Understanding the symbols displayed in the Planning Worksheet

The Planning Worksheet uses a variety of symbols to give dispatchers a visual indicator of important information.

Late symbol

The Late column is labeled with the letter L. When the Late indicator is red, it indicates that a stop on a trip is late, or in danger of being late.

Priority symbol

The Priority column is labeled with the letter P. It indicates the order’s priority.

The order is assigned an OrderPriority code of 1- 4.
Note: By default, this symbol is displayed for the High Priority and the Medium Priority labels.

The order is assigned an OrderPriority code of 5-6.
Note: By default, no symbol is shown for the Low Priority or UNKNOWN labels.

The order is assigned an OrderPriority code of 7 or higher.

An order’s priority is recorded in the Priority field on the order header.
The options for the Priority field are set up in the Order Priority label.
