- 6. Last dispatched calls
- all calls dispatched to cars in service that have accepted their calls. By clicking on the small arrow to the right of dispatched calls, you can select or uncheck different options such as just calls, paratransit, public transportation, message, private message, question message and completed call. There are different colors associated with distributed calls.

- 7. Functions (F1 - F12)
- They have several functions, sometimes different depending on the call acceptance screen or the dispatch screen.
 : In the call screen it is used to force a manual call that the address is not in the database. In the dispatch screen it is used to see where a particular car is and the
and the status of its call. Is it in direction or call completed.
 : Call Pickup Screen: Used to view the list of recent phone numbers, approximately the last 10. Dispatch: Used to view the details of a call waiting in the dispatch screen.
 : Call Screen: None. Dispatch: Usually used in the very busy periods of the morning, late afternoon and the one of 3 am. This activates the rush mode. Specifically it makes your calls change zones. Instead of having 3 zones or searching for a car there will be only one. Your cars will avoid driving several kilometers when there are several calls waiting. Depending on the company and the number of cars present, this can be activated with three, four, five or more calls on hold.
 Image F4 Options Personnalisées  : Both sides have the same function. One time F4 will take you back to your personal options. Twice in a row will log you out of the program.
 Image F5 Recherche d'Appel  : Call search menu. You can search by car, address, suitable transport numbers or remarks and comments. You can also see all calls of the day and more by left-clicking on date/time and left-clicking on search. See also Call information
 : In the call screen, F6 is used to send a call. You can also use enter twice. In some companies the F6 in the dispatch screen will open the accounts that the company they serve.
 : When a customer calls back to find out where his cab is, the F7 key is used to generate a callback. The call will appear in the dispatch screen in yellow. When the customer uses the same address shortly after the first call for a second person, it is best to use the regular formula and specify that it is for another person.
 : Canceling a call. When a customer calls back to cancel his cab request, the operator who presses F8 will send the call to the dispatcher's screen and will be in red meaning that it is cancelled and to notify the car by sending the cancellation in his tablet. *F9: priority call. The call can be sent to the dispatch screen as a priority call with different delays depending on the priority of the call and it will be green on the dispatch screen. You can also display the car display board with F9 if you are in the dispatch screen.
 Image F9 Appel Prioritaire  : This is used to activate the hook table via the dispatch screen when it is closed. It is also used in some companies to put a priority on a call using a table of predefined priorities. Ex. Reservations for such and such a place according to the company's contracts.
 : It is used to change the screen either from call taking to dispatch or vice versa.
 Image F11 Message Véhicule  : Send a message to a specific driver. Is done on both screens.
 Image F12 Option de messages  : Drop down menu with 16 different options. You can find everything related to adapted transportation. For those who are with Moctel your infotel is there too. For those who work with access and Giro, your task manager is also there. There is also an option that is used during rush periods to send messages between employees to communicate information between them.
