# Suggestions column (Trips table)

> What the Suggestions count in the Dispatch Planner v2 Trips table means, why a trip shows a dash, and how to filter trips with or without Dispatch Assist suggestions.

Part of the [Dispatch Planner column reference](/en/help/loads-trips/dispatch-planner-columns).

The **Suggestions** column shows how many drivers Dispatch Assist suggests for each open trip. Use it to find the trips Dispatch Assist has matches for, and the open trips it could not match.

## At a glance

| | |
| - | - |
| **Table** | Trips |
| **Shown by default** | Yes, on accounts with Dispatch Assist. The column is pinned to the left of the table. |
| **Sort** | Yes |
| **Filter** | Pick one or more values from a list: **Has Suggestions**, **No Suggestions** |
| **Who sees it** | Accounts with Dispatch Assist turned on. The column appears in the main Trips table only, not in the **Trips** list the planner opens for a selected driver. |
| **Edit in the grid** | No |

## What does the number mean?

The number, shown in a purple badge, is how many drivers Dispatch Assist suggested for the trip in its most recent run. Each row in the Drivers/Assets table counts once, so a two-driver team counts as one suggestion.

Select the trip to see the suggested drivers pinned at the top of the **Drivers** list the planner opens for it.

When you sort, a dash counts as zero.

## How does the filter work?

* **Has Suggestions** shows trips with at least one suggestion.
* **No Suggestions** shows **Open** trips that have no suggestions. Trips in other statuses are left out, because they never get a count.
* Picking both is the same as having no filter.

## Why does a trip show a dash?

**The trip is not Open.** Dispatch Assist only counts suggestions for trips in Open status. Covered, Dispatched, and In Transit trips show a dash. A trip in Quoted status also shows a dash, even though the **Status** column shows it as **Open**.

**Dispatch Assist found no driver for the trip.** An Open trip with no suggestions shows a dash rather than 0. See [Dispatch Assist](/en/help/loads-trips/dispatch-assist) for what a driver needs before Dispatch Assist can suggest them.
