Vehicle Setup in Agvance SKY Dispatch provides a centralized location to view, add, and maintain Vehicles within Agvance SKY. Agvance SKY Dispatch also supports defining Vehicle Compartment information, enabling improved capacity tracking and supporting Ops/Tender Driver workflows.
Vehicle Setup
Vehicle Management is located within Company Settings and can be found under the Vehicles tab. The Vehicle Setup page displays Vehicles in a grid format, allowing Vehicle information to be reviewed and maintained directly within Agvance SKY Dispatch. Each row represents a Vehicle record.
The grid supports filtering and column personalization to assist with locating specific Vehicles. Filters allow Vehicle records to be narrowed based on operational needs, such as Location or Type. The Active column indicates whether the Vehicle is currently enabled for use in Agvance SKY Dispatch-related setups.
Vehicles may be added by selecting + Add Vehicle. Existing Vehicles may be edited directly from the grid, and Vehicles may be inactivated if no longer in service. The Vehicle ID must be unique and cannot be modified once the Vehicle has been created in Agvance SKY.
Vehicle Compartments
Agvance SKY Dispatch supports defining Compartment information for Vehicles. Compartments may be defined during Vehicle setup or added later from the Vehicle Setup grid. Multiple Compartments may be defined for a single Vehicle. Vehicles may contain varying numbers of Compartments, and Compartments within the same Vehicle may have different capacities.
A Compartment Capacity Type must be selected before Compartments can be added. Capacity may be defined in Gallons or Pounds.
Vehicles must be enabled for selection within Applicator, Delivery, Tender, and Integration setups. Accurate Vehicle and Compartment setup ensures equipment is assigned appropriately within Agvance SKY Dispatch processes.
Adding Compartments
Compartments may be added to a Vehicle that does not yet have any defined.
- From the Vehicle Setup grid, select the Vehicle to be updated.
- Select the Compartments area of the Vehicle.
- Choose the Compartment Capacity Type.
- Add each Compartment and enter its capacity.
- Select Save Changes.
Editing Compartments
Existing Compartment details may be updated from the same location as equipment configurations change.
- From the Vehicle Setup grid, select the Vehicle to be updated.
- Select the Compartments area of the Vehicle.
- Update the Compartment configuration or capacity values as needed.
- Select Save Changes.
Compartments with Loaded Product
If a Compartment being changed has Product loaded, the update is rejected, and an error indicates the Vehicle cannot be updated because Compartments with Product loaded are being changed. The loaded Product must be addressed before the Compartment can be changed.
