Freight bills and package labels can be scanned with Opter Driver. The package ID and freight bill number can also be entered manually.
Scanning freight bills and package labels
Log into the app. For more information, see Basics of Opter Driver for iOS.
Tap Scanner at the bottom of the screen.
Tap Pick up or Leave.
A list of pickup or delivery locations is displayed, depending on whether Pick up or Leave has been selected.
The hotkeys work like this (Opter Driver 2.4.7 and later)In order to work faster in the app, there are quick buttons that remember your last choices, see (1) and (2) in the image below. If you make new selections, buttons (1) and (2) are updated to always show your latest selections, and pressing any of buttons (1) and (2) will execute the sequence shown on the button.
The buttons appear after you have scanned the first time, and they are useful if you want to make the same selection again:
Press the button (1) to repeat your last selections in the following sequence:
Printed at Pick up.
Click on Pick up from sender or on any of the terminals in the list.
Printed at Freight bill or Package.
The example in the image (1) will repeat the sequence Pick up, Pick up from sender and Freight bill, without you having to repeat these keystrokes.
Press the button (2) to repeat your last selections in the following sequence:
Printed at Leave.
Click on Leave at receiver or on any of the terminals in the list.
Printed at Freight bill or Package.
The example in the image (2) will repeat the sequence Leave, Leave at receiver and Freight bill, without you having to repeat these keystrokes.
Then continue from step 6 onwards below.
Click on Pick up from sender, Leave at receiver or on any of the terminals in the list. It is also possible to search for a terminal by entering the name of the terminal in the search box at the top.
A list of scan types is displayed.
Tap Freight bill or Package, depending on what you are scanning.
If you have to type or scan a scan comment, this box appears (see image below). A scanning comment can be, for example, a QR code or a barcode placed on the wall inside a cold store. The reason for doing this is to ensure that the driver leaves the goods in the freezer and not outside.
Do in one of the following ways:
Press the SCAN button (1) and scan the scan comment.
The SCAN button (2) turns green when it has detected a QR code or barcode. When you are satisfied with the scan, press the SCAN button, and then the Save and start scanning button (3).
Press in the empty field (1) and enter the scan comment. Then press the button Save and start scanning (3).
Note:The scan comment will be added to all packages and waybills that you scan, until you press End.
Select one of the following:
Scan freight bills and package labels.
Enter the consignment note number or parcel number and then press the search icon.
TipTo switch the mobile device's flashlight on or off, press the flash icon (A). Yellow flash icon means the torch is on (as in the picture below), grey flash icon means it is off.
The scan list for Opter Driver version 2.4.3 or earlierFor example, when a freight bill or package label has been scanned, it may look like the picture above, depending on the settings made by the system administrator. The picture shows that it is a package label that has been scanned (1). Furthermore, the picture shows the menu (2), the sender's name (3), the receiver's name (4), the freight bill number (5), the package ID/freight bill number (6) and the order number (7). Above the number (8) in the picture, the sequence number of the scanned package on the order (in this case "1") and the total number of packages in the order (in this case "3") are shown. If package labels are scanned, package rows may also be displayed here. The information displayed is set by the system administrator.
Tap the () menu (2) to view the scan details and/or add a proof of delivery.
Tip
If the () menu (2) is not displayed, it may be due to one of the following:
The information has not yet been synchronised between the app and the server.
That you do not the resource to which the mission is allocated or so the scan.
That the scan failed.
That you have Opter Driver version 2.4.6 or later, then the menu appears when you drag the task to the left and release.
The scan list for Opter Driver version 2.4.6 or laterAs of Opter Driver version 2.4.6, the scan list has been improved and works as follows:
In the scan list you can see all the parcels on the mission, even those that have not been scanned (6).
For example, when a freight bill or package label has been scanned, it may look like the picture above, depending on the settings made by the system administrator. The picture shows that it is a package label that has been scanned (1). Furthermore, the image shows the consignment note number (2) and that you have now scanned two out of four packages (3). The order has a total of four parcels. The image also shows the last scanned parcel number or consignment note number (4), the order number (5), parcels not yet scanned (6) and scanned parcels (7). In the scan list, scanned and not yet scanned packages are shown with different background colours, see (6) and (7) in the image.
