Left click over a driver row in the right hand Driver list, as shown above. If the “Assignment Drag Label” appears, you have successfully grabbed a driver row. If this label doesn't appear, try clicking and dragging again.
Drag the mouse pointer, with Assignment Drag Label attached, over a job row in the Dispatch tab. If the mouse is over a job, the drag label will display a green check mark, as in the second figure above, and a job row will be highlighted light gray.
If the mouse is not over a job, the drag label will then display a red “not allowed” indicator. If this is the case, simply keep dragging until the label changes to the green check mark.
Release the mouse button to assign the driver to the highlighted job.
If Ranger has successfully received the request to assign, a pink “T” will appear under the S(Status) column.
If Ranger successfully delivers the assignment to the driver device, a green “A” will appear.
If, after 2 minutes, the assignment has not been delivered to the driver device, Ranger will stop attempting to deliver the message, and a red “F” will appear in the Status column. This is your indication that you should either reattempt the assignment, or possible contact the driver manually. If this situation continues for the driver, it might be necessary to have the driver logout and login again.
