After entering the ticket number in this area, this function searches the Ticket # column in the grid and finds the first row with the specified value in that column.

This area displays the summed acres for the jobs selected in the grid.

Total Acres

This area displays the summed acres for all jobs in the grid.

This function looks at the jobs in the grid and calculates by Type of Work or Vehicle how many acres are scheduled to be completed.

Product Totals

The dispatcher may select a group of tickets in the grid by holding the Ctrl key on the keyboard and choosing the line number. Once the tickets are selected, selecting this option displays a list of products and the total amount of the inventory units from Delivery Tickets, and blended units from Blend Tickets.
