Task Lists

The proper configuration of the multiple user defined task lists below the schedule pane may be a very important to create an efficient scheduling tool with MyDispatch.  These lists allow the dispatcher drag available tasks to the schedule, make information changes, and conveniently view or edit task details.  

The task list pane includes the following components and tools:

  1. Task list title:  Multiple task lists can be displayed in the task list pane.  Each task list contains a title that is shown on the top of the pane.  Click on the desired list title to view the list.

  2. Sort columns:  The list consists of multiple columns.  Touch the list column to sort the list by a specific column.  

  3. Edit information:  Touch the specific information to edit data.  Touch the desired column information to highlight the field.  Touch the 'X' to delete the data within a field, select data from a possible list or icon, or type in the new information.

  4. Edit task information:  Touch the Ticket to edit the entire task.  Review Edit Task Information for editing instructions.


Touch and hold or right click on a task record to display the context menu as shown above.  

  1. Touch Open item or Shift + Enter to open the task edit dialog
  2. Touch Add Item or Shift + Insert to create a new task
  3. Touch Remote or Ctrl + Del to delete the task.
