Open the dispatching mobile app and tap the Settings button on the top right corner of the app.
You will see a Device ID and PIN, and a Driver ID and PIN at the top of the setting screen.
This is how your devices are assigned: the Device corresponds to the Truck and the Driver corresponds to the Driver.
Ignore the Customer ID and PIN -- those should remain the same for your entire system. If you do not have a Customer ID and PIN set, please contact support for setup assistance.
You need to first set up the Truck's Device ID and Pin before you can use mobile dispatching.
On the Web Portal, go to the settings gear icon at the top right.
Click Devices.
NOTE: You need an admin login to access this.
Go to the Truck tab on the Device Table.
Add a new truck device ID/PIN by clicking + New Truck Device.
The number of Truck Devices you can set up will be limited to the number of licenses you have on your subscription. If you would like to add a new license, please contact us.
Fill in the Device ID: This is custom, but we recommend using a system like the Truck ID.
Fill in the Device Pin: This is custom, but we recommend using a system like the Truck number.
Set the appropriate Region, Hauler, and Truck ID from the dropdown menus.
Click Update.
You will need to establish Driver IDs and PINs for your drivers before you can assign them to a device.
Go to the Web Portal and login.
Go to Dispatching > Drivers
Check to be sure the driver profile you want isn't already there. If you need to make one, click + New Driver.
Choose the Hauler.
Fill in the Driver ID: This is custom, but we recommend using a system like the Driver's last name.
Fill in the Driver PIN: This is custom, but we recommend using a system like the Driver's Truck Number or the last 4 of their phone number.
Click Update.
Once you have set up Device ID/Pin and Driver ID/Pin for all of your drivers, you can input these into the app settings to assign your devices to your Trucks and Drivers.
