How to use Dispatch on your phone in Dumpster Controls

On mobile, Dispatch becomes an overview-first screen built for one-thumb assigning while you are away from the desk.

1
Read the overview
The mobile home shows three counters: "No driver", "Assigned", and "Late" (red when anything is late). Below them sit the "Pool · no driver" entry ("Tasks waiting to be assigned") and the "Drivers" list, each driver with their stop count, status chip, and completed-of-total progress.
2
Drill into a list
Tap "Pool · no driver" or a driver to open their task list. A "Back" button returns to the overview, and the search box ("Search order, customer, address…") filters the list.
3
Assign with one tap
Tap "Assign" on any card to open the "Assign to…" sheet, then tap a driver. Use "Unassign (back to pool)" to send a task back.
4
Reorder with chevrons
Use the up and down chevron buttons on each card to change the stop order. Drag-and-drop is desktop-only.
5
Call the customer
Tap "Call" on a card to dial the customer directly.

What happens next

Every action behaves exactly like desktop: same statuses, same driver notifications, same live updates.
If tasks are late, the overview shows a warning: "{count} task(s) are late: assign or reschedule them."

That is by design. Use the "Assign" button to move tasks between drivers and the chevrons to reorder.
