Catastrophic revision

Not in my DO yet and no manager has mentioned anything about it.

Those that are already doing it ... Roughly how long is it adding to your indoor prep?

If you've not even done any scanning ready for delivery you'll notice the time.

We've been scanning at frame for several years now. This 'Scanning to Core Route' is a bit more involved.

Previously scanning 'Ready for Delivery' meant you could scan loads of parcels one after the other. The odd one or two would
come up with an in-flt request. But you could 'batch scan' up to fifty and then submit.

Now scanning 'To Core Route' means each individual tracked is scanned one by one, the 'system' checks the address and you have to click submit
after each individual parcel. Often the 'system' does not recognise the address and you have to confirm it. For addresses
that have re-directions in force you have to select that the re-dir is valid for the parcel or not.

So yes it takes more time. I'd say scanning each parcel ready for delivery took less than a second, scanning to core route takes up to four seconds
depending if the address is recognised or not and the PDA decides ok you've decided that's good (you get the spinning circle of doom
while it thinks about it!).

Then when you've scanned all your tracked you'll get a list that you upload to 'the cloud'. This then places the tracked on
a list on your 'Outdoor' screen. The ones that have had their address recognised are obvious, the ones that didn't just appear
without any address attached. When you deliver one, it gets ticked. Makes your Outdoor screen very cluttered especially
if your PDA now displays your walk hazards, but you can hide them from the Outdoor screen.

Even if you don't personally deliver ie it was taken by your van share partner or oversize driver it'll still appear on your PDA
without a tick at the end of the day, but the PDA doesn't have a fit if you've not personally delivered it, you can logout
with apparently 'undelivered' entries on 'your' PDA list.

How do you hide the hazards???

It seems a bit random, I've used different PDA's, you can hide them on some and not on others from the 3 vertical dots on the Outdoor
screen, I think the software is faulty, you shouldn't really be able to hide the hazards!

no probs i think there should be an option to hide them for duty holders as we know the hazards already.Its the screen is now full of info.

Just checked again today and when your on 'Outdoor' select the 3 vertical dots and you (might) have 'Hide Delivery Points'.
This hides all the packets you've scanned to core route and the hazards (well it did for me). All that left on the screen
was any customer collections and the box collections

Other colleagues in the office don't seem to have that option and their screen looks like the departures board at Kings Cross!
Don't know whether it's the particular PDA, the individuals logon or the route that's the source of the discrepancy.

cheers for that il try it.I had a different pda today someone nicked mine so i had a clear screen just collections and boxes to go figure.
