Vehicle Availability

This page allows you to create a new profile for vehicle selection. This profile consists of rules that will help the planner identify vehicles satisfying certain criteria from among all the available vehicles during planning. You can search vehicles based on the parameters listed and save the parameters 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 vehicles. The user can either click the Run Profile button to fetch the list of vehicles based on the filter criteria, or the system will create this list via a batch job. You can also add more vehicles to the profile output via a manual search.
