Application Setup

Set up the workspace

The Dispatch panels are not there by default when you open an application with Dispatch for the first time. You need to enable the Dispatch panel and locate it on the interface in the best suitable place for the user. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Go to the menu Window > Dispatch

2. Move the panel to a suitable location by dragging & dropping the window

3. Go to the menu Workspace > Save As and set a name (e.g. Dispatch)

Once enabled, the Dispatch panel can be rearranged. A possible configuration is shown below.
