Assigning Operators

Introduction

Section titled “Introduction”

Assigning an operator (driver or partner) to a booking is a key step in the booking workflow. Once a booking is accepted, you can assign a driver or partner operator to fulfill the transfer. The assigned operator receives notifications about their assignment and can view all relevant booking details.

Currently, you can assign an operator in three ways:

  1. From the bookings table - Using bulk actions for multiple bookings, or by clicking the Assign button in the Operator column for single bookings
  2. From the booking details page - Using the Assign button
  3. From the calendar view - Clicking on a booking event
