NOTE: Once a driver has been assigned a move or moves, the D.O. will automatically display the best possible “match” for the last assigned move. In the example below, the driver is dispatched to go to BUNO52, so on the move side, order pros out of BUNO52 are displayed first.

La selección predeterminada es "Actualizar Ambos" campos de fecha. Selecciona una fecha en el calendario emergente y la tarjeta de movimiento se actualizará con la fecha seleccionada.

Usando el ejemplo de movimiento anterior, un contenedor cargado del BNSF, si el usuario necesitaba agregar un movimiento de chasis antes de este:
"Z-Chassis" se seleccionaría del desplegable "Status". A continuación, el Perfil de Ubicación "Origin" tendría que cambiar para reflejar el origen del chasis. Haz clic izquierdo en el campo y usa la caja "Location Search" para ingresar el Perfil de Ubicación de origen. A continuación, escribe el número de chasis en el campo "Chassis #". Luego, haz clic izquierdo en la casilla "Add prior to selected move". Por último, haz clic izquierdo en el botón "Add Move". (Ver ejemplo abajo)
El movimiento se agrega entonces al despacho del conductor seleccionado. (Como se muestra abajo)
NOTA: Si la casilla "Agregar antes del movimiento seleccionado" no está marcada, el movimiento agregado se colocará DESPUÉS del movimiento seleccionado.
Para Eliminar un movimiento de una Orden Pro en el D.O., haz clic izquierdo en el signo "-" en la parte inferior izquierda de la tarjeta de movimiento a eliminar. (Como se muestra abajo)
NOTA: No uses "Eliminar Movimiento" para desasignar un movimiento de un conductor. Esta acción ELIMINA el movimiento completamente de la Orden Pro.

NOTE: Prior to dispatch, a blue check mark will appear to the left of the “Div-Pro” for each move. Uncheck the box if you do not wish to transmit or dispatch that move to the driver. (See below example) To dispatch the move(s) to the driver, check the box and left click on the “Dispatch Moves” button.
