TDM Website - Manage Jobs

All jobs, including jobs saved as drafts, are accessible and managed through the TDM. Jobs are accessible via the LOAD JOB HISTORY tile on TDM’s home screen. From the panel, you have the option to load your Company’s last ten (10) jobs or the jobs from the past 30 days. In addition, they can search for jobs using a specific search term. The search term uses all or part of a job number, name, or description.

When one of the options is selected, the Job History screen will display.

The Client’s existing jobs (shipped, canceled, drafts, etc.) that meet the selected search/load criteria are listed in grid form, along with their status. Users can update the list of jobs displayed by using one of the criteria found in the ‘QUICK LOAD” section of the screen.

To view each job's details and available options, click the plus '+' at the beginning of the job's line item (see image above) to expand it.

An Actions panel contains the options available to the user.

Create a Shipment From A Draft

If a user wishes to create a shipment from a Draft, they need to select the Draft (expand the job’s line item) in the Job History screen and click Edit Job in the Action panel. The Edit Existing Job screen will display. Make any necessary edits and click VALIDATE AND SUBMIT JOB when finished.

Delivery Plan Options
