How to work the Deliveries tab in Dumpster Controls

The Deliveries tab lists every order waiting for a dumpster to go out, with filters and statuses computed from the delivery date.

  1. Read the header

    The section is titled "Deliveries" with the subtitle "Orders that need delivery assignment or scheduling". Next to it sit the search box ("Search order, customer, address..."), a date filter with live counts ("Total", "Late", "Today", "Tomorrow", "Next Week"), "Export CSV", and "New Order".

  2. Filter and sort

    The filter row offers sorting ("Oldest Due", "Newest", "Highest Amount", "Nearest Date"), a size filter ("All Sizes", "12 Yard", "20 Yard", "30 Yard"), a driver filter ("All Drivers", "Assigned", "Unassigned", or a specific driver), and a payment filter ("All", "Paid", "Unpaid", "Partial"). "Clear" resets everything. On mobile the same filters live behind a "Filters" button.

  3. Read a row

    Columns are "Order ID", "Size", "Address", "Customer", "Amount", "Delivery", "Status", and "Driver / Actions". The status pill is automatic: "Late", "Ready", or "Scheduled" based on the delivery date, with "Today" and "Tomorrow" tags next to the date. A "#" chip shows the unit serial when one is linked.

  4. Spot new and online orders

    Orders that just arrived flash a "NEW" badge for 30 seconds and play a short chime. Orders booked through your public booking page carry a green "ONLINE" badge.

  5. Act on a row

    Click anywhere on the row to open the order drawer. The "Assign Driver" button jumps straight to driver assignment, the eye icon opens details, and the three-dot menu includes "Decline Order".

What happens next

Troubleshooting

I see "No deliveries found".

The list is filtered. The empty state suggests "Try adjusting your search or filters"; click "Clear" to reset.
