Driver group settings

This is a reference for every control in a driver group's drawer, grouped by the tab it appears on. For how groups work and how to create one, start with create and configure a driver group.

Open a group from the Driver Groups page and select Save to apply changes. Where a setting shapes eligibility, dispatch, or optimization, the description explains what it asks Nash to do — the result is decided when a delivery is dispatched or a route is built, so treat behavior as intent rather than a guarantee.

Note

Fleet and this page are gated. Availability varies by organization — if you don't see it, reach out to Nash. When your access is scoped, only membership is editable and the rest of these settings are read-only.

General

Setting	What it does
Name	The group's name. Required.
External ID	Your own reference for the group in outside systems. Optional.
Customer Support Contact	A Phone Number shared with drivers for customer inquiries. Optional.

Driver App Settings

Overrides that change how the Nash driver app behaves for this group. Add a setting with Add a setting to override; each override shows the current Org value it replaces. Settings you don't override keep the org-level value from Fleet settings (My Fleet), so a group only differs where you deliberately override it.

Setting	Options (default)	What it does
Require acceptance for assigned deliveries	On / Off (org value)	Drivers must explicitly accept deliveries; they appear in the app's New tab.
Enforce pickup sequence	On / Off (org value)	Requires drivers to pick up items in the given order.
Edit items on package list	On / Off (org value)	Lets drivers edit item quantities on the package list.
Package list grouping	By stop / By category (org value)	How items are grouped on the driver-app package list.
Allow partial delivery	On / Off (org value)	Lets a driver deliver some items for a stop and mark the rest not delivered.
Auto-complete returns	On / Off (org value)	Completes return tasks automatically instead of a manual step.
Skip item marking	On / Off (org value)	Drivers see only the item count; completing a stop marks all items picked or delivered.

Drivers

The group's membership — the drivers Nash may draw from for this group. Use Add Drivers to add drivers and the list to remove them. Manage the drivers themselves on the Drivers page (add and edit a driver).

Vehicles

Vehicles linked to the group, added with Add Vehicles. This tab appears when vehicle-based dispatch is enabled for your organization. Manage the vehicles themselves on the Vehicles page (manage vehicles).

Features

Geographical Eligibility

Constraints on where the group can pick up and drop off. Pickup Eligibility and Dropoff Eligibility each expand to the same set of filters; leaving a filter empty means it doesn't constrain the group. Each filter narrows which deliveries the group is eligible for.

Filter	What it does
Zones	Zones where pickups (or dropoffs) are allowed.
Store Locations	Specific store locations for pickups (or dropoffs).
Countries	Countries where pickups (or dropoffs) are allowed.
States/Regions	States or regions where pickups (or dropoffs) are allowed.
Cities	City names where pickups (or dropoffs) are allowed.
Zip/Postal Codes	Zip or postal codes where pickups (or dropoffs) are allowed.

Operating Hours

The days and time windows the group operates. Select a day to open a drawer and configure one or more windows for it; a day with no windows is Not configured. Used to decide when the group is eligible.

Package Requirements

The package requirements the group supports (for example refrigeration or a specific handling type), used when Nash checks the group's eligibility for a delivery. You can add custom values.

Driver Assignment

Controls how deliveries are offered to the group's drivers.

Setting	Options (default)	What it does
Publish Deliveries to Drivers	On / Off (off)	Makes deliveries visible to available drivers so they can see and accept them. Turning it on reveals the fields below.
Max deliveries	Number (Unlimited)	The most deliveries to publish at once. Blank means unlimited.
Per	Unlimited / Hour / Day / Delivery window (Unlimited)	The window the Max deliveries cap applies over.
Max radius	Distance (Unlimited)	How far out to publish deliveries from the driver, in your organization's distance unit.
Buffer minutes	Number (0)	Extra time before and after each accepted delivery's window when checking for overlap. Applies only when Per is Delivery window.

Proof of Delivery

Requirements applied even when the order itself doesn't require them.

Setting	Options (default)	What it does
Pickup POD	On / Off (off)	Automatically requires a proof of delivery at pickup.
Dropoff POD	On / Off (off)	Automatically requires a proof of delivery at dropoff.
Signature	On / Off (off)	Automatically requires a signature for the delivery.

Dispatch
