9. Manage Dispatch Operations and Track Live Work in Yeti 4.0
This article explains how to monitor live field operations, review and approve completed jobs for billing, view real-time crew positions on an interactive map, and manage shift time tracking using the Dispatch module in Yeti 4.0.
The Dispatch hub serves as the operational command center in Yeti 4.0. From Dispatch, administrators can track active field runs ("live work in flight"), reassign routes, approve completed work for reporting and invoicing, and monitor crew locations and shift times.
Dispatch Views & FeaturesNote: Approving a completed job moves it out of the active dispatch view and saves it into performance reporting and billing records.

The All Work tab displays a comprehensive list of all recent, active, and outstanding jobs.
