Predefined Instructions

Within the scheduling module of TransMaS, you are able to send drivers instructions during the course of their work day.

This could be something like a trailer swap, or instructing a driver to take the vehicle for maintenance.

In some cases, you may have the same instructions you wish to send to a driver (or multiple), this is now possible in TransMaS using predefined Instructions.

To use Predefined Instructions, navigate to Settings in the main menu, and then select predefined instructions in the Scheduling section.

1. Select Settings in the main menu on the left
