Fields

Filter	Description
Name	Give each rule a unique name, and group in folders. Avoid using commas in the Truck Assignment rule name, because when exporting future reports to CSV, the commas result in misalignment of the columns.
Enabled	If the rule is available to be used, leave the box checked. Uncheck the box to turn to disable the rule
Calendar Switch	Constrain the rule to a particular Calendar Switch
Loaders	Constrain the rule to particular loaders. Agents evaluate whether the loader used to mine the record is included in the loader list.
Sources	Constrain the rule to particular sources. Agents evaluate whether the record source is included in the source list.
Parcels	Constrain the rule to particular parcels. Agents evaluate whether the parcel being mined is included in the parcel list.
Destinations	Constrain the rule to particular destinations. Agents evaluate which destination in the list is available.
Trucks	Select the trucks that can operate with a particular Loader

This rule will not lock a fleet of trucks to a loader. If trucks are assigned to multiple Loaders in multiple rules, to control which loader has priority over a fleet go to the Calendar tab and de-rate the other loaders.

Order

The order of truck assignments matter. If two rules assign different trucks to a Loader, the trucks in the first rule will be exhausted before the second rule is evaluated.
