Product Tips and Frequently Asked Questions

ClosedHow do I refresh the new mobile interface?

At times you might need to refresh the mobile interface to reflect changes. To refresh, you can press the F5 key or click the refresh button on your browser's tool bar.

ClosedWhat happens when I update the status?

As soon as you click Send Update(s), the new status (for example, Arrived On Site) is reflected on the Dispatch board to show your progress throughout the day.

ClosedWhat if I want to change back to my original schedule?

If you have not saved your new itinerary order, you can click Cancel to revert back to your original schedule. If you have already saved your schedule, you can manually reorder your itinerary back to the original.

ClosedWhat happens if I lose my Internet connection?

The upgraded mobile interface automatically searches for an Internet connection. If your connection is lost and then reconnected, the mobile interface continues without interruption, and you do not need to log back in. Status updates are communicated only with an Internet connection.

ClosedWhat happens if I accidentally select the wrong status?

You can change the status if you have not clicked Send Update(s); however, if you have clicked the Send Update(s) button, the status is already communicated to the Dispatcher and can no longer be changed.

ClosedWhat if I forget to update the status on an assignment?

The system allows you to change status on multiple assignments and update them all at once using the Send Update(s) button. Note that the time stamp on your local computer applies to all of the updates when successfully communicated.

ClosedWhat if I get an error message?

If you encounter an error message, refresh your browser by pressing the F5 key or click the refresh button on your browser's tool bar. If the error persists, follow your normal escalation procedures.

ClosedWhat happens to the estimated arrival times if I change my itinerary?

Once your schedule is reordered, the drive times are estimated using driving statistics. These times are estimates only and may not reflect “scheduled” times that account for other various factors. You will notice an asterisk (*) beside an estimated arrival time.
