Driver Availability

This page allows you to create a new profile for driver selection. This profile consists of rules that will help the planner identify drivers satisfying certain criteria from among all the available drivers during planning. You can search drivers based on the parameters listed and save the parameter against the profile ID along with a value to be used as filter criteria. Based on the parameters opted for, the system fetches a list of available drivers. The user can either click the Run Profile button to fetch the list of drivers based on the filter criteria, or the system will create this list via a batch job. You can also add more drivers to the profile output via a manual search.

Click “+Profile” button in the right hand side corner of Driver tab in the “Resource Availability” page to create a new profile.
