Overview

This module explains how to optimize your Dispatch Main Report layout in OpsDriver so you can view more data on a single screen without excessive scrolling. These tools improve visibility, especially for users on smaller monitors or working with dense trip information.

1. Use Case

When you have a day with many dispatches—especially ones with:

• Long customer names

• Extended pickup/drop-off addresses

• Notes or add-ons—your screen can quickly get crowded

These dispatch blocks take up more vertical space, limiting how many you can see at once.

2. Expanding the Display Area

Steps:

1. Look for the expand icon in the upper-right corner of the Dispatch Main Report screen.

2. Click this button.

Result:

• This collapses some of the system chrome and expands the dispatch workspace

• It creates more visual room to display additional dispatch blocks without needing to scroll

3. Adjusting Zoom Level in Your Browser

Another method is to use your browser zoom setting.

Steps (in Chrome):

• Press Ctrl + - (Windows) or Cmd + - (Mac) to zoom out

• Press Ctrl + + or Cmd + + to zoom in

• Use Ctrl + 0 or Cmd + 0 to reset

Zooming out will reduce font and element size slightly, allowing more dispatches to fit on screen.

4. Combining Both Tools

For maximum screen efficiency:

• Zoom out slightly in your browser

• Then use the expand button in the top corner of the Dispatch screen

Together, these two steps will help you see more data, especially helpful on:

• Days with a lot of trip volume

• Laptops or smaller external monitors

Best Practices

• Train dispatchers on how to expand/collapse views for better visibility

• Encourage use of zoom adjustments when toggling between dispatch and customer data

• For users on large monitors, consider defaulting to expanded view for maximum efficiency
