General

  • Allow Quick Login: Allows drivers to scan a barcode of drivers name to login or gives the drivers a selection of valid users to choose from.

  • Force Vehicle in Login: Works in conjunction with the force login setting, requiring your drivers to select a vehicle from a list when they log into a device.

  • Allow Timezone Set: The timezone of the device automatically inherits the timezone selected within the TransVirtual portal.

  • Allow Headport Set: Allow staff to change the headport on their device or restrict it to make changes only via the web portal.

  • Allow Vehicle Detail View: Allows your to review details of vehicle (that device is assigned to) and take display photo of vehicle. Recommend only a manager has this enabled as assists in vehicle setup. Feature visible in applications settings page.

Loading


  • Load via Item Scanning: If you will be scanning item barcodes onto vehicle in place of the consignment numbers this will assist drivers in tracking shortages by displaying scan counts and row colors.

  • Load Vehicle - Search Consignment before Manifests: As your drivers scan freight in the Load Vehicle page, the system will by default search for consignment numbers before General manifest numbers. If this value is enabled, the logic will search for manifest numbers before consignment numbers

  • Live 'On Delivery' Scans: As the driver loads their vehicle and the device has the setting "Display Load Scans" enabled within the TransVirtual settings of that device, live scans will be sent to the server in place of waiting for the driver to complete their load.

  • Allow Duplicate Scans: Allows the scan of duplicate consignment numbers while loading. If an item has already been scanned by that device and this is set, it will still record the second scan.

  • Allow Subdockets: If driver scans a consignment that does not exist in the system, this will allow driver to take a photo of freight and generate a sub consignment that will auto merge with the real data when entered into the web portal.

  • Allow Load on Delivery Page: If this is de-selected drivers will not be able to add consignments while in the Delivery page on the mobile devices. They will be advised to go to the Load Vehicle page to add consignment data.

  • Allow Load via Consignment Number: If this is de-selected drivers will only be able to add consignments to the device via article barcode scans and consignment numbers will not return data. This is used if you require maximum article scanning as loading via consignment numbers will not generate scan data.

  • Allow Delete in Load Page: Allows drivers to remove consignments from device while in the Load Vehicle page.

Delivery


  • Display Extra Charges Before Signature: When navigating within a consignment the extra charge page is displayed before the signature page.

  • Allow Turn Directions: Will allow the driver to use turn by turn driving instructions to get to their end location.

  • Allow Silent Clear on Delivery Page: If this is enabled, drivers will be able to clear all "Undelivered" consignments from the devices "Deliveries" page via a "Clear" menu option. The system will NOT record any "return" depot status updates for those consignments. The most common way to return consignments to depot is via the "Return Depot" button (tap delivery at top of delivery page) which WILL then change status updates against each consignment.

  • Capture Failed On Delivery Scans: If driver scans an item "Load Vehicle" and it does not exist on server, this setting will still capture a "On Delivery" scan if the item appears in system later. If this is turned off, "On Delivery" scan will not be captured for missing consignment data.


Scanning


  • Allow ReBarcode Mapping: If allowed your drivers will be able to "remap" barcodes on a given consignment. This will be used if the barcode values are not known until the freight is picked up and at that point drivers will be able to rescan all the barcodes against the given consignment.

  • Allow ReWeighting: If this is allowed, your team will be able to update consignment weight and dimensions as they scan freight.

  • Validate Linehaul Scans: If turned on, each linehaul out scan will hit the server to check against your route tables. If any issues found, user is alerted. Note, this may cause short delays between each linehaul out scan.

  • Validate Depot In Scans: If turned on, each depot in scan will hit the server to check against your route tables. If any issues found, user is alerted. Note, this may cause short delays between each depot in scan.
