Summary

Depending on used display the useable settings may differ. The settings can be changed via the following tabs:

TabDescription
order state settingAllow to define own state texts for an order. Optional a state text can be defined with an action. For Garmin displays this setting is not available.
orders / formsSome types of display allow to create a new order directly at the display. This menu allows to enable or disable the function and a custom form can be assigned to each order, created this way.
order text layoutFor Garmin displays the order and volume of elements can be changed. Changing this is similar to tab bar configuration. Additionally a preview will show an example result.

Order state settings

Common 

general

Order states allow the driver to set the current status of the order. You are able to define 6 states at max. These states can be informative only or have influence on the order itself. The following changes can be done by a stateThe order state texts definied here, can be set at the display. Up to 6 state messages can be defined. An additional action can also be appended to a state text. This options are:

ActionDescription

The order of states in portal is the same which will be used on display. To edit it, click on the arrows in overview page.


Create / Edit

On create a new order state or edit an existing one, the according menu first shows the list of currently defined states.

Below this list is a text input, define the state text with up to 20 chars. Optional an action can be appended, using the select box below.

Broadcasting

To add a new order state, click on create new order state. If you have already defined 6 order states, this input is not available. To edit an existing order state, click on the  symbol in overview page.

An order state is defined by a status text and optional actions and idents. The status text can be 20 chars long at max. Furthermore you are able to set a translation for each order state. If the driver is using the display in another language and the corresponding translation is defined, the driver will see this translation. If there is no translation provided, the german text will be displayed by default.

If a state was pressed on display, this can influence the order itself. You can set if firing a state should set the order to active or delete it.

The ident is a technical identification attribute. It can be displayed while accessing order management via interfaces like RTI or the TourWS to clearly recognize a state.


Assignment

You need to explicitly send the set order states to the corresponding displays. This is also needed for synchronizing changes in already available states! The input mask allows the selection of single displays, groups or all. Only displays which are compatible to user-defined order states and to which the portal user owns the corresponding vehicle rights will be shown.


tour states

general

Tour states are very similar to order states. Currently tours can only be accessed via TourWS. By using this it is also possible to access tours by various interfaces and import tour data to external programs. It might be necessary to adjust the status configuration to the desired interface. YellowFox offers a variety of predefined tour status configurations, which you can edit and send to your vehicles.


edit configuration

Please choose the desired software from dropdown menu first. Please notice that you can only save one distinct configuration. If you have chosen a configuration before, did now select another and finish the process by clicking on save, all adjustments for the previous configuration will be discarded.

If you have chosen a software, all by interface predefined status messages will be displayed underneath. You are able to deactivate single messages for your drivers. You are not able to add own status.

A tour state is defined by an internal id. The shown text can be individually adjusted. Furthermore you are able to set a translation for each tour state. If the driver is using the display in another language and the corresponding translation is defined, the driver will see this translation. If there is no translation provided, the german text will be displayed by default.

Beside the internal id defined by interface, you can additionally set an ident as an user-defined identification attribute. This can be displayed while accessing tours via TourWS optionally.


assignment

You need to explicitly send the set tour states to the corresponding displays. This is also needed for synchronizing changes in already available states! The input mask allows the selection of single displays, groups or all. Only displays which are compatible to tour states and to which the portal user owns the corresponding vehicle rights will be shownAfter the state messages defined at the portal, they have to be transmitted to the according displays. At the according mask, single objects, group or all objects in list. Only objects, supporting the user defined message states listed here and the current user must have edit rights.

Orders / forms

Common

For supported displays you can (de)activate the function to create orders directly at the display here. Furthermore a default custom form can be set, which will be appended to each order, created on the display. Therefore the custom form must be available at the display!

Assignment

The first limitation of general visible objects is done by their support of order creation. If a form to append selected, only the checkboxes for displays, supporting this form, stay clickable. For other objects the checkbox will be disabled.

Order text layout

Common

This setting is only available if only garmin displays with proprietary FMI interface used. So the structure of the visible order text can be adjustet to use the available text length as best as possible. Therefore the text elements can be moved from and to the order text elements area and sorted in the desired direction there. To get a feeling for the resulting messages, right below is an example text area.

Elements

The following elements are available:

NameDescription
dateIf an arrival time was planned, showing the date part.
time

If an arrival time was planned, showing the time part. If date and time are assigned in this order, they will be connected to a datetime element

order textthe order text itself. This text must be part of the submitted order text.
order numberThe self defined order number per order
sort numberOptional a sort number can be added to an order to help the driver, executing the orders in the correct way.
contact informationsIf a created order was assigned to a customer from address book and for this customer at least one contact person was assigned, this according contact informations (name, phone number) will be added to the text.
navigation targetThe navigation target always will be submitted internally but this way the driver can not see this target. So this will enable the option, that the driver can see the navigation target address as shown on order creation.


Info
Keep in mind, that the Garmin display supports only 200 chars overall. This means, depending on active elements the useable order text length may differ significantly!
