How do I use filter sets for different lanes?

Why one set per lane

The rules that make sense on a run out of one facility rarely match the rules for a run home. With sets you build each list once and switch, instead of adding and deleting facility codes every morning. An example split:

• Outbound: "Only these facilities" with your home facility as Origin, Max Stops at 3, Stem Time at 1 h.
• Return: "Only these facilities" with the same code as Destination, and "Never these facilities" for the yards you refuse.
• Weekend: "Amazon facilities only" on, a state on the Locations list as Any stop, and the equipment you do not run on the Equipment list.

Make, copy, rename and delete sets

The set toolbar sits in the Load filters dialog. Make a new set, or copy the current one and change a few rules. Rename a set so the picker reads like your lanes. Delete a set you no longer run. Each set in the picker shows its rule count and when it last changed, so you can tell them apart before you switch.

Switching sets

Pick a set in the picker and it becomes the one the booker uses. The funnel button on the quick panel shows how many rules are on, so you can confirm the switch without reopening the dialog. Every view of the dialog, Facilities, Locations, Equipment and Trip, shows the set you picked.

Created and changed dates, and the history

Every set shows when it was created and when it last changed. Open its history and you get every change to the set with its time, newest first. Use it when a load was skipped and you cannot remember why the rule is there, or when a set behaves differently from last week.

Export and import

Export a set to a file and import it on another computer. That is how a set moves from the office machine to the laptop in the truck, or from one driver in a fleet to the next. Export before you rebuild a set from scratch, so you can bring the old one back.

Bulk edits inside a set

Tick several entries in a list and delete them together. Max Stops and Stem Time in the Trip view are the same controls as in Settings, so a change in either place lands in the set.
