Checked against Pop Dispatch 0.1.0

The Trips screen lists your trips, newest first. You can start a trip for an asset and end a running trip, and you can narrow the list to one asset.

Before you start #

  • Open Fleet, then Trips. The screen opens for the owner, manager, dispatcher and advisor roles.
  • The forms for starting and ending a trip appear when your license includes the Fleet module and allows changes. Without them you can still read the list.
  • Add your assets first. The start form lists your active assets.

Steps #

  1. Read the table. Its columns are Started, Asset, Purpose, Route, Status and Distance from positions. Status reads Running or Ended. A distance taken from positions carries the word "estimate".
  2. To look at one asset, pick it in Show one asset. The list reloads for that asset.
  3. To start a trip, fill in Start a trip: choose the Asset (required). Add Person number, Purpose, From, To and the Odometer when you know them. Select Start a trip. The trip appears in the list as Running.
  4. To end a trip, open End a trip, choose the trip under Running trip, add the closing Odometer if you have it, and select End a trip. The row changes to Ended.
  5. Select an asset number in the Asset column to open that asset.
Technical details
  • The list reads GET /fleet/trips with the asset filter and a limit of 50. Starting posts to /fleet/trips and ending posts to /fleet/trips/:id/end.
  • Empty fields are left out of the request.
  • The End a trip menu lists the running trips found in the loaded list.

If something goes wrong #

  • "No trips." means no trip matches the filter. Choose another asset or start one.
  • "This license has no Fleet module, so changes are turned off." and "The license is read-only, so changes are paused." mean the forms stay hidden or are refused. See fleet-without-the-license.
  • "Your role may not do this." means your role cannot make the change.
  • An asset that already has a running trip cannot start another. End the running trip first.
