Working on Assignments
Accepting an Assignment

- Get directions to the location of the assignment by selecting the Navigate button in the app (the blue arrow icon in the top right corner). This will open Google Maps to provide directions.
- Once the system begins tracking a driver’s assignment per the Driver’s GPS location, the system will change the status of the Active Assignment to ‘Started’ in the status bar and begin displaying breadcrumbs that indicate the route being worked on, as shown below.
