Web application settings
- Allow changing tasks account – allows changing to another subaccount (subaccounts can be different business units/regions).
- Play “task created” sound – plays a sound in the web dashboard after a task has been created.
- Show unassigned tasks to workers –Ā allows employees to see unassigned tasks from the mobile app and assign tasks to themselves.
Mobile application settings
- Task searching – enables searching Tasks in the mobile app.
- Task accepting – allows drivers to accept tasks assigned to them.
- Task rejecting – allows drivers to reject tasks assigned to them.
- Interactive task accepting – enables a pop-up in the mobile app each time a New Task is assigned to the driver.*
- Navigation app selection – allows the driver to choose between navigation apps available on their phone.
*The driver must take action – accept or reject the Task – in order to close the pop-up (if the driver accepts the Task, the job status changes to Accepted).
If the driver rejects the Task, the job goes to the Unassigned Tasks list (if auto-assign rotation is enabled, the system will look for a new driver to assign the Rejected task).
Dispatch & Routing settings
Push the cogwheel icon on the top right of your screen to open SettingsĀ and chooseĀ Dispatch & routing from the left sidebar.
Here you can manage options related to dispatching, route optimization, and auto-assigning.
Defaults
- Task duration – stoppage time (service time) in each Task location (used by ETA calculation and route optimization).
- Task expiry – value (in seconds) in which period Tasks are being canceled if no action is taken.
- Assignee proximity radius – value (in meters) which triggers geo zone for each Task.
Optimization
- Optimization objective – on the basis of which tasks are optimized.
- Vehicles – to use as few drivers/vehicles as possible.
- Transportation time – for the shortest mileage.
- Completion time – for the quickest route (shortest driving time).
- Optimize after creation – this allows the driver app to re-calculate the route each time a new task is assigned to the driver.
- Optimize when on duty – each time the mobile app sends new coordinates of the driver, the software automatically re-calculates the route of the driver.
Auto-assigning
- Auto-assigning – enables auto-assign function in the software.
- Auto-assign orders – enables auto-assign function (orders via API must have the trigger “Auto-assign = true ” described).
- Auto-assign optimize – every task assigned to the driver will be calculated by the route optimization system (Settings: optimization objective).
- Auto-assign time – time value trigger that is calculated from Complete After the value (this function is being used for scheduled deliveries – if u want to trigger a task immediately and auto-assign it, then leave the value to 0.)
- Auto-assign rotate time – value in seconds; If there is no response from the assigned driver within that time, the program will search for a new driver.
- Auto-assign maximum distance – maximum distance (in meters) from the Task to the driver (e.g. if the value is set to 3000 m, the program wonāt assign the task to a driver that is further than 3 km from the Pickup point).
- Auto-assign maximum tasks – the maximum amount of tasks that 1 driver is capable of completing during work time (e.g. when the maximum value is set to 6 tasks, then GSMtasks wonāt auto-assign jobs to this driver after they reach the maximum task amount; 1 food delivery order consists of 2 tasks: Pickup & Drop-off)
