Set Up Daily Tasks

What is this?

A daily task tells Clue what the trucks do in a shift. Each task has a load Area, a dump Area, a material and a time window. Clue uses the tasks to count loads and to sort them by material. You set the tasks for each date and shift.

Who's this for?

• Superintendents, plan the haul routes for each shift.
• Foremen, check where the trucks load and dump today.
• Project managers, keep the plan correct so the counts are correct.

How to use it

Step 1: Open Daily Tasks

Open a project in Operations > Production and click Daily Tasks. The Task Overview panel shows the tasks for the date and shift.

Step 2: Edit the tasks

Click Edit. Click Add New to add a task. Use the ... menu on a task to change it.

Step 3: Set the route and material

In New Daily task, pick the From Location where trucks load. Pick the To Location where they dump. Pick the Material Type.

Step 4: Set the time window

Under Advanced Settings, set the Start Time and End Time. You can also pick a Designate Loading Unit and a Cycle Time Target. Click Save, or Cancel to close.
