CabSupport FAQ
01
CabSupport Dashboard
Developed for Support Agents that need to provide support to drivers.
For best performance we recommend using the Chrome web browser and accepting all permission requests that are presented (e.g. notifications, microphone, video)
Dashboard Features
Search
Searches on driver name and Support ID
Name
Driver name
Drivers are imported from Platform Science the first time they launch the CabSupport app
Status
In Progress - On a current call with a Support agent
Available - HOS status != driving (e.g. Off Duty, On Duty, Sleeper)
Note: Available status also is shown if a driver is unable to log in to their tablet but has requested support
Unavailable - HOS status == driving
Offline - app is not running or driver is not logged in
Vehicle ID
External_ID from Platform Science if driver is connected to a CVD
N/A if driver is not connected to a CVD or is not logged into their tablet
Support ID
This is a unique code used for searching for a support request and is especially valuable if more than one driver share the same name, or a driver is requesting support without being logged into their tablet
This code is also shown to the driver on the tablet app so they can tell the support agent (if they’re speaking to one over the phone)
Request Time
Time that the driver clicked the Request Support button
Time is localized to the dashboard user’s timezone
If the request was placed on a previous day, the date of the request is shown instead of the time
Time in Waiting Room
Elapsed time from when a Support Request was placed to when a Support Agent calls the driver
Time in Call
Duration of the call after both the driver and the Support Agent join the call
Actions
Claim / Close
Allows a Support Agent to claim a support request so that no other agents take the request
If a support request is claimed by another agent, the agent name is shown on hover
Closing a request can only be done by the Support Agent who initially claimed it after the driver’s issues have been resolved
Call button
Launches a call window with screen sharing enabled (so the driver’s tablet is visible)
Audio is disabled by default
Video is not supported
Dashboard FAQ
Call window does not appear on web
Make sure you’re using the Chrome web browser
Make sure that notifications and camera/microphone are enabled in the Chrome browser settings
Make sure that no one else is logged in with the same account you are using (only one web user will ring for an incoming call)
