Workload
The week's busy days and what each takes: stops, travel, route time, clean and prep, and the hours on the schedule.
WhereDispatch›Workload
Workload shows how much work each day of the week holds, so you can put enough people on the schedule. It is a tab of Dispatch, beside Client pickups, for anyone who has Dispatch.
Steps
- Open Dispatch, Workload.
- Pick the week with the arrows, or This week.
- Filter to Every employee or one person, and Every truck or one truck.
- Read Busy days: the darker the day, the busier. Switch the measure between Events, Stops and Hours, and the span to a month. Press a day to open it.
- Read By day: Stops, Travel, Route time, Clean and prep, WH tasks, the Total in people-hours, and the hours On the schedule.
- Compare the total with the hours on the schedule. A day with more work than scheduled hours is marked.
Good to know
- A route whose every stop is done shows what happened. The rest show the plan, in grey.
- Coming back to be cleaned lists everything on the week's pickups that has a clean and prep time, by category. That is the time to put on warehouse tasks.
- Clean and prep times come from Settings, Inventory, Weights and times. See Weights and times.
- Route time is from leaving to the last Done once a truck has run, and the planned length of the day before.
If something goes wrong
- Clean and prep is zero. The items coming back have no clean and prep minutes yet. Add them on Weights & times.
- There is no Workload tab. Your role does not have Dispatch.
