Driver-Vehicle Affinity
Configure driver-vehicle preferences for automatic assignment.
What is Affinity?
Driver-Vehicle Affinity allows you to set preferred vehicle assignments for each driver. When you use Auto-Assign Vehicles, the system uses these preferences to make intelligent assignments.
Affinity Levels
Level
Priority
Description
Primary
1st Choice
Driver's preferred vehicle
Secondary
2nd Choice
Backup if primary unavailable
Tertiary
3rd Choice
Last resort option
Setting Up Affinity
Navigate to Affinity
Find the driver in the list
Click Edit on their row
Select vehicles for each affinity level:
Primary: Their main vehicle
Secondary: Backup vehicle
Tertiary: Emergency option
Click Save
Auto-Assignment Logic
When you click Auto-Assign Vehicles:
System checks each driver's primary vehicle
If available, assigns primary
If not, checks secondary
If not, checks tertiary
If all unavailable, leaves unassigned for manual review
Best Practice: Set up affinity for all active drivers to maximize auto-assignment efficiency
