			{{Note}} If your system is configured to only supply loads just in time, then loads will not be available until a few minutes before the load is scheduled to start (normally 15 or 30 minutes).

	If all jobs on a workload are completed, when returned to the job ~~menu~~ a prompt will be displayed, asking whether a new load should be retrieved. If '''Yes''' is selected, the application will attempt to retrieve the next load available assigned. If it is retrieved successfully, the jobs will be displayed within the Job List. If this is unsuccessful, the user will be advised, and will be given the option to retry. If '''No''' is clicked at either stage, the application will shut down.		The system can be configured in several ways to control the end of load processing:
			* Normal
			* Timed
			* Manual
			* Both Timed and Manual.

			=== Normal ===
			If all jobs on a workload are completed, when returned to the job list a prompt will be displayed, asking whether a new load should be retrieved. If '''Yes''' is selected, the application will attempt to retrieve the next load available assigned. If it is retrieved successfully, the jobs will be displayed within the Job List. If this is unsuccessful, the user will be advised, and will be given the option to retry. If '''No''' is clicked at either stage, the application will shut down.

	</gallery>		</gallery>

			=== Timed ===
			When all jobs are completed, when returned to the job list, the screen will display a notification that this workload is not scheduled to be completed until the end time of the load. This gives the planners opportunity to add new jobs to your daily workload, which will automatically appear on the job list.
			At the point the load passes its end time, the load will be automatically closed, and the device will request a new load, identical to the Normal process above.

			=== Manual ===
			When all jobs are completed, when returned to the job list, the screen will display a notification that this workload is finished, along with a manual close button. The driver can then travel back to the depot, complete any manual tasks as the depot and then manually close the load with the button provided.
			The device will then request a new load, identical to the Normal process above.

			=== Both Timed and Manual ===
			When all jobs are completed, when returned to the job list, the screen will display a notification that this workload is not scheduled to be completed until the end time of the load. This gives the planners opportunity to add new jobs to your daily workload, which will automatically appear on the job list. This will also contain a manual close button.
			At the point the load passes its end time, the load will be automatically closed, and the device will request a new load, identical to the Normal process above. At any point, the driver can manually close the load with the button provided.

			If the workload on the device has had the vehicle changed since it was loaded onto the device, the application will inform the user of this, offering some options to resolve the situation:
			* Discard the load and request a new one.
			* Change the vehicle on the load to match the device's load.
			* Change vehicle on the device.

	~~If you have completed all jobs on a load, when you~~ are ~~returned to the job menu you will be prompted, asking if you would like to retrieve a new load. If you select '''Yes''', the PDA client will attempt to retrieve the next load available~~ assigned ~~to you. If it is retrieved successfully,~~ the ~~jobs will be displayed within~~ the ~~Job Menu.

Loads are assigned by the system by using the user and vehicle that was used when logging on to the mobile device application.

	~~<gallery widths=250px heights=300px perrow=3>~~		Loads cannot be picked by the user on the device - the system allocates workloads to a user based how they have been allocated on the system, in this sequence:
	~~File:EPOD_NewLoad2~~.~~PNG\|{{PDAType\|Android=Y}}~~		* If pending loads are found that match the user and vehicle exactly, the earliest of these loads is sent to the device.
	~~</gallery>~~		* If pending loads are found that are allocated to the user, with no explicit vehicle assigned to the load, the earliest of these loads is displayed on the device, and the load is assigned to the vehicle selected by the user when started.
			* If pending loads are found that are allocation to the vehicle, with no explicit user assigned to the load, the earliest of these loads is displayed on the device, and the load is assigned to the user when started.

			If no workload is found, the user will be advised, and will be given the option to retry. If '''No''' is clicked, the application will shut down.

	~~==Retrieving Existing Loads==~~
	In the scenario where the application is exited before completing a load (for example the battery runs out), the data of the load is still stored locally and not lost. This including any pending data that needs to be sent to the system from the PDA.

	~~When~~ the application ~~is next loaded it~~ will ~~ask you if they would like~~ retrieve ~~or discard~~ the ~~current~~ load. ~~Retrieving~~ the ~~current load~~ will ~~return~~ the ~~locally stored load back to you~~. If ~~you request to retrieve a new load~~, ~~this~~ will ~~return~~ the ~~first available load on~~ the ~~system to you~~.		== Completing Loads ==
			If all jobs on a workload are completed, when returned to the job menu a prompt will be displayed, asking whether a new load should be retrieved.
