For Trips the Zone system works differently in that the Zone Code is a Priority Order as opposed to a Zone Name. In the above example we can see that both the Southwest Zone Set and the Swindon Zone Set contain the Bristol BS Postcode area i.e. the zones overlap. In the Southwest Zone Set it has a Zone Code (Priority) of 1, in the Swindon Zone Set the Zone Code (Priority) is 2. This means that when auto-allocating a Job to the Bristol area it will first check to see if there is a Trip with room available going to the Southwest Zone Set, if not then it will check to see if there is a Trip going to the Swindon Zone Set. |
Auto-Allocate progression When you click on auto-allocate on the Trip Screen Journease will allocate a Job to a Trip in the following order (N.B. this is done in the background so you will not actually see the lists in real time):-
Remember at this stage the Trip is still In Planning, A status update and/or message can now be sent to the customer offering this time slot, ifthe customer declines the available slot then the Job will need to be re-allocated, if the time slot is accepted for each of the Jobs that have been allocated then the Trip Status can be changed to Finalised. |
Allocating Trips to Zone Sets is done using the entry form shown in fig 3, this will show on the right hand side of the Zone Set screen when Trip Routing Zone Set is ticked.
