  • 1. Node name.
    Note: This does not have to be a driver. It can also be a vehicle, a trailer or a mobile data terminal.
  • 2. Decide if this node is a Planning node.
    Planning nodes are displayed on the left side of the screen, other nodes do not show but can be assigned to a trip (like a truck to a driver or a trailer to a truck).
  • 3. Here you can link a node with a group.
    To create groups go to: Backoffice -> Dispatch -> Driver groups.
  • 4. The phone or email address of the node (if applicable).
    • This is used for messaging.
    • For email: fill in an emailaddress, i.e. me@mycompany.com
    • For phones: Fill in the international number, i.e. +31620812746.
  • 5. URL pin: enter a unique (secret) number here that only the driver may know.
    • This number can be used from mobile browsers (browsers on a PDA or a smartphone or browsers used in on-board computers) for easy access to jobs and statuses.
    • Drivers can this URL to get access to their assigned jops::
    • rutgers.cargooffice.com/mobile?1234 (where 1234 is the URL pin and rutgers is the company code)
    • rutgers.cargof.com/mobile?1234 (shorter version)
  • 6. Show messages: enter 'Yes' if you allow customers to see the messages between you and your drivers, normally this would be set to 'No'.
  • 7. Description: some description of the node, e.g. the name of the driver, a license plate number or a trailer number.
  • 8. Node CN: The carrier number of the node. Normally: 0.
    This is only used when the node is owned by an other carrier which is also a Cargooffice user.
