Shipment Tracking Events
This page is accessed via Shipment Actions. From Shipment Actions, select Shipment Management > Events > View Shipment Tracking Events.
Click Add Shipment Tracking Event to enter a new shipment tracking event.
Note: Using the glog.business.shipment.trackingEvent.disableAddTrackingEventButton property, you can control the appearance of the Add Shipment Tracking Event button on the Shipment Tracking Events page after performing the View Shipment Tracking Events web action on the Buy Shipment Events Manager screen.
The Shipment Tracking Events page displays event details for the shipment you selected. The page displays specific shipment attributes such as reference numbers, source, destination, equipment number, and comments.
Any shipment tracking events that have been previously recorded for the shipment appear in the Shipment Tracking Event History grid. The grid details activities for a shipment. You can enter comments about shipment events in the Event Comments field.
Note: Tracking events must be matched to their related shipments. This is true even when you run the Add Shipment Tracking Event action on a selected shipment. To automatically match the entered tracking event to the shipment you have two options:
1. Set up a parameter set with Auto Match to Object ID(s) set to TRUE and assign it to a domain via domain settings. This will match the shipment to the tracking event based on ID.
2. Configure an automation agent listening for the event TRACKING EVENT - PROCESSING REQUEST and use the Match Shipment agent action configured based on your desired matching method e.g., By Shipment ID, By Matched Equipment, By Saved Query.
