and status time will display.

The status time on the Employee Dispatch or Equipment Dispatch screens indicates how long an employee has been in that status. The duration for a status may be excluded by setting this option to No.

Companies with multiple plants find value in identifying the originThe source or "home" location equipment departs from when en route to a destination. This is typically a plant or yard. of a vehicle's route. Setting this to Yes adds a new column to the dispatch screens which shows the last plant the vehicle loaded at.
