Task Management

Use the Task Management functionality to configure a set of rules that specify what inspection or move tasks a driver or spotter receives in the YMS Yard Jockey Mobile application and the sequence that tasks are presented to them. After the task management rules are created, an administrator can assign a task management role to each driver or spotter. The rules are evaluated in the order of priority and valid tasks are identified through these task criteria fields:
  • Task type: Types are Move or Inspection.
  • Zone: Location zone to look for commands.
  • Interleave Sequence: Provides functionality to interleave types of tasks. If your last task was an Inspection, then you can set interleave sequences such that the next task is a Move, and then back to Inspection.
  • Exclusive: Only enabled when a zone is specified. When selected, only the tasks shown to the mobile user's application are locked to that user so that no other user can access or complete those tasks while the user remains on that task role rule.

The Task Management option is located under the Configuration menu at the facility level.
