Shipment Group Appointments

On a Workbench Layout, Shipment Group table could be added as a child of Location table with:

  • New public saved query SHIPMENT GROUPS AT LOCATION
  • New public screen set SERVPROV_SHIP_GROUP is created
    • This gives restricted access to columns, actions and Smartlinks for the sake of service providers.
    • If Planner is logged in to schedule shipment group appointments, user can use any screen set related to shipment group as there is no restricted access to the data.

Once the Shipment Group table has been added, when a Location is selected, it populates all corresponding shipments, shipment stops and shipment groups. Shipment groups displayed will be in descending order of start time of the shipment group to show latest ones to the user.
