What this guide covers

Give dispatchers the information needed to select a suitable asset. The instructions below follow the supplied module’s controller, form and model rules, including server-side validation and downstream effects.

Exact step-by-step process

  1. Choose/describe the required vehicle and load type.
  2. Enter weight and any handling notes.
  3. Save.
  4. Compare requirements with vehicle payload/capacity before assignment.

Fields, choices and supported possibilities

This action uses the values already stored on the selected source record. Review that record before continuing.

Code-backed validations and workflow rules

  • The module stores these operational values; the dispatcher must still verify safe/legal suitability.

Expected result and verification

  • The source record, status/history and any downstream notification, provider, POD or finance record should agree after the action.

Security, audit and operational checks

  • Use the exact record and least-privilege role before changing any state.
  • Verify the saved record after every action; a browser message alone is not evidence that every downstream step completed.
  • Use protected document and image routes rather than exposing server filesystem paths.
  • Keep customer, driver, provider, financial and credential data within the authorised workflow.
  • For provider, finance, employment, transport and compliance decisions, follow the organisation’s authorised professional process.
Do not bypass the code flowDo not force database values, invent a status, mark a job completed without signed POD evidence, or expose encrypted credentials to make a screen appear successful.
