Enter Locations

Click on "Locations" from the drop-down menu on the left side of the screen to open the list of locations. These locations may be quarries, asphalt plans, dirt pits, other suppliers, and common job sites. 

To add a new "Location", click on the “Add New" button located at the top right of the screen. That will display a dialog like the one below. The name and category are required fields. The dispatches use the address information, so be sure to fill that in if you want the drivers to get the addresses on the dispatches.

If a supplier is no longer needed, they can be inactivated by unchecking the ‘Active’ checkbox.  If they are duplicated, they can be merged.  Only ‘Active’ suppliers can be added to new orders.

This form also allows you to add temporary locations that aren’t suppliers. For example, if you have a location that is temporarily accepting fill, you can add them with the category “Temporary Location”. Since this might not have a name, you can enter the address in the Name control as well as in the address controls.

At the bottom of the view is a list of contacts for the location. You can add the contacts by clicking the "Add New" button at the bottom right. Multiple contacts can be added for each location.

Prior to being able to use Dump Truck Dispatcher in day-to-day operations, there are some things that need to be set up. Although it may be tempting to jump right in and add and schedule an order, there is some setup that needs to be done. While some of the information we are going to set up can be entered on the fly as you add orders, it will be a lot easier if you do this in advance.
