Groups of Trailers

Created trailers can be formed into groups. Trailer groups can unite drivers by any criteria, and they can be used to query reports for groups.  Only a trailer belonging to the same resource as the group itself can be added to the group.

To start working with groups, choose the corresponding mode in the 'Trailers' panel.

To create a new group of trailers, press the 'New' button. Enter its name and description. The trailers to form the group are chosen in the list at the left. The contents of the list can change according to the option chosen in the filter above. It can display all the trailers, a group of trailers (the names of the groups are shown in brackets) or the trailers outside groups. Move necessary trailers to the right list using double clicks or the 'Add' button. Press OK.

A list of created trailer groups is displayed in the work area. Groups are arranged alphabetically. The same as for trailers, a filter or a dynamic search can be used for groups. Moreover, groups can be edited, copied, or deleted. Note that upon deleting a group you can not delete its contents.

Trailers not included in any group can be found in the 'Trailers outside groups'.

Series of standard actions are available for trailers in a group (unfold a group in order the corresponding buttons to appear).
