Setting Up Scheduling in New Loads
Here's how to use the feature update while creating a new load:
Choosing the Schedule Type: In the 4th step of creating a new load, you'll come across the 'Schedule type' option. You can manually set it for each stop in 'Order Details' or let it auto-fill based on your 'Company Profile-Scheduling Info'.
FCFS (First Come First Serve) Stops: You'll need to specify the 'Begin' and 'End Window' times.
APPT Stops: Simply input the 'Appointment Date'.

Updating Existing Loads
Got an existing load that needs tweaking? No problem!
Change the Schedule Type: Easily update the schedule type for any stop. Just remember, if you don't fill in the required details, the original schedule type stays put.
Leaving Unchanged: If you navigate away without changes, a friendly reminder will pop up, asking if you're sure about keeping the current schedule.
