The DASHBOARD presents a snapshot of data relevant to the Loader.

    • • Note: Tapping on the Next 3 Trucks Due widget will switch the display to show the Stock By Location widget and vice-versa. 

  • The Stock By Location widget shows the current total stock and the currently planned trucks for the gangs first two locations, e.g. 14/4 indicates 14 loads of stock with 4 loads planned to be uplifted.

  • The Time Since Last Stock Call widget displays the time elapsed since a stock update was made on each location. The location displayed will change each 5 seconds (where more than one location is active), cycling through all locations.

    • • Tapping on this widget will open the STOCK screen for the selected gang and location.

  • The bottom half of the screen presents the trucks planned for uplift from the selected crew.

    • • The By Arrival Time button sorts the planned journeys by the estimated At Crew time (this is the default display)

      • The By Gang Location button sorts the display to group journeys by their associated gang location

      • The journey display can be filtered using the buttons containing statuses. These filters work by displaying journeys with the selected status and also those in any of the following statuses, e.g. On Route will show all journeys from On Route to At Crew.

      • Tapping on any of the journeys will open the JOBS screen

Note: Journeys are only removed from the Dashboard once they have reached the Loaded status in WSX.

The JOBS screen presents a full list of all the trucks planned to uplift from the crew or loader. Each job displays,

• Estimated Time of Arrival (based on At Crew ETA in WSX)

• Truck

• Uplift Log Grade

• Delivery Customer 

• Docket Number (if allocated to the uplift)

• Journey Status

• Where the blue CONFIRM button appears, this indicates the job requires Load Confirmation (see section below)

• Where a red N icon displays this indicates the job has not as yet been viewed by the Loader.

• Tapping on the Status Button for a journey will present the option to set the journey status as Loaded. 

  • • Note: Journeys should only be set as Loaded if the truck has been physically loaded.

• Where activated, crews may create jobs starting by tapping the + button on the bottom right of the screen.

  • • Note: Please consult with Trimble Support should you wish to use Loader Job creation functionality. 

• Tapping on a Job will open the Job Details screen, presenting the full details associated to the job.

    • Where Job Edit functionality is activated, tapping on the Blue Pencil icon in bottom right-hand corner of the Job Details screen will open the Job Edit screen (see below for details on editing jobs)

Where the requirement for Load Confirmation has been assigned to a job, you can complete the confirmation either by

• Selecting the CONFIRM button against the job in the Jobs screen, or tapping the Status Button (where the Load Confirmation has not previously been completed)

When Load Confirmation is initiated, you are presented with a screen showing each uplift (docket) with the options to either,

• CONFIRM - Select where the details of the load match that being loaded out, or

• NOTIFY - Send Message - Select where the load being loaded out may differ from that shown. This option also prompts you to complete a free-form text message describing the discrepancy with the load (mandatory)

In addition to the Confirm or Notify options above, you may also be required to return additional data data such as Piece Count or Fell Date. Where these fields present in the Load Confirmation screen, you must complete before the confirmation can be sent.

If Load Confirmation is set as required for your crew this must be completed before the load will be cleared from your device.

Note: Load Confirmation does NOT provide for the changing or rejection of a load. If you are unable to load the truck or wish to change the load, please ensure you communicate with your Despatch and follow your normal procedures.

The SUMMARY screen displays data for loads that have been uplifted from crews associated to the Loader. 

• Data is displayed in graphs showing uplifts by, 

  • • Current Day (by Hour), 

    • Current Week (by Day), 

    • Current Month (by Week), and 

    • Last Three Months (by Week or Month).

• Clicking on any of the bars within the Total Uplift graph will open the History screen (see below)

Notes:

• Loads are only added in the Summary and History screens once they reach the Loaded status in WSX. Loads currently showing in the Jobs or Dashboard screen therefore are not included in the Summary of History data at that time.

• The loads displayed in the Summary & History screens are a combined data set for all loads from all crews the loader has been associated to (at the time of load creation) within the selected period.

The History screen shows a list of each of the uplifts within the selected day/period.

• Buttons along the top of the screen allow you to move to adjoining days or periods from that initially selected, or to show All uplifts (for the period associated with the originally selected graph).

• Tapping on any of the uplifts in the History screen will present a full list of the Load Details for that uplift.
