Solution
The screen size will be increased to maximise the viewing window. Also the screen will be changed to match the general appearance (Fonts, colours etc) of the other screens in MTS.
New fields will be added to the screen for selection. These will be for the date range. The current field for Schedule will remain so the user has the ability to pick either a schedule or a date range. The new fields will be alongside the current selection criteria at the top of the screen.
The ‘Amend Trip’ button will be removed from all blocks and all right click options on all Tabs.
The ‘Delete Trip’ button will be removed from the Planned and Accepted blocks, and also from the right click options.
The ‘New Trip’ button will be removed from the screen and also the right click options.
A new ‘configure layouts’ pop up window will be added. This will be accessible from the right click options. This window will allow the user to customise which fields are seen and also alter the size of the fields. The options on the window will be 'Start Time', trip Id. Trip Stops, 1st Drop(Stop 2 Late Del Time), Driver, Tractor, Trailer ID, carrier, EFX Number, Trailer Type, Last trailer, POD (Tick Box).
The labels for the "View Debrief" and "Debrief Driver" buttons on the En-Route, Completed and Confirmed, and Debriefed blocks will be changed to ‘Debrief’. The functionality of these buttons will also change to call the Trip Debrief form (TRIPDTL). When the Trip debrief screen is called the current trip information will be passed as parameters and the relevant information displayed in the debrief screen.
The functionality of the ‘Search’ button will be changed to match the functionality of the ‘Find’ button on Trip Manipulation. New fields will be added to the drop down, these fields will be 'Trailer ID', Driver and 'Tractor ID'. The fields will not be case sensitive, and will allow a wildcard search using the ‘%’ symbol. The current find popup will be retained but will be altered to allow the same search options available in the trip manipulation screen.
The ‘Allocate resources’ on any tab or block will be linked to the TRIP_RES screen. When this screen is called the parameters for the current trip and schedule will be passed into the screen.
The access control for this screen will be changed to be in line with the other screens in MTS. In particular the Depot drop-down will be a list of RDC and Cross-dock locations. This will allow the user visibility to be controlled by the MTS User Access control. Also the visibility of trips will be restricted based on the Group name. Finally the access control for edit and visibility will be changed to match the current control in the Trip Manipulation / planning screens.
Functional Description
The overall size of the screen will be increased to allow the extra fields to be added and also to maximise the space available to display the trips.
A number of fields will be added to the screen, and the general look will be changed to match the other screens in MTS. Firstly a date range will be added as selection criteria. This will be separate from the current schedule parameter and will allow the user to search on Schedule or date range. These new fields will be added alongside the current search criteria.
New Fields to be added.
