    How to edit or delete a special stop in Dumpster Controls

    Special stops you created can be corrected or removed from the task details drawer.

    Before you start

    • An admin, supervisor, or dispatcher role.
    • The stop is not in route or completed.
    1. 1

      Open the stop

      Click the special stop's card. In the drawer, find the "Special Stop" section.

    2. 2

      Edit it

      Click "Edit" to open the "Edit Special Stop" form with the current title, address, times, priority, notes, and driver. Change what you need and click "Save". A toast confirms "Special stop updated".

    3. 3

      Or delete it, twice

      Click "Delete", then confirm through the two-step guard: the button changes to "Are you sure?" and then to "Yes, delete permanently". A toast confirms "Special stop deleted".

    What happens next

    • Deleted stops leave the board and every driver's route immediately.

    Troubleshooting

    I do not see the "Special Stop" section.

    It only appears on special stops (violet "SPECIAL" cards) for allowed roles, and it hides while the stop is in route or completed.
