Maintaining accurate asset availability is essential for smooth operations. You can view current availability by:
- Clicking the furthest icon to the left in the top-right corner of your screen.
- Navigating to the Assets page and clicking Availability in the top-right corner.
Follow these best practices to ensure your availability data remains accurate.
Understanding Automatic Adjustments
Asset availability automatically updates based on scheduled tasks.
Example:
- You have 3 assets currently in your yard.
- 2 drop-offs are scheduled but not yet completed today.
- Your availability for the day will reflect 1 asset available (3 - 2 = 1).
Adding or Removing Assets
When updating asset availability, keep these points in mind:
✔ Manual Updates Are Required
- Adding a new asset does not automatically increase the count.
- Deleting an asset does not reduce the count.
- Always update availability manually to maintain accurate records.
- To update, click Update Availability and enter the total number of each asset size currently available in your yard.
✔ Updates Affect All Asset Counts
- Any update applies to all assets, so ensure your counts are accurate before making changes.
✔ Double-Check Your Inputs
- Miscounts can lead to scheduling errors or operational delays.
Understanding Availability vs. Yard Counts
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Availability | Automatically adjusted by scheduled tasks, reflecting assets in your yard plus/minus assets going in or out. |
| Yard Counts | Manually recorded by drivers during task completion when picking up or dropping off assets. Yard drops may differ from availability due to pending or unscheduled tasks. |
Example Calculation for Availability:
If you have:
- 2 assets in the yard
- 2 scheduled pickups today
- 1 scheduled drop-off today
Your availability would be: (2 + 2 - 1) = 3 Available Assets
Fixing Yard Count Discrepancies
If your yard counts in Docket do not match what you physically have:
- Drivers may have forgotten to record a yard drop on a pickup task.
- To check:
- Go to Assets > Assets Tab.
- Sort by Availability.
- Assets dropped in the yard should display a house icon 🏠 beside them.
- If an asset does not show the house icon:
- Click the asset.
- Go to the Current tab.
- Select Yard Drop and choose the correct location.
Summary Tips
✔ Understand how scheduled tasks adjust availability automatically.
✔ Manually update asset counts for any additions or removals.
✔ Double-check your counts before updating to avoid errors.
Following these steps ensures precise asset tracking and prevents operational disruptions.
