The Jobs & Dispatch module includes a comprehensive notification and alert system designed to keep administrators, dispatchers, and drivers informed about job status, schedule changes, and time-sensitive issues. This system operates across multiple channels, from visual indicators in the interface to push notifications on mobile devices.
Why Notifications & Alerts Matter
Effective notifications ensure:
Types of Alerts in Jobs & Dispatch

| Overdue | Job scheduled date has passed | Red badge/border |
| Priority | Manually flagged as urgent | Yellow/gold badge |
| Was Overdue | Previously overdue but rescheduled | Orange badge |
| Completed Late | Finished after scheduled date | Gray/orange badge |
| Status Change | Job moved to new status | Toast notification |
| Assignment | Driver assigned or changed | Toast + push notification |
