Use the booking schedule
You will be able to see which vehicles are committed on which days, spot free days and clashes, and open any booking from the calendar.
Bookings › Booking Schedule shows every booking on a calendar by its PickUp Date and Dropoff Date. Each entry reads “LR – vehicle”, so a day tells you at a glance which trucks are out. It is the dispatcher’s planning screen; the Bookings list is for working one record.
There are three views. Month is the overview; Planner lays bookings out for allocation; Year shows the load across months. A day with more entries than fit shows “+N more”.
Before You Start
- Bookings have PickUp Date and Dropoff Date set; a booking without dates cannot be placed on a day.
- Vehicles are assigned where known; an unassigned booking shows its LR without a vehicle.
Steps
- Open Bookings › Booking Schedule. The second Bookings menu, the grouped one, holds the schedule and Quotes & Orders.
- Start in Month view. Each day lists its bookings as “LR – vehicle”. Multi-day trips span from pickup to dropoff.
- Click +N more on a busy day to see every entry for that day.
- Click an entry to open the booking. Change the vehicle, driver or dates there and the schedule updates.
- Switch to Planner when allocating vehicles for the coming days. It shows bookings laid out for assignment, so a vehicle on two trips at once is visible.
- Switch to Year to see how the months compare. Useful for seasonal planning and for spotting a month with few bookings.
- Create the next booking from Bookings › Add with dates that fit the gap you found.
Views and what they show
View | Shows | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
Month | A calendar grid with “LR – vehicle” entries per day | Today and this week |
Planner | Bookings laid out for allocating vehicles and drivers | Assigning trucks to the next days |
Year | The spread of bookings across twelve months | Seasonal view and capacity |
Entry “LR – vehicle” | One booking with its number and vehicle | Click to open |
+N more | More bookings on that day than fit the cell | Click to list them all |
What This Changes
- The schedule reads bookings; it changes nothing by itself. Edits made from an opened booking change the record, and the calendar follows.
- A booking moved to new dates leaves its old day and appears on the new ones in every view.
Tips
- Use the fullscreen control in the top bar when reading a full month on a small screen.
- Assign vehicles as soon as they are known; an entry without a vehicle is a trip that cannot be checked for clashes.
- Pair the schedule with Live Tracking: the schedule says where a vehicle should be, the map says where it is.
