Inbound Assignment Board

Purpose

The Assignment Board sits on the right of the plan board. It is where office gives a ready job to a named loader, and where a loader's break is queued.

Who does this

Office and Dispatch.

When you need this

When a ready job must go to a named loader.

Before you start

  • You have the right account for this screen (see Permissions and Access).
  • The date and record you are working on are correct.
  • Words you do not know are in the Glossary.

Access

Inbound → 1. Planning, then the ASSIGNMENT BOARD on the right of the Plan tab

The ready list Add Break

Main Features

Assign a Ready Job

  1. Review READY TO DISPATCH.
  2. Confirm the row really is the next job that should go out.
  3. Assign it to the correct loader's queue.
  4. Confirm the notification behaviour if prompted, or if the board is set to send automatically.
  5. After assigning, the job appears under that loader in the ASSIGNMENT list.

Queue a Loader Break

Choose Add Break, then:

  1. Select the correct loader.
  2. Select the correct break type.
  3. Confirm the start time and duration.
  4. Use the send options according to the current office process.

A queued break changes which job goes out next. If a break was entered wrongly, edit or cancel it from the assignment queue.

Fields

Control What it means
READY TO DISPATCH The list of jobs that can be assigned
Clocked In: All Filters which loaders are visible
Auto TG Whether the browser attempts a notification automatically
TG Sends the notification for that specific row
Add Break Queues a break or lunch

Status

Shown Meaning
Assigned The job is in that loader's queue
Auto TG: ON An automatic notification will be attempted
Auto: Off Automatic assignment is not actively assigning until changed or run manually

Auto TG: ON does not guarantee anything was sent. It attempts a notification only when the row is eligible, is first in the queue, and the loader is idle. It is not proof of delivery.

Notes

  • Save stores the plan and the assignment. It does not mean the notification was sent. Sending is a separate step.
  • Confirm the loader and the dock before sending.
  • Never use another person's or a shared account. The loader must be a real stored user.
  • A loader's own clock state and physical readiness belong to the loader screen, not here.

When Something Goes Wrong

You see What it means What to do
Assigned, but automatic notification send failed The assignment saved; the message did not Keep the assignment and use that row's TG action. Do not assign it again
A notification failed after a break was saved The break saved; the message did not Keep the break and use its TG action. Do not create a duplicate break
A job will not assign It probably still shows a missing status, or the loader is not clocked in Fix the plan first, or check the loader's clock state
The wrong loader got the job It was assigned before the clock or readiness check Edit or cancel it from the assignment queue, then reassign deliberately

Assign Work and Clock Out

The Assignment Board includes Assign Work and Clock Out beside Add Break. Select the intended loader and review the assignment before confirming.
