# Special Actions – Autocomplete and Auto-Complete Preceding Legs
## Automate task and leg completion to improve operational accuracy and reduce manual work.
#### **Overview**
The **Special Actions** in Yojee TCMS allow you to automate the completion of tasks and legs within an order.
These actions are especially useful in **multi-leg movements** or **multi-branch operations**, where preceding legs can remain open after subsequent legs begin.
By automating this process, dispatchers can ensure cleaner reporting, improved data accuracy, and reduced manual follow-up.
---
#### **How to Set Up Special Actions**
To configure these automations:
1. Navigate to **Manage** (via the profile menu in the top-right corner).
2. Select **Orders → Service Types**.
3. Either **create a new** or **edit an existing** Service Type.
4. Scroll down to the **Special Actions** section.
You’ll find three available automation options:
### **1. Autocomplete Dropoff**
Automatically completes the **drop-off task** after the related **pickup task** is completed.
> Use this for **single-task movements** where the delivery completion immediately follows pickup.
### **2. Complete Preceding Legs**
When a subsequent leg begins (e.g., pickup completed on the next leg), all earlier legs are automatically marked as completed.
> Ideal for **internal transfers or multi-branch cargo movements**, ensuring previous legs don’t remain open once the next journey starts.
### **3. Complete Preceding at Destination**
When a **destination leg (drop-off)** is completed, all preceding legs are automatically completed.
> Note: **Empty container return (MT)** legs are excluded and must be completed manually.
Once you’ve selected the desired toggle(s), click **Save** to apply your changes.
---
#### **How It Works**
After configuration, TCMS automatically handles task completion based on your selected setting:
| **Setting** | **Trigger Event** | **Action** | **Use Case / Notes** |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Autocomplete Dropoff** | When a pickup task is completed | Automatically completes the linked drop-off task | Simplifies single-pickup/single-drop orders |
| **Complete Preceding Legs** | When a subsequent leg starts (pickup completed) | Marks all earlier legs as completed | Keeps reporting clean and reduces manual closures |
| **Complete Preceding at Destination** | When the final destination leg is completed | Completes all preceding legs | MT/empty return legs remain open |
### Additional Details
- **Timestamps:** Automatically completed tasks are assigned timestamps 10 seconds earlier than the subsequent task for chronological accuracy.
- **Reports & APIs:** Auto-completed tasks behave like standard manual completions—reflected normally in all reports and data exports.
- **Exclusions:** MT (empty return) legs are excluded when using *Complete Preceding at Destination*.
---
#### **Use Cases**
These automation options are best suited for:
- **Single-task deliveries**, where pickup completion implies drop-off completion.
- **Multi-branch or inter-depot cargo transfers**, ensuring prior legs close automatically.
- **Full Container Load (FCL) operations**, simplifying multi-leg order management.
- **High-volume dispatch environments**, reducing repetitive manual leg updates.
Enabling these automations helps maintain **data integrity**, improve **reporting accuracy**, and minimise **manual intervention** in day-to-day logistics workflows.
