Block or warn about another resource when scanning in Opter Driver for iOS

You can set it up so that the scan is blocked or the driver receives a warning if they try to depart and/or pick up a mission that is not scheduled on that resource. You set the status from which departure and/or pick-up scans are blocked or the driver receives a warning.

You make the general setting in the office settings. After that, you can make exceptions for certain drivers and/or vehicles.

Block scanning

If you have set it to block scanning from a certain status onwards if the driver tries to scan a mission that is not scheduled on that resource, the text Stop! This shipment is assigned to a different resource.The shipment is planned for a different resource will be displayed. The driver can also see which resource the mission is planned on, see image below.

Note:

There is no change of status or change of resource. The scan is displayed in the order log in the order reception, (see the Order log tab in the Order log section).

Instructions for drivers can be found in Scan freight bills and package labels with Opter Driver for iOS.

Tip

For example, if you want to change the colour of the text displayed in the app and you are using the XML file App.OpterDriver.Design, search for OTHERRESORUCEBLOCKING and OTHERRESOURCERESOURCE, and change the colour of the two lines in the scanrows and/or scandetailrows sections. More information can be found at App.OpterDriver.Design.

Tip

If you want to block delivery scanning for a resource that does not have the assignment assigned to it, there are instructions in Blocking delivery scanning if the shipment is not assigned to the resource.

Warning when scanning

If you have set it up so that the resource (driver/vehicle) receives a warning in Opter Driver from a certain status that the driver is departing or picking up something belonging to another resource's mission, the text Note! This shipment has been transferred from a different resource.. The shipment is planned for a different resource. The driver can also see which resource the mission was planned on, see image below.

Note:

Change of status and change of resource occurs. The driver has thus taken over the task from the other resource. The driver can undo the scan.
