Ranking Algorithms
Ranking algorithms are used in ranking functions to determine how to rank drivers or vehicles. Ranking algorithms work just like calculated variables and algorithms, only they are created from the Driver Assignment Listing screen.
RateManager supports two types of ranking algorithms:
Both algorithms work the same in that at the end of the algorithm, you set a result equal to the value to be used for ranking. The only difference being that Rank Vehicle algorithms are used to rank vehicles by setting Vehicle Result, while Rank Driver algorithms are used to rank drivers by setting Driver Result.
Shown below is an example of a Rank Driver algorithm. It uses a predefined driver table variable, Pleasure Use Factor, to set the Driver Result.
Step 1: Driver Result = Pleasure Use Factor
Vehicle Result and Driver Result are available from the Available Variables, Functions, and Constants drop down under DA Vehicle Results and DA Driver Results, respectively.
