Run order and editing

Each driver's lane on the Dispatch board has its own Edit mode for restructuring the run — reordering stops or moving a batch of trips to another driver — without disturbing the rest of the board.

Entering Edit mode

1. On the Dispatch board, find the driver's lane and click Edit in the lane header.
2. The lane shows an Editing order badge. Only one lane can be edited at a time — other lanes' Edit buttons are disabled until you finish.

While editing, the helper text explains the model: click stops to select (click again to deselect), then use the up/down arrows to reorder — or reassign the selection to another driver.

Reordering stops

• Use the Move up / Move down chevrons on a row (or the arrow keys) to shift a stop.
• A pickup can never move below its own drop-off — ZeitRide enforces the pairing.
• Stops that are already completed or in progress are locked in place; you can only reorder what hasn't happened yet.
• When the order differs from what's saved, an Unsaved order chip appears. Click Save order to commit, or Cancel to discard.

Recurring runs: today or every day?

If every trip in the run is recurring, saving asks a scope question — Save run order: apply the new stop order to This day only or to Every occurrence. Choose Every occurrence when this is simply how the run should always go; the same order then materializes on future days.

Reassigning a selection

While in Edit mode, select one or more stops, then open Reassign to driver and pick the new driver. This is the fastest way to split a heavy run — select the second half and move it to another driver in one action.

Temporary changes instead

The lane header also has a Temporary button — use it when a reorder or reassignment should apply only for a date range and then revert automatically. See Temporary schedule changes.

Tips for clean runs

• Watch the lane's capacity pill while reordering — a different order changes who's on board when, and the per-stop On board count updates to match.
• Reorder before the run starts. Once stops complete, they lock, and late reordering can trigger the out-of-order guard (see Managing stops).
• If two dispatchers work the same board, saves are protected — the second save simply retries against the latest order.