For each individual package, you can change dimensions, undo scans and add discrepancies. You select parcels in one of the following ways:
Click on the magic wand icon . The scanner is then activated, but in this mode only so that you can easily select parcels by touching the parcel label with the scanner. A menu will open where you can change dimensions, undo the scan and add deviations for the collit. (The scanner switches itself off.)
Click on the magic wand icon and point the scanner at the waybill to open the menu listing all packages. Tap on the column you want to make changes for. A new menu will open where you can change dimensions, undo the scan and add deviations for the kit.
In the scan list, drag the assignment/scan to the left to open the menu where all packages are listed. Tap on the column you want to make changes for. A new menu will open where you can change dimensions, undo the scan and add deviations for the kit.
If for a mission you want to undo the scan for all packages, drag the mission/scan to the right (1) and release when the text Undo appears (2).
If you want to delete a failed scan, drag the mission/scan to the right and release when the text Ta bort appears.
In the truth list, the following colours are used to show the latest status of the collit:
Colour of the frame Status of the collage Black Ongoing.
White Found misplaced.
Grey Found one.
Yellow Already scanned.
Orange Orange means one of the following:
Timeout.
Tom.
Problem. Something went wrong.
Did not find anything.
Lila Found several.
If you want to see more details about the scan, tap on the mission in the scan list and the scan details view will open. The scan details displayed are set by the system administrator.
If you receive the text Stop! This shipment is assigned to a different resource.If you get the text Stop! This shipment is assigned to a different resource. The shipment is planned for a different resource:
The scan was blocked because the mission is scheduled on another resource. You can also see which resource the assignment is planned on. You may not load this mission.
There is no change of status or change of resource.
If you receive the text Note! This shipment has been transferred from a different resource.If you get the text Note! This shipment has been transferred from a different resource. The shipment is planned for a different resource:
You have scanned a job that was scheduled on another resource. You can also see which resource the assignment was planned on. You have now taken over from the other resource.
Change of status and change of resource occurs.
If you accidentally scanned the wrong mission, you can undo the scan by dragging the mission/scan to the right (1) and releasing when the text Undo appears (2).
When you have finished scanning, go to End. One of the following happens:
If you scanned a consignment note, or scanned all the packages on the mission, the scan page closes and your scans are saved.
If you scanned parcels, but not all parcels on the mission, you will see a menu called Unscanned packages. If you want to scan the packages that have not yet been scanned, close the menu and continue scanning.
If you do not want to continue scanning, you can press End (2) in the menu. The scan page closes and your scans are saved.
Depending on the settings made by your system administrator, you may also have the possibility to add discrepancies to the packages that have not been scanned, by pressing the menu option Add deviation (1). (You can also add discrepancies for the parcels that have been scanned, see below.)
If you do not want to add anomalies, click on End (2). The scan page closes and your scans are saved.
If you click on the menu option Add deviation (1), you can choose for which packages the deviation should apply in the package list (3) by selecting (A) or deselecting (B) the different packages on the assignment. The packages that have not been scanned are highlighted (preselected) when the page is opened, but you can choose to deselect one or more of them.
Record the discrepancy. Select Type (anomaly type), and optionally Event, Reason, write a comment and add images. Some fields may be mandatory, depending on the settings applied by your dispatcher.
Note:Once Save has been tapped, it is no longer possible to change the deviation in the app.
If a picture is added, it will be displayed at the bottom of the detail view, under Attached files. For more information, see Adding images in Opter Driver for iOS.
Click on Save in the top right corner when you have finished registering the discrepancy. You will be returned to the scan list. Tap End. You will now have the possibility to add additional deviations to the parcels, by clicking on the menu item Add deviation (1). If you do not want to add any more derogations, click on End (2).
If you scanned the delivery, you must fill in the proof of delivery and tap Save before you can do anything else in the app.
