The Swap operation can be used to exchange the Start Date/Time, End Date/Time and Dock ID for two dock commitments.
In some cases, the carrier may want to switch the slots to accommodate driver availability or driver preferences. The Swap operation can be used in cases where there are no available dock slots and the carrier is not allowed to introduce a dock commitment violation condition, meaning that there would be no way for a carrier user to swap the slots since the user would not be allowed to temporarily "park" the requirements for one of the stops using an invalid dock slot.
This operation is available from the Dock Commitment Gantt Chart as well as from the dock commitments lists that support updates. On screens where the Swap operation is available, user can select zero, one or two dock commitments before triggering the operation. Any dock commitments selected from the source list or chart will be passed to the Swap Dock Commitments screen and used to default either or both of the Dock Commitment IDs on the page. The Swap Dock Commitments screen will be presented just once regardless of whether zero, one or two dock commitments were selected.
