Installing the 2-Way Mobile Application

The Digital Waybill 2-Way application provides 2-way dispatching, GPS tracking, barcode scanning and signature capture. To run the app, you'll need a Java-enabled phone or an Android based phone. You'll also need GPS for driver tracking, a touchscreen for true signature capture, and a camera to scan barcodes (these aren't necessary for the 2-way to work, though).

The easiest way to get the 2-Way application installed on your drivers' phones is to use the 'Get Online' feature within the main Order Panel. If you're using an Android phone, download and run the app directly from the Android Marketplace, and skip to the last step. Otherwise, follow these steps:

-You'll need a data plan for this to work. Also, make sure GPS is enabled on the phone to allow for driver tracking.
-Go to your Drivers window and double-click on a driver to edit.
-In the window with the driver's details, you'll see a 'Get Online' button to the right; click it. As long as the driver's phone number and provider are correct, the program will send a download link to the phone.
-Click on the download link to open the phone's mobile browser.
-Select the most appropriate option. If none seems relevant, select 'Phone'.
-Open/run the file after download. Depending on the phone, you may have to search a little. Usually the file is saved in a 'Downloads' folder or something similar.
-The app will prompt you to enter a CID and Driver ID. These can be found in the same driver details window, right above the 'Get Online' button. Note, the Driver ID is their 10 digit phone number, not the Driver Number used for dispatching.

Here's a breakdown of the correct options by provider and phone, along with any additional instructions:
