Setting how changes made in Opter Driver are approved
By default, changes made in Opter Driver must be manually approved in dispatch for the change to be saved, but it can be set so that no changes at all need to be approved, or only certain changes need to be approved.
Global setting for approval of changes
How to set what is generally applicable to all changes:
- In Opter, click on Settings > Mobile data > Settings mobile data.
- If Name is not already in the list, click on an empty row in the App.ApproveChanges column and then on the down arrow in the row being added. Select App.ApproveChanges from the list.
Enter one of the following in the cell to the right:
”True” (default): all changes must be manually approved in dispatch.
This means that every order change and shipment change made in the app is displayed on the Pending changes panel in dispatch, and must be manually approved there before the change is saved. For instructions on how to approve changes, see Approving changes in dispatch.
“False”: changes do not have to be manually approved in dispatch.
If no value is specified for App.ApproveChanges, it will be treated as “true”.
- Click on Save.
Making exceptions to the global setting
If App.ApproveChanges has been set to "false", changes never have to be approved in dispatch, regardless of the settings made elsewhere. If App.ApproveChanges has been set to "true", i.e. changes require approval in dispatch, exceptions can be made for certain drivers/vehicles, changes to specific information, or changes to orders with a specific service; these then do not require approval in dispatch.
