Task statuses
Typical progression for transport work:
Unscheduled: default; not yet on the calendar
Scheduled: has a scheduled date
Assigned: scheduled with driver and vehicle; collection actions are available
Collected: waste collected; may proceed to drop-off or receival
Dropped Off: drop-off step completed (only when drop-off is enabled for your organisation)
Completed: task finished
Cancelled: task cancelled
Which statuses appear and the order you move through them depend on task type and site configuration (for example, sites without drop-off skip Dropped Off).
Allocation rules (summary)
Every collection item on the job must be allocated to at least one transport waste task.
Non-count items are allocated to one transport task.
Count items can be split across multiple transport tasks.
