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.

Icons in the shipment list

If the system administrator has chosen to show icons in the shipment list, these can be used to quickly get an overview of which shipments are special. It can be seen if orders have deviations, proofs of delivery, loose items, price items, extras, packages, and attached images and/or files. The image shows how it can look in the shipment list for a shipment that has attached images and/or files (1), deviations (2), packages (3) and price items (4).

The list below shows the icons and what they mean.

Icon	Description
	The deviation icon is shown for shipments that have one or more deviations.
	The attachments icon is displayed for shipments that have images or other files attached.
	The package symbol is displayed for shipments that have one or more packages.
	The proof of delivery icon is shown for shipments that have one or more proofs of delivery.

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

The light grey circle indicates that the stop is a terminal, but not a terminal that is part of a ferry line.
The dark grey circle indicates that the stop is a normal address, i.e. no terminal and no ferry line.
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 bar also includes the SCAN button, if you want to scan a freight bill or package label to find out to which shipment the goods belong.

The image shows a search that matches two shipments.

Numbers in the image above:

Click on the icon to search through the shipments in the list.
To end the search, tap the icon again.
The search bar is displayed once the icon (1) has been tapped. 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.
Tap the icon to save the search entered in the search bar (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 is displayed in the search bar (2), then tap the same icon (3) as you did when saving the search.
Tap the icon to clear the search bar (2) and display all shipments.
Tap the SCAN button to scan a freight bill or package label to find out to which shipment the goods belong. To end the scan, tap the SCAN button again.
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 is displayed in the search bar, then tap the same icon (3) as when you saved the search.

Menu options on the shipment page

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

Profile to go to the Profile page. For more information, see the Profile section below.
New order to create a new order. If the New order menu option is not displayed, new orders cannot be created in the app. This is a setting applied by your system administrator.
Settings to configure settings for the app. For more information, see Settings in Opter Driver for iOS.
Log out to log out of the app.
Select to select one or more shipments from the list, and then, for example, to set their status or give them away. Select shipments by tapping on them in the shipment list.
Tip
A shipment can also be selected by dragging it to the left. To then select more shipments, drag them to the left as well or tap them in the shipment list. If a shipment has been selected, but should be deselected, tap or drag it to the left.
After that, you can, for example, change status, give away shipments, or leave at the terminal. For more information, see Changing the status of shipments in Opter Driver for iOS and Giving away shipments in Opter Driver for iOS.
Update to manually start an update of the shipment list from the server. Normally, the shipment list is automatically and continuously updated. It is also updated when the filtering or sorting options are changed, and when switching between tabs (Todo/Done).
Tip
It is also possible to update by dragging the shipment list downwards.
Sort if you want to sort the shipments without a route yourself.
If the shipments are linked to a route, that sorting/order is always the primary one. If there are shipments that do not have a route, the sorting you carry out applies to those shipments. If no shipments have a route, then the sorting you carry out applies to all shipments.
For those shipments without a route, the list can be sorted by Status, Point in time (auto) (pickup/delivery time), Point in time (most recently scanned), Postcode or Name. You can choose whether to sort them in descending or ascending order by tapping Order.
If some shipments have a route and some shipments do not, all shipments that have a route are listed at the top of the list.
If no shipments have a route, and if you do not set the sorting, the shipments in the list are automatically sorted by pickup/delivery time (Point in time (auto)) in descending order, i.e. the shipments closest in time are displayed at the top of the list. To reset the sorting to this, tap Sort and select None.
Filter to filter the shipment list. You can filter on Direct, Line haul, Pickup or Delivery. To remove the filtering, select None.
