Dispatch New Features

Dispatch enhancements have been added between v21.11 and v21.22.

Daily Activity

  • A Show Employee Profile button () was added to the screen toolbar.
    Select and employee or work with an associated employee, then select the Show Employee Profile button. The employee's record opens in the Employee Profile screen.
    The Daily Activity work list pane with the Show Employee Profile button circled in red.
  • In the Employee Activities dialog, work is sorted first by From Time (if it is extra pay for activity-based work, the From Time of the related work is used). If the From Time is the same, then it is sorted by Category in the following order:
    1. Work
    2. ExtraPay (shown after the corresponding Work and WorkPieceNum)
    3. Absence
    4. Incident
    5. Accident

    The Employee Activities dialog with the Category and From Time columns circled in red.
  • An OK button was added to the Extra Pay dialog.
    The Extra Pay dialog with OK circled in red.
  • A Work Assignment Options dialog is now available. This shows open work and how suitable it is for the selected employee based on absences conflicts, skills conflicts, and work assignment rules (in that order). If the listed work contains multiple violations, only the top violation is shown. To see more details, view the View Work Rule Progression dialog and look at the Violations tab.

    Work is shown individually, unless it has been grouped using the Group Open Work screen. After viewing and determining a work assignment option, assign the work as needed.


    The Daily Activity screen with the right-click menu open and Work Assignment Options circled in red. The Work Assignment Options dialog is open and shows the work options for the selected operator.

    Work Assignment Options is available from the right-click Smart Menu in the Employee and Quick Filter panes. It can also be used in Work Assignment Assistant.
