Configure Parking Spot Rules for Task Management
Configure parking spot rules to get parking recommendations when a yard move or pull task is assigned. Parking spot rules can also be used when arriving a shipment in the Gate Console. For more information on that workflow, see Configure Parking Spot Rules for Arriving Shipments.
Parking spot recommendations are based on asset properties including status (empty or loaded), condition, carrier, and trailer type.
To create a parking spot rule specific to gate operations,
-
Open Task > Configuration > Parking Rules.
-
Parking spot rules are specific to each site. Select the site in the drop-down menu to configure parking spot rules for the correct site.
-
Click Add Rule.
-
Create the rule.
-
Rule Type refers to the action the parking rule applies to: yard move (a move within the yard), gate (arrival at the gate), pull (pull task).
-
Sequence defines the priority level for rules that may overlap.
-
In the Trailer Information section, add the conditions required to trigger the parking rule.
-
Add the locations (parking zone, parking spot, dock door, dock group) the shipment should be moved to.
-
If making a rule for a yard move, you must specify how moves will be ordered: by dwell time or priority.
-
-
Click SAVE.
-
The parking spot rule is added to the rule list where it can be turned off/on, edited, or deleted.
