Customising the price item view in Opter Driver

By default, the driver can add new items and make changes to items on the missions in Opter Driver by selecting Price items from the menu in the detail view, the item view will then open and the driver can fill in the fields for the new item or change an existing item. This can be useful if the driver carries out an extra service in connection with the delivery, for example.

Note:

For Opter Driver for iOS the driver can also add new articles to the POD view by clicking Price item, the article view will open and the driver can fill in the fields for the new article.

It can be set up so that the drivers cannot add or change price items on shipments in the app.

Setting whether drivers are allowed to add and modify items

Choose whether drivers should be able to edit items already on the assignment, and choose whether drivers should be able to add new items. Proceed as follows:

  1. In Opter, click on Settings > Mobile data > Settings mobile data.

  2. Click on an empty row in the Name column and then on the down arrow in the row being added.

  3. Select ArticlesPermission from the list. Enter “True” or “False” in the Value column as follows:

    • ”True” (default): The Price items option is displayed on the menu in the detail view of Opter Driver. Drivers can modify items already on the mission.

    • “False”: The menu item Price items is not displayed in the detail view. Drivers cannot add or change items on the missions.

  4. Click on an empty row in the Name column and then on the down arrow in the row being added.

  5. Select AddNewPriceItemPermission from the list. Enter “True” or “False” in the Value column as follows:

    • ”True” (default): Drivers can add new items to missions in the POD view (Opter Driver for iOS only) and via the menu in the detail view.

      Note:

      ArticlesPermission must also be set to 'True' (default) if drivers are to be able to add new items via the menu in the detail view.

    • “False”: Drivers cannot add new items, either in the POD view or via the menu in the detail view.

  6. Click on Save.

Note:

By default, changes made in Opter Driver need to be manually approved in the dispatch centre for the change to be saved, but you can set it so that no changes need to be approved at all, or that only certain changes need to be approved.

Customising the Price items view

In Opter Driver for iOS, when drivers select Price items from the menu, one of the following occurs:

In Opter Driver for Android, the price item view looks like this:

It is possible to choose which fields to display in the price item view and the order in which they are displayed, and also to rename them. The price item view is managed with the settings starting with “SPI_” in the mobile data settings. There are three types of SPI_settings:

For more information on SPI_ settings for the price item view, see Mobile data settings (window).

Tip

If no settings are configured for any of the mobile data settings starting with SPI_, all the fields in the price item view will be displayed with default names.

Note:

All SPI_Permission settings are set to “true” by default, which means that all the fields are displayed in the price item view if no setting is applied at all.

If an SPI_Permission setting is set to “true”, all the other SPI_Permission settings to be displayed in the price item view must be set to “true”, otherwise only the one set to “true” will be displayed.

If an SPI_Permission setting is set to “false”, all the other SPI_Permission settings to be displayed in the price item view must be set to “true”, otherwise no fields at all will be displayed in the price item view.
