Selecting this option will maintain the program window position and size upon close. When the program is re-opened, it will appear the same.

Reload Configuration Options

This option is only available when you are working with a Multi-Company database. Selecting this option will re-apply the Application Configurator program options to the application you are currently working in.

Only those config options that relate to application logic will be updated on the fly. Configuration options related to default selections (such as flags being checked/un-checked) will not update, as these configs are only checked when the application is loaded.

Selecting these options will open their (respective) external application (if available). TruckMate has it’s own component that accesses the IDSC data, however, that can be accessed from the Driver Call In program’s Trips Assigned Grid (via right-click Context Menu).

Header Information

Unit ID

You can display records in the Driver Call In program by selecting a Power Unit ID in this field or a Driver ID in the Driver ID field below. If you look up a Driver by entering a Power Unit ID, the Driver that is currently assigned to any active legs as the Power Unit will be displayed. If the Power Unit is not assigned to any active legs, the Driver that is displayed in the 'Last Driver 1' field in the Dispatch program > Power Unit Tab will be displayed. You must click the image17button to the right of the Driver ID field to display the record. Click the search button for a search form.

You can navigate between Power Units using the <Alt><Left arrow> and <Alt><Right arrow> hot key combination.

Driver ID

Use this field to select a Driver. Click on the search button to the right of the field to select a Driver code. After you have selected the code, click the image17button to retrieve the selected Driver’s record, which will be displayed in the Grid to the right. Driver codes are configured in the Driver Profiles program. Drivers will not be available for selection unless the 'Show In Dispatch' box on the Detail Tab of the Driver Profile program is checked.

You can navigate between Drivers using the <Alt><Left arrow> and <Alt><Right arrow> hot key combination.

Context Menu

While in the Header section, you can right-click either the 'Unit ID' or 'Driver ID' field to access some Resource Filters, which are pulled from the Dispatch program’s Filter Setup page (the 'Driver' and 'Power Unit' Tabs, specifically). For more information on creating Dispatch Filters, see the Dispatch User Manual > Filter Setup section.

Header Grid

The fields that appear in this Grid are dependant on which Resource you populate information from the Header fields ('Unit ID' or 'Driver ID'). There are specific fields that will appear in the Grid depending on which Resource you are working with:

Driver Grid

PTA Overridden

This field, when set to 'True', will ensure that when a Projected Time of Arrival (PTA) date/time is received via Mobile Communications, that the update of the PTA does not trigger an insert statement to the LOCHIST table.
