Enhancements/Improvements
Branch and Date Selection
Moved the branch selection and date selection to the header of the application to create more room for grid view.
Reordered Toolbars
The toolbar for Routes, Route Details, and Unloaded Orders has been redesigned. You can now view selected orders only with the Only show selected order button.
Visibility Dashboard: Single Route View
Newly incorporated into the Visibility Dashboard is the ability to see single route progress. By selecting a device indicator icon, the map displays the route and zooms to scale accordingly.
Each of the small circles (without a blue border) is a stop on the route. The color and shape inside of that circle represent the current status. Red indicates the stop is either delivered late or the ETA is late, while green indicates the stop is early/on time or is tracking early or on time. A check indicates the stop has been completed. Circles with a number indicate stops that have yet to be completed.
Hovering over a stop reveals information such as the time window, the planned arrival time, and if available, the actual delivery time and estimated time. Clicking the stop shows the Edit Route button, which returns you to the planning page.
The route line is colored in showing all the completed segments. Incomplete segments are indicated by a dashed line.
Several new map tools can be used in Single Route View. Clicking these allows you to toggle fully completed routes, GPS breadcrumbs, or other routes.
When completed routes are toggled off, routes that are fully completed are hidden from the map. When other routes are toggled off, then only the current route selected is displayed.
When GPS breadcrumbs are visible, each ping is represented by a green dot along the route. Clicking these dots displays the time of the ping, the speed of the truck at that time of the ping, the header, and the odometer (If available in your GPS integration).
When selecting a single route, the graphs on the top-right are hidden in place of route details showing each stop, the status, the planned arrival departure, and the actual or estimated arrival time. Selecting the stop details icon opens the DRTrack Stop Details page in a new browser tab. To bring the graphs back into view, click the Graphs icon at the top of the pane:
Fixed Route Additions
Daily Planner can now call out expected orders for fixed routes, and you can trim expected orders from a route. A red outline around a route card indicates there are no filled orders for that route, and there is a field added to the card called “Expected” that shows the count of Expected Orders. At the top of each pane, there is an overall count of routes or orders that are still expected.
Hovering over each of these counts will show more detail.
If you would like to view missing accounts overall, you can click on the count in either the Route or Unloaded Orders headers. This will open the Missing Accounts window. Here you can search, hide unwanted columns, and rearrange columns.
Clicking on the header count for Route Details will open the same window, but filtered down to just show the missing accounts for that specific route.
When viewing the map there are also visual indicators to tell you whether an order is still expected. A stop on a route will show a red outline if it is expected. Clicking the stop to view details will show a blue E to indicate this, and Consolidated orders will show an E next to each order to indicate this.
Unloaded Orders show on the map with an E in the map point.
If there are some expected orders for a given day that you know won’t come in, you can trim those orders off the route easily with Trim Expected Orders. This can be done per route, or as a batch action.
Daily Planner will ask for confirmation as the trim action cannot be undone. Clicking Cancel will return you to the main page without trimming should you change your mind.
Once the Trim operation is complete you’ll receive a toast message notifying you how many orders were trimmed.
To filter for only routes expecting orders or fully received routes, you can use the new quick filters.
Similarly, there are now expected order quick filters on the Unloaded Orders pane.
Free Form Lasso Behavior for Map Planning
Added a new, second lasso behavior if you prefer not to click to add anchors to the map. After clicking the Lasso tool, press Shift. The tool becomes freeform and anchors are created automatically to allow resizing. To use the existing lasso behavior, don’t hold down Shift while lassoing.
Optimize Sequence for Multiple Routes Hot Key
Added (Ctrl+Alt+W) hotkey to “silently” optimize the sequence of multiple selected routes.
Duplicate an Unloaded Order
Added the ability to duplicate an unloaded order from the Kebab menu. The duplicated order will have the same name as the original order but appended with ^1. If the order is already appended with ^{integer] then the duplicate order will be appended with ^[integer + 1].
Address2 to Card Configurator
Address2 is now a field available to drag onto unloaded order cards.
Retain Order and Line Item Selection Between Sessions
Visibility preferences of line item details on unloaded orders and loaded stop cards are now retained between sessions.
Planning for In-Progress Routes
To prevent accidental changes to in-progress routes the following changes were made:
Users are prevented from dragging stops before any stops that have actual arrival/departure events.
Users are prevented from dragging stops with actual arrival/departure events to other routes or back to the unloaded orders pane.
Disabled Right Click Unload on Stop Card for stops with actual arrival/departures.
Disabled Right Click Optimize and Right Click Reschedule for Routes that are currently logged out.
Grid View
To improve data density, you can toggle between the card view or grid view for the Routes, Route Details, and Unloaded Order panes. To enable the grid, select the hamburger menu next to the filter button.
Once selected, the Unloaded Orders pane snaps to a horizontal view below the map in grid view. You can drag the Unloaded Orders pane into a full-screen view if desired. Routes and Route Details remain vertical, but will also display in grid view if selected.
All of the icons at the top of the panes work the same way as if cards were selected.
Scrolling to the right of the grid will show a configuration icon, allowing you to configure the columns displayed. Aside from the default columns, any number of user fields or volume types can be added. The configured data is retained between sessions.
The column will not resize based on the number of columns selected, you will need to scroll left and right to view all the details.
The list is automatically paginated, but you can configure the number of records they’d like to see before having to go to the next page.
Columns can be rearranged by dragging the column header to the desired position. These column orders will be retained between sessions.
Selecting a column header will automatically sort the data ascending and descending using the data in the column. The entire grid can also be sorted using the icon at the top of the panel.
Just like with cards, the rows in the grid for each order can be dragged to and from other panes to modify routes.
To view the line items in an order, simply select the arrow next to the order, and it will expand showing each line item associated.
Reordering of Filter Columns
You can now reorder each filter column. To rearrange the columns, drag the header left or right to the desired location.
