If you are working with main files instead of sub files in your consol, this automatic assignment will not take place.

Open the relevant files via the search function in the lower section of the mask.

Double click into the field File no. for container assignment to open the new CargoSoft search for files.

The following pre-assigned entries are copied from the file entry and order header data:

  • sector                  → Import

  • B/L type              → HB/L (other B/L types cannot be assigned to a CONSOL)

  • mode                  → seafreight

  • port of loading   → USNYC.

Shipments matching this search are displayed in the lower section of the mask and can be selected with the checkbox.

The columns in the display section can be widened to show their entire contents.

Move your cursor to the right border of column header. The cursor will change into a double arrow.

Click on the border and hold the left mouse key.

Pull the border to the right until you are able to see all its contents.

This way you can also make other fields smaller.

To sort the column contents in ascending or descending order, simply click on the column header:
