Create a new mask set

The control of all masks starts with the creation of a new mask set.

In the following window it is necessary to give the mask set a name that is as meaningful as possible and to decide on the sector and mode (mandatory fields!).

  • This information can no longer be changed after it has been created!

AWB type

(= order type)

The selection in the drop-down menu varies depending on the mode.

The field is not a required field in ocean freight and air freight.


If the mode

  • Oceanfreight is selected - there are the B/L types to choose from,

  • Air freight is selected - there are the AWB types to choose from,

  • Road is selected - this is a required field. Here it is necessary to select Shipment or Tour.

  • If this field is left empty, the type applies to all order masks of a range.


All available order types, if field Sector remains empty:

 

The following mask set was successfully created:

When creating a new mask set, all masks are automatically preset with the default mask.

The sorting of the tabs is for information only.

View, activate, edit tabs

The first step of the mask design is to decide which tabs should be used for the order.

  • However, not all tabs can be changed or deactivated!

  • Non-editable tabs are displayed with gray checkboxes.

  • The description of the goods is not editable.

 

Step 1 includes the adjustment of the order tabs, except in the Airfreight - Export sector - the AWB data.

The following tabs can be modified/deactivated:

  • Header data

  • Transport tab

  • Addresses

  • Statistics

  • Additional fields tab/Company specific tab

 

If you remove the check mark under visible behind a tab, it will not appear in the order.

  • The tab is also no longer displayed in Edit mode.

This information is described in more detail on the tab control page in the mask set creation.

Selection of the mask per tab

Then one mask is selected per tab.

When you create a new mask set, the selection field will initially contain Standard.

However, there are - if available and already created before - further masks to choose from, which can be selected from a list via the search function image2022-2-1_17-10-3-20240327-071622.png .

In the Mask/Mask set column, select the magnifying glass icon. The Select mask window opens.

  • Thus it is possible, for example, to use 5 addresses for the address tab instead of 4, since 9 order addresses are available.

  • However, the additional address can also be included in the header data tab.

At this point it is decided which individual masks are to be combined into a mask set.

Sample from the mask selection

Create mask set for the Services tab

To create a mask set for the Services tab, select the entry [Services] from the Mask type dropdown.

You only need to assign a name for a Services mask.

  The following masks can be edited or hidden:

  • Services Maindata

  • Services Addresses

  • Descriptin of goods
