Interpret Courier job-flow counts
This guide explains how the dashboard groups jobs by their saved lifecycle state. The guide then takes you through the correct route, the checks to complete before making changes, the workflow in order, and the evidence to review afterwards.

What you’ll accomplish
Understand how the dashboard groups jobs by their saved lifecycle state. The instructions below follow the supplied module’s controller, form and model rules, including server-side validation and downstream effects.
Follow these steps
- Go to Dashboard.
- Compare draft, available, quoted, assigned, accepted, collection, delivery, completed and cancelled counts.
- Go to Jobs with the matching filter for the underlying records.
Fields and options to review
Pre-dispatchdraft, available, quoted
Assigned flowassigned, accepted, en_route_collection, collected, en_route_delivery
Closed flowcompleted, cancelled
Rules the system enforces
- Counts do not override transition rules.
- A completed count requires locally retained POD evidence; an external completion alone does not satisfy this rule.
How to confirm it worked
- The source record, status/history and any downstream notification, provider, POD or finance record should agree after the action.
Security, audit and operational checks
- Use the exact record and least-privilege role before changing any state.
- Verify the saved record after every action; a browser message alone is not evidence that every downstream step completed.
- Use protected document and image routes rather than exposing server filesystem paths.
- Keep customer, driver, provider, financial and credential data within the authorised workflow.
- For provider, finance, employment, transport and compliance decisions, follow the organisation’s authorised professional process.
Do not bypass the code flowDo not force database values, invent a status, mark a job completed without signed POD evidence, or expose encrypted credentials to make a screen appear successful.
