   * 1. Node name.<br>
     _Note:_ This does not have to be a driver. It can also be a vehicle, a trailer or a mobile data terminal.
   * 2. Decide if this node is a *Planning node*.<br>
     Planning nodes are displayed on the left side of the screen, other nodes do not show but can be assigned to a trip (like a truck to a driver or a trailer to a truck).
   * 3. Here you can link a node with a *group*.<br>
     To create [[NodesGroups][groups]] go to: Backoffice -> Dispatch -> Driver groups.
   * 4. The *phone* or *email* address of the node (if applicable).<br>
      * This is used for messaging.
      * For email: fill in an emailaddress, i.e. me@mycompany.com
      * For phones: Fill in the international number, i.e. +31620812746. 
   * 5. *URL pin*: enter a unique (secret) number here that only the driver may know.<br>
      * This number can be used from *mobile browsers* (browsers on a PDA or a smartphone or browsers used in on-board computers) for easy access to *jobs* and *statuses*.
      * Drivers can this URL to get access to their assigned jops::
      * *rutgers.cargooffice.com/mobile?1234* (where 1234 is the URL pin and rutgers is the company code)
      * *rutgers.cargof.com/mobile?1234* (shorter version)
   * 6. *Show messages*: enter 'Yes' if you allow customers to see the messages between you and your drivers, normally this would be set to 'No'.
   * 7. *Description*: some description of the node, e.g. the name of the driver, a license plate number or a trailer number.
   * 8. *Node CN*: The carrier number of the node. Normally: 0.<br>
        This is only used when the node is owned by an other carrier which is also a Cargooffice user.
