How to manage scheduled deliveries in Dumpster Controls

The "Operations" page's "Deliveries" tab ("Orders that need delivery assignment or scheduling") is the office view of everything not yet dropped off.

1. 1

   Open the tab

   Click "Operations" in the sidebar; the "Deliveries" tab is the default. Chips summarize urgency: "Total", "Late", "Today", "Tomorrow", "Next Week". Click a chip to filter.

2. 2

   Find the order

   Use "Search order, customer, address...", the "Filters" row (sort by "Oldest Due", "Newest", "Highest Amount"; filter by size and driver), or "Export CSV" for a spreadsheet.

3. 3

   Assign a driver

   Unassigned cards show an "Assign Driver" button that opens the drawer straight at "Driver Assignment" ("Select a driver below to assign this delivery order."). Pick a driver and click "Save Assignment"; use "Remove Driver" or the "Unassigned" option to take one off.

4. 4

   Change the scheduled date

   In the drawer, the "Delivery Date" row has a pencil icon. Pick the new date and confirm; a toast shows "Date updated". The order and every active dispatch task move together, and the change is logged on the order's timeline with your name.

5. 5

   Confirm a forgotten delivery

   The "Mark as Delivered" section ("Manually confirm delivery if driver forgot") opens with "Confirm Delivery Completed". Optionally select the "Dumpster Number" from inventory ("Select a dumpster unit", or type a manual label like "D-1042" when no units are configured), upload delivery photos ("Photos are optional but recommended"), and click "Confirm Delivered".

6. 6

   Edit everything else

   The same drawer exposes "Delivery Information" for edits, plus "Internal Notes" ("Add a note (not visible to customer)...") and the "Activity Timeline".
