Checked against Pop Dispatch 0.1.0

Two small checks the desk uses while taking a call. The mail check shows which fields your label mapping finds in a dispatch email. The private-property check confirms an authorisation is complete.

Before you start #

You need the dispatcher, advisor, manager or owner role.

Steps #

  1. Choose Desk tools in the dispatch menu.
  2. Under Read a dispatch email, paste a subject and message. Write the label list with one line for each label as Label = field. Choose Read the fields. The fields found are listed. A label with no mapping stays out, so you finish it by hand.
  3. Under Private-property tow check, enter the person who authorised the tow and the property, and tick A photo of the signage is attached. Choose Check the authorisation.
  4. The page answers that the authorisation is complete, or names the first thing missing.
Technical details
  • Routes: POST /dispatch/mail/map and POST /dispatch/ppi. Both need the Tow group of roles.
  • Mail lines are read as Label: value. Labels are matched without regard to capital letters, and the last match for a field wins.
  • The check has three steps in order: the signer, the property and the signage photo.

If something goes wrong #

  • "Enter the name of the person who authorised the tow": the signer is required.
  • "Enter the property": name the lot or address.
  • "Add a photo of the signage": tick the box once the photo is attached to the record.
