What are all ways to create tasks?

You can add a task to a vehicle’s route, create a task in the Pool when you do not know the vehicle yet, or start a task from a place on the map.

In the task form, enter the address, due date and time. Optionally, you can change the type of task (“Loading” is the default), and add a client, a trailer, documents the driver must scan to complete the task, driver instructions, or an order ID.

📘 The document list uses Mapon’s standard task document types. To add your own types, please use our API with your TMS when you create tasks.

In a vehicle’s route

  1. Go to Map → Tasks → Planning:

  2. Click the vehicle’s card to open the vehicle:

  3. Under Routes, expand the route:

  4. Click + Task at the bottom of the route:

  5. Fill in the task form. The task belongs to this vehicle, and the route is already selected; you can choose another route of the same vehicle:

  6. Click Save:

If the route was already sent, send it again so the driver gets the new task.

In the Pool

  1. Go to Map → Tasks → Pool:

  2. Click + Task at the top.

  3. Fill in the task form. A Pool task has no vehicle, and choosing a Pool route is optional.

  4. Click Save:

The task appears in the Pool, ready to be moved or duplicated to a vehicle. To add the task straight to a Pool route, click + Task inside that route instead; that route is then already selected in the form.

From the map

  1. Open a vehicle under Planning, or open the Pool.

  2. Right-click the place on the map and choose Create new task:

  3. Fill in the task form. The address is already filled in; on a vehicle’s map, choose one of that vehicle’s routes.

  4. Click Save:
