Map and Table Views

Map and table views illustration

The dispatcher console has two main working views: Map View and Table View. Both show dispatcher order queues, but they are built for different types of decisions.

Use Map View when location, driver proximity, zones, and live movement matter. Use Table View when you need to compare many records, sort columns, select rows, or run actions quickly.

Map View

Dispatcher map view

Map View combines the order panel, map markers, driver visibility, and top controls in one screen.

The top controls include:

ControlWhat it does
Switch to Table ViewOpens the same order queue in table format.
Add OrderStarts a new order for the selected order type.
DriversOpens the driver monitoring panel.
Filter ZonesLimits map visibility to a selected zone.
Filter Business CustomersFilters visible delivery work for a selected business customer.
NotificationsOpens operational notifications and unread alerts.

The left panel lists orders for the selected order type. Selecting an order focuses the panel and can show its pickup and delivery points on the map.

Map order panel

Map markers represent pickup points, delivery points, driver locations, and selected order points. Marker colors and icons help distinguish the current order, pickup/dropoff type, warehouse points, and grouped markers.

tip

Use Map View when assigning a driver manually. It gives better context for pickup zone, dropoff zone, driver location, and nearby operational load.

Map Filters

The map order filter drawer helps reduce the active queue before dispatching.

Map filters

Filter options include:

FilterUse it when
Delivery StatusYou need only pending, assigned, picked up, in transit, delivered, cancelled, or returned orders.
Assignment StatusYou need to separate unassigned work from driver-owned work.
Carrier TypeYou need only internal, prime, external, or hybrid delivery work.
Date RangeYou need orders created or scheduled in a specific time period.

Use Clear All to reset the drawer. Use Apply Date Range after choosing dates.

Table View

Dispatcher table view

Table View is best for high-volume order management. It shows many delivery records at once and supports search, sorting, pagination, column control, row menus, and row selection.

The table header includes:

ButtonWhat it does
Bulk AssignAssigns selected eligible orders to one driver.
Route AssignmentAssigns selected eligible orders to a delivery route.
Bulk ActionsOpens batch actions for selected rows.
Create OrderOpens the order form for the current order type.
Switch to Map ViewReturns to Map View.
NotificationsOpens the notification panel.

Bulk buttons remain disabled until selected rows meet the action conditions. For example, bulk driver assignment requires eligible pending internal orders with no active driver assignment.

Column Controls

Table column controls

The column control panel lets dispatchers show, hide, reorder, and resize table columns. It also includes density controls for users who prefer compact rows or larger data text.

Common columns include:

ColumnMeaning
CodeDelivery code used for quick lookup.
CustomerCustomer attached to the order.
DriverAssigned driver, or not assigned.
BarcodeBarcode/reference used on labels.
StatusDelivery lifecycle state.
AssignmentDriver assignment state.
CarrierInternal, prime, external, or hybrid carrier type.
Pickup Zone / Dropoff ZoneZones for origin and destination.
Pickup WarehouseWarehouse used as the origin or staging point.
VehicleDriver vehicle assigned to the work.
Payment / Payer / Pay Method / CODPayment state and collection responsibility.
note

Hidden columns may still be available in the column control panel. If a dispatcher cannot see an expected field, check the column panel before assuming the data is missing.
