The last known locations of crews and employees can be displayed in the map area of the screen to facilitate dispatching work order activities to the closest crew/employee. The system uses the breadcrumb tracking feature in the Mobile Transit app to accomplish this. Therefore, breadcrumb tracking feature must be enabled if the locations of crews and employees are to be displayed on the map. See installation parameters GPSLSRCD and GPSLSINT for details.

  • If breadcrumbs are not enabled, then the system will not be able to display the employee or crew location on the map. Remember, though, this does not prevent them from being dispatched. It only prevents their last know location from being represented on the map.

  • The breadcrumb locations of employees and crews is based on the related table (i.e., r5mobilelbsdata) on the EAM server. Therefore, the latest location displayed in the map section of this screen is only as up to date as the table which was updated the last time each mobile device was synchronized.

  • Crew locations are based on the crew employee whose Determines Crew Location for Dispatching checkbox is selected on the Employee screen. The idea is, normally, only 1 member of the crew has the Mobile Transit app installed. This would likely be a crew supervisor or supervisor. It is this employee’s location that determines where the crew is located on the dispatching screen map.
