ConnectedDock Admin

ConnectedDock is a mobile application installed on supported Android handheld devices. It is used to manage the processing of freight at your terminal.

The ConnectedDock Admin application is used to configure settings such as how to handle auto-docking, handling of loaded items, commodity lists, imaging, barcode, seals and weigh scale settings, and so on.

Terminal screen design for ConnectedDock

You can choose which information appears on the Terminal screen in ConnectedDock. You can set up to four different fields.

The Terminal Customization page.

The upper two options have a larger font size on the device than the lower two options. For visual clarity, Trimble Transportation recommends fields that have more information go on the lower options (for example, Door).

Set up terminal screen options

Start from ConnectedDock Admin.
Go to Screen Fields > Terminal. The Terminal Customization page opens.
Select one of the four fields. A list of options opens.
Select an option. The options list closes.
Repeat Steps 3-4 for each field.

Field options

Here is a breakdown of each field you can show on the device.

Field name	Related TruckMate field	Details
status	TRIP.STATUS	Shows the status of the trip that is parked at the door. This field updates as the trip’s status changes.
resourceID	Trailer, power unit (straight truck only), or container	Shows the primary loadable resource on the trip. If multiple resource are assigned to the same trip, it takes the first assigned resource according to the trip’s linkage.
tripRoute	TRIP.ORIGIN_ZONE > TRIP.DESTINATION_ZONE	Shows the trip’s start zone and end zone. It does not show any intermediate stops. These values determine which bills can be matched to the trip.
totalItemCount	Calculated field of items assigned to the trip	Shows the total number of items assigned to the trip. This allows dockworkers to determine how many more items could be loaded on to the trip. It does not show the number of items to load or unload at a particular location.
itemCountProcessed	Calculated field of items loaded or unloaded	Shows the total number of items that have been loaded onto or unloaded from the trip.
percCountProcessed	Calculated field of items loaded or unloaded	Shows the percentage of items that have been loaded onto or unloaded from the trip. This calculates the total items to load or unload versus the items that have already been loaded or unloaded. For example, if there are 10 total items to load, and 6 items have been loaded, then this field would show 60%.
departureDate	LEGSUM.LS_PLANNED_DEPARTURE	Shows the planned departure date for the trip from its current terminal. The departure date is based on the trip’s current leg when the trip is at a door.
user1-10	TRIP.LS_USER_1-10	You can have up to 10 user fields. These are pulled from the TRIP table. Each user field shows whatever data is in the user field for the trip that is currently parked at the door being viewed.
Trip Calc1-10	CUSTOM_DOCK_TRIP_CALC_FIELDS.CALC1-10	CUSTOM_DOCK_TRIP_CALC_FIELDS is a custom procedure. You can enter any information you want into this procedure to have the results of that query appear in ConnectedDock.
