Dispatch desk on the Mac

Send messages to drivers, keep road segments and driver skills, store signatures, rank waiting calls and check document expiry. You will be able to do each of these without leaving the Mac app.

Before you start #

You need a connection to the server. A write made while the Mac is offline is refused with a reason, because its result depends on what the server holds now.

Steps #

1. Choose Dispatch desk in the sidebar.
2. Messages: compose a message to a person, send a held email again, or mark a message read. The inbox, sent and all lists are separate tabs.
3. Roads and Skills: add or remove entries with the plus and delete buttons.
4. Signatures: add a stored signature for a person.
5. Actions: Auto-assign ranks every waiting call. Expiry looks at one driver or truck for documents that run out soon.

If something goes wrong #

• A button is grey: check the connection chip at the top right, or your role.
• The server refuses a change: read the sentence it gives. It names the field to fix.
