Reliant Dispatch: Connection — version 1.0.0
Copyright © 2014–2026 Reliant Dispatch, LLC. All rights reserved.

Installation in desktop Chrome:
1. Extract Reliant_Dispatch_Connection_Chrome.zip.
2. Open chrome://extensions and enable Developer mode.
3. Select Load unpacked and select the extracted Reliant_Dispatch_Connection_Chrome folder containing manifest.json.
4. Pin Reliant Dispatch: Connection in Chrome's Extensions menu.

Import:
1. Sign in to an active carrier account at https://staging.reliantdispatch.com.
2. Open the complete text-based dispatch sheet on Central Dispatch or another HTTPS load-board page.
3. Select Connection's toolbar button once, or press Alt+Shift+I.
4. Reliant Dispatch opens the review. Verify the reference, all vehicles, pickup and delivery locations, dates, and rate. Correct missing fields and save the selected loads as drafts.
5. Assign a confirmed draft through your company's e-BOL workspace. Its authorized Android and iOS driver can then access the shared load record.

Supported sheets display recognizable load/order references, pickup, delivery, and vehicle details. Extraction supports labeled fields, address sections, and headed vehicle/load tables. Layouts vary. This release verifies synthetic sheet layouts; it does not certify private account-specific Central Dispatch or other load-board layouts. Compare every imported field with the source before saving.

Chrome's PDF viewer blocks page capture. Download the dispatch-sheet PDF and upload it at https://staging.reliantdispatch.com/loads. CSV and Excel uploads remain available. File imports allow 2 MB; page capture allows approximately 255 KB of displayed text. Reviews support up to 20 loads and 100 vehicle rows.

Connection uses Manifest V3 with activeTab, scripting, storage, and alarms. It reads a source page only when you invoke its action. Its receiver runs only on the staging carrier Connection page. It requests no cookies, browsing history, persistent source-site host access, or load-board credentials. It excludes scripts, hidden elements, form values, navigation, and embedded frames. It transfers the sheet text and source domain, without the source URL or query string. It includes no remote code or analytics.

The extension retains a pending sheet in session memory for up to ten minutes. Successful transfer, expiry, destination-tab closure, extension reload, or browser restart clears it. Reliant Dispatch requires the current carrier session and CSRF token, retains a private captured-text snapshot, and encrypts the review payload. Confirmation creates company-owned draft loads and preserves duplicate-reference protection.

This package supports local staging installation. Chrome Web Store publication and production activation require a separate release. Connection does not invoke another load board's private API or modify its dispatches.
