Active Shipments
After adding contacts you are able to track shipments you assigned to them or their companies.
Below is an example page.
The companies and their logo's are at the top of the page, followed by the shipments you assigned to them as well as the current status of those shipments.
- A red line around a logo means your credentials are not longer valid, shipments of this company are not longer displayed.
- You can add your credentials again, see below.
Credentials
You can click on a logo to switch to the web page of that company. Probably the place where you can enter new orders and track your shipments.
You almost certainly need a login there to see your shipments.
If you want these shipments to show up on this page, below the logos, you need to add that
login to you credentials, as follows:
- Go back to the Contacts page, click on the small menu bar (three bars) next to your contact and choose Info+login, example:
The
details of the contacts company appear on screen.
- Enter the login and password you received from that contact. Example:
- If your credentials are correct then you will see all your shipments of this contact on your Active Shipments page.
