# Understanding Yojee Operations: Automating Hub-Based Logistics
## Learn how to use the Operations function in Yojee to automatically add stops between pickup and drop-off locations for hub-based deliveries.
### **Overview**
The **Operations** function in Yojee is designed to streamline logistics by automatically adding intermediate stops (hubs) between pickup and drop-off locations. This is ideal for movements involving **Service Hubs**, enabling more efficient routing and delivery workflows.
Follow this guide to set up and apply operations for your logistics needs.
---
### **Prerequisites**
Before creating an operation, ensure:
1. At least one **Hub** is created.
2. The hub address is saved in the **Address Book**.
- See **[How do I create a Hub?](https://help.yojee.com/knowledge/hubs?hsLang=en)** for instructions.
---
### **Part 1: Create an Operation**
#### ****
#### **Steps to Create an Operation**
1. Navigate to **Manage** from the profile menu.
2. Go to **Planning \> Operations**.
3. Click **Add Operation**.
#### **Operation Details**
- **Name**: Enter a name to identify the operation (e.g., "Next-Day Delivery Hub").
- **Link to Previous Task/Operation**: Ensures a connection between the pickup task and Step 1 of the new tasks you create.
- **Link to Next Task/Operation**: Ensures a connection between the final hub task and the existing drop-off task.
#### **Example Steps**
This example demonstrates creating a hub operation for next-day deliveries, by inserting a dropoff, and pickup at a hub location.
**Step 1: Add a Dropoff Task
**
- **Task Type**: Select **Dropoff**.
- **Service Hub**: Choose the desired service hub.
- **Address**: Enter the hub address (auto-populated from the Address Book).
- Click **+ Add New Step** to proceed.
**Step 2: Add a Pickup Task
**
- **Task Type**: Select **Pickup**.
- **Service Hub**: Use the same service hub as in Step 1.
- **Address**: Use the same hub address as in Step 1.
- Click **Save** to complete the operation setup.
#### **When to Link Tasks**
- **Link Dropoff Tasks**: Always link the dropoff task to the preceding pickup task to represent a specific leg of the consignment.
- **Do Not Link Pickup Tasks**: Pickup tasks represent the start of a new leg and should not link to preceding tasks.
---
### **Part 2: Apply the Operation to a Service Type**
Now that your operation is created, specify which **Service Type** it should apply to:
1. In Manage, navigate to **Orders \> Service Types**.
2. Edit an existing service type where you want to apply the operation.
3. From the **Operation** dropdown, select the operation you just created.
4. Click **Save** to apply the changes.
---
### **Outcome**
All orders created with the selected service type will now automatically include pickup and drop-off tasks for the designated hub.
#### **Example Scenarios**
- **Without Operation**: Direct pickup and drop-off.
- **With Operation**: Additional hub tasks inserted automatically.
---
### **Key Takeaways**
- Use Operations to automate task insertion for hub-based logistics.
- Link tasks appropriately to represent specific legs of a consignment.
- Apply operations to service types to streamline your logistics workflow.
