Action Types

Action types determine what the action will accomplish.

They are not only meant to execute certain events, but also to maintain a detailed history of the logistics order and activity.

ACTION TYPE	DESCRIPTION
Arrive	Indicates the asset has arrived at a given location. Sets an arrival timestamp and updates the current address for the associated demand.
Depart	Indicates the asset has departed a given location. Sets a departure timestamp and removes the current address.
Transfer	Moves demand from one location to another. Sets the current activity for the associated demand. There are three types of transfer actions: Loads Asset: Adds the demand to the activity (e.g., from terminal to trailer). Additionally, this allows you to create a handling unit on the fly if handling units are introduced during activity processing. Unloads Asset: Removes the demand from the activity (e.g., from trailer to dock). Locate: Allows you to transfer handling units from one position to another.
Generic	The action has no specific business logic. Generic actions simply change statuses based on their configurations.
Start	Initiates the activity. A start action is required for each activity.
End	Concludes the activity. An end action is required for each activity.
Document Reference	Creates a document reference for the activity line. Supported attachments can be a plain text, note, or an image file. Example Use this action type to require proof of delivery in the Legacy Deliver Mobile App. Create an action with Document reference selected, turn on the Proof of Delivery Required? toggle, then select Image or Signature depending on your requirement needs.
Change Driver	Changes the active driver on the activity.
Check In	Captures the action of receiving inventory.
Flush Inventory	Adjusts the inventory attached to the activity.
Generate Loading Work	Creates work that moves the inventory tied to an activity handling unit to the specified handling unit location.
Finalize	Finalizes the activity. The order is no longer editable and cannot be associated to future activities. Finalization is necessary to begin contract processing.
Inspection	Creates an inspection record for the Inspection Log.
