The Dispatch Configuration screen is where you can control how your system deals with dispatching work to your drivers. This is useful for ensuring the dispatching of jobs is fair and efficient, meaning fewer complaints from your drivers. A well-configured dispatch system promotes fairness among drivers by implementing rules and priorities that consider factors such as driver availability, waiting times, and booking priority.
To access this screen:
- Click on Dispatch Configuration from the Dispatch dropdown menu.
