Agvance SKY Dispatch features a navigation layout that streamlines access to personal settings and company configuration. The left navigation panel provides quick access to key areas, including My Filters, My Assets, Company Settings, Messaging, and Company Assets.
Messaging
The Messaging menu option provides a method of communication between the Dispatcher and Applicators or Delivery Drivers.
Easily compose a new message by selecting Compose New Message, typing a message, and selecting Send.
Sending Attachments
Attachments can also be added to help communication. Choose the Paperclip icon and then select the file location.
Once the file is attached, the following confirmation displays before selecting Send.
Note: The added file will be downloaded as an attachment.
My Filters
My Filters is located under the Customization section of the left navigation panel. Custom Filters and Quick Filters can be created and managed from this area.
Custom Filters
Custom Filters allow jobs to be filtered by specific categories such as Crop, Crop Chemistry, Type of Work, and Ship Via. Create only the filters needed.
Select the + New Filter button under each category to add filter values. Active filters display as tags that can be removed by selecting the X on the tag.
Quick Filters
Quick Filters save a combination of filter criteria that can be applied with a single selection. Quick Filters are accessible from the bottom toolbar on the Jobs screen.
Select + New Quick Filter to create a new Quick Filter. Each Quick Filter displays a Filter Name and the Filter Criteria it includes. Existing Quick Filters can be edited or deleted using the Edit and Delete icons on the right side of the filter entry.
My Assets
My Assets is located on the left navigation panel. Choose which Applicators, Delivery Drivers, Tender Drivers, Integrated Devices, Vehicles, and Locations are visible in Dispatch. Each tab displays a list of available items with a toggle to control visibility. Turn the toggle on to display an item or off to hide it. The All toggle turns all items on or off at once.
Use the Filters button or search bar to locate specific items within each tab. The Locations tab determines which Locations' jobs are visible throughout Dispatch.
Company Settings
Company Settings is located under the Management section of the left navigation panel. Configuration options are organized into a General tab and a Custom Tags tab.
General
The General tab under Company Settings is where Types of Work, Priority labels, and Map colors are customized for Agvance SKY Dispatch.
Note: Only one Classification can be selected at a time. Type of Work Classifications are Inventory Departments included in a Classification such as Dispatch Type of Work. These Classifications are created in Agvance Windows before they are available to select here.
Type of Work Classification allows a Classification to be selected from the drop-down.
Add, edit, or change the color for Priority labels. Selecting the Edit icon displays the Edit window. The Priority label must be 6 to 30 characters long. Select the Priority color from a predefined list.
Map colors control how different features display on the map, including Selected Jobs, Assigned Jobs, Unassigned Jobs, Crop Chemistry, Driftwatch, Non-Field Features, and Selected Applicator. Select the Edit icon to change a color.
Custom Tags
Custom Tags can be used to identify custom groups on Blend and Delivery Tickets. Tags added in Agvance SKY will not appear in Agvance Windows.
Select + Add Blend Tag or + Add Delivery Tag to create a new tag. Existing tags display as removable tags with an X to delete.
Company Assets
Company Assets is located under the Management section of the left navigation panel. Add, edit, manage permissions, and deactivate Applicators, Delivery Drivers, Tender Drivers, Integrations, and Vehicles from this area. Each setup grid operates much like an Excel spreadsheet.
Applicator
On the Applicators tab, add, edit, update permissions, and deactivate Applicators. Use the Applicator Alias search bar to locate a specific Applicator.
Select Manage Conditions to choose which conditions are available in the Agvance Ops app. The Conditions page opens with two tabs:
- Profiles: Create a new Conditions Profile by entering a Profile Name, or select Manage Profiles to work with existing Profiles. Profiles apply to Applicators with that Conditions Profile assigned.
- Default: Choose the Capture Weather Data Location and set each condition to Off, Optional, or Required for all Applicators without a Profile assigned.
New Applicators are added by selecting the + Add Applicator icon in the lower right-hand corner of the window. Editable columns in the grid include Applicator Alias, Vehicle, Map Icon, Update Inventory, Require Conditions, and Edit Ticket. A checkmark indicates the feature is enabled, and an X indicates it is not.
For more on how Applicators function, see Applicators - Agvance SKY Dispatch.
Delivery Drivers
On the Delivery Drivers tab, add, edit, update permissions, and deactivate Delivery Drivers. Permissions such as Update Inventory, Edit Ticket, and Add Product control what Delivery Drivers can do in the Agvance Ops app.
Tender Drivers
On the Tender Drivers tab, add, edit, and deactivate Tender Drivers and assign Vehicles to them.
Note: A Vehicle can only be assigned to one Tender Driver at a time.
Integrations
On the Integrations tab, set up and manage connections with third party providers such as Samsara, Razor Tracking, Satloc Aerial, MyJohnDeere, and Slingshot. Integrations can be linked to Vehicles for tracking and job file transfer.
Vehicles
On the Vehicles tab, add, edit, and deactivate Vehicles, including Vehicle Compartments and their capacities.
