Transports connects a route, driver, pets, schedule, mileage, costs, and internal instructions.
Open Transports
Open More > Transports. Transport access requires the Transport Coordinator permission.
Use Drivers in the Transports page header to open the driver roster. Drivers are part of the transport suite rather than a separate main-navigation item.
Transport Workbench
The list provides:
- Search by service, route, or driver.
- Journey-state filters: Scheduled, In transit, and Completed.
- Transport Method filters: Ground Transport and Air Transport.
- Sorting by service, miles, cost, or recent update.
- Pagination and configurable visible columns.
Rows show service and route, journey state, driver, pets, departure and arrival dates, and updated information. Select a row to open its profile.
Journey State
PawPlacer derives state from the actual dates:
- Scheduled: no actual departure or arrival.
- In transit: actual departure is recorded, but actual arrival is not.
- Completed: actual arrival is recorded, even if no actual departure was entered.
A completed transport is no longer listed as due on the Dashboard or Calendar and leaves the Operations – Active Transports report.
Profiles
The transport profile presents the journey from scheduling through departure, arrival, and cost settlement. It also includes route and driver facts, transported pets, cost totals, notes, and activity.
Driver profiles contain contact and service areas, weekly capacity, trip and mileage statistics, availability notes, and assigned transports.
