Dock planning from Whiteboard

This article will instruct on how to use the whiteboard page.

Navigate to Yard → Whiteboard

  • If there are multiple sets of docks, use the dropdown near the top left to select required doors.

  • Each block on the whiteboard represents a door, as indicated below:
    • Empty doors are white.
    • Occupied doors are green. The shade of green indicates how long the asset has been at the door.
    • Yellow shows a trailer is scheduled for that door.
    • Red means the door is closed and can’t be used

  • Schedule a move into a dock:
    • Click on an empty door and select Schedule Move to Location.

    • Select the criteria of the desired trailer. This can be generic such as an empty from a given carrier, or it can be very specific by selecting a trailer #.
    • Select a priority for the move (1-high; 2-medium; 3-low) and optionally enter a note.
    • Click Schedule to create a move task for spotters.
Schedule a move out of a dock:
  • Click on the required occupied door and select Schedule Move.
Select the location the asset is to be moved to and complete any other optional field. 
  • Optionally schedule a return trailer:
    • Select the Schedule Return checkbox
    • Select the criteria of the desired trailer. This can be generic such as an empty from a given carrier, or it can be very specific by selecting a trailer #.
    • Click Schedule to create move task(s) for spotters.
    • Select the location the asset is to be moved to and complete any other optional field.

  • Cancel a scheduled move:
    • From the Actions menu select Cancel Scheduled Move.
      • Action > Schedule move
    • Currently scheduled moves are listed. Click the move to be cancelled.
    • Confirm by clicking the red Un-Schedule button at the bottom of the page.
