Pages, tabs and menus in Opter Driver for iOS

Once you have logged into Opter Driver, the Shipments, Map, Scanner and Chat options are displayed at the bottom of the screen. Tap the different options to go to the shipment page, map, scanner or chat page. The red colour shows which page you are on. The image below shows the shipment page in the app.

Shipments

The Todo and Done tabs are located at the top of the shipment page. Once you have logged into the Opter Driver app, you will automatically be taken to the Todo tab, where you will see your Current shipments, new and revoked shipments. Current shipments are shipments that you have confirmed and they may, for example, have the Confirmed or Picked up status. The number next to Todo shows how many shipments you have, i.e. the current shipments you have to carry out, and the new and revoked shipments you need to confirm. The number next to Done shows how many shipments you have completed.

Drag your finger up and down the screen to see the full list.

If you have new shipments (New) or Revoked shipments, they are displayed above Current shipments.

Todo

The information displayed for each shipment depends on the settings applied by the dispatcher or system administrator. For example, it might look like this:

The numbers in the above image indicate:

  1. Sender’s name, for example, a company name or a private individual.

  2. The street name and number of the pickup address.

  3. Receiver’s name, for example, a company name or a private individual.

  4. The street name and number of the delivery address.

  5. The shipment status.

  6. The earliest and latest pickup time, time of day.

  7. The earliest and latest delivery time, time of day.

  8. The customer’s logo or name.

  9. Order number.

Tip

If you work with co-loads, see Co-loads in the list of tasks above.

The colours of the leftmost circle indicate whether the stop is a terminal (1), a regular address (2), or a ferry line (3) (i.e. a port or terminal).

  1. Light grey circle indicates that the stop is a terminal, but not a terminal that is part of a ferry line.

  2. Dark grey circle indicates that the stop is a regular address, i.e. no terminal and no ferry line.

  3. The blue circle indicates that the stop is a ferry line (i.e. a port or terminal).

The search function

There is a search function at the top left of the shipment page. It is possible to search among shipments for a specific address or a specific sender or receiver, for example. Searches can also be saved, so you can quickly click on the keywords further down the screen. The search field also contains the SCAN button, if you want to scan a consignment note or parcel label to find out which mission the goods belong to.

The image shows a search that matches two shipments.

Numbers in the image above:

  1. Click on the icon to search the list of missions.

    If you want to end the search, press the icon again.

  2. The search bar appears after you press the icon (1). Type what you want to search for, such as a specific address. It is possible to search for one or multiple words, and the Boolean operators "AND" and "OR" can also be used. "AND" does not have to be typed, as it is the default between words if more than one word is typed with spaces between them.

    For example, to search for all shipments that contain both the street names “Arenavägen” and “Importvägen”, simply type “Arenavägen Importvägen” (or “Arenavägen AND Importvägen”) in the search field. Instead, to search for all shipments containing either “Arenavägen” or “Importvägen”, or both street names, type “Arenavägen OR Importvägen” in the search field.

  3. Tap the icon to save the search you have entered in the search field (2). The search is then displayed further down the screen as a shortcut (6).

    To delete a saved search, tap it (6) so that it appears in the search bar (2), then tap the same icon (3) as when you saved the search.

  4. Tap the icon to clear the search bar (2) and display all missions.

  5. Press the SCAN button to scan a consignment note or parcel label to find out which mission the goods belong to. If you want to end the scan, press the SCAN button again.

  6. Saved searches are displayed here. If there are a lot of them, drag your finger sideways to see all the searches.

    To use a saved search, tap on it. The search is then displayed in the search bar (2) and the list below shows the shipments that match the search.

    To delete a saved search, tap it so that it appears in the search bar, then tap the same icon (3) as when you saved the search.

In the menu () at the top right corner of the shipment page, the following selections can be made:

Detailed view

Tap the shipment on the shipment page to see detailed information about the shipment and the order. The detail view shows, for example, the current status, the next status and the route that may be used.

It is also possible to Add image or change the status of a shipment by selecting Change status. You can also choose to Give away assignments or leave At terminal, and more. If some options are missing from the menu, this is due to settings applied by your dispatcher or system administrator.

Scanner

Freight bills and package labels can be scanned with Opter Driver. For more information, see Scan freight bills and package labels with Opter Driver for iOS.

Chat

On the chat page of Opter Driver, drivers can write messages to and get answers from the dispatcher.

If the handset button is green, you can also call the dispatcher by pressing that button.

If the button is grey, it is not possible to call dispatch from the chat page in Opter Driver, because the system administrator has not entered a number for dispatch in Opter.
