INTRODUCTION

Customisation toggles are available in the Planning board that will allow more selectivity for what is displayed in the planning board. This helps improve overall granularity of what is possible to display.

Key features include:

  • 3 Customised View options (A+/A-, Orders & Trips)

  • Improved visualisation consistency for all information

  • Additional fields for trips and stops

SUMMARY OF VIEWS

3 customisable views available.

  • A+ Expanded View: Shows all the enabled toggles in the selected view (Timeline / Table)

  • A- Condensed View: Summary view showing reduced information.

    • Select which toggles to show separate to what is displayed in the A+ view.

  • Trip / Order Detail Page:

    • Modify toggles in the Customise views, independent to what is selected to show in the Planning board.

    • Simplify the view and eliminate duplication of data that is already available in those screens.

Display Custom Fields by Cargo

  • Custom fields are now displayed against each consignment (i.e. per trip) when the consignments are split into separate trips.

  • This gives planners the visibility needed to group consignments with compatible attributes and avoid shipping conflicts.

  1. Custom fields tied to Cargo details can now appear in the Trip Planning view.

  2. Use the “Customise” button to add these cargo-level custom fields as table columns.

  3. Use the “Plan onto separate trip” option to split out individual consignments into their own trip rows.

  4. Once split, custom fields display per consignment, so you see the correct values in each trip row.

Use Cases

  • Suppose you have a custom field “Temperature Requirement” on the cargo level.

  • An order is submitted containing three consignments:

    • Consignment A: requires 2-4 °C

    • Consignment B: requires –20 °C

    • Consignment C: ambient

  • After splitting into separate trips, you’ll see those different temperature values directly in the planning table, enabling you to group compatible consignments together (e.g. A with C, but B separate).

📚 This functionality is already in place for default fields, like weight for instance.

Limitations & Notes

  • This feature applies only in the Trip Planning view — not in other order or consignment views.

  • Only custom fields defined at the Cargo/Consignment level will show using this method (fields at the order level will still operate as before).

  • If a consignment hasn’t been split into its own trip, it may continue showing a default or blank value until the split occurs.

Customer Impact

  • Greater transparency into consignment-level attributes during planning.

  • Reduced risk of assignment errors, by clearly highlighting which consignments can or cannot ride together.

  • Improved planning efficiency, saving time and reducing the trial & error in fleet assignment.
