General description of dispatch parameters

• The dispatch system contains specified parameters.
• Parameters are used to configure a cargoOffice to the specified wishes of its owner or users.
• Per customer specified parameters can be installed.
• Every new cargoOffice has a default configuration.
• Some parameters are created for not often used functions. We will document the most used parameters only.

General parameter screen

• 1. Add a new param.
• 2. Column of defined params.
• 3. Customer column. It is possible to define params per customer.
  Note: If there is no customer defined, than this parameter is active for all customers.
• 4. Description of this param.
• 5. Content of this param
• 6. Delete this param.
  Note: It's better to rename a param (as old), than deleting it. Deleting really means that you will loose this functionality. Some parameters though you can not delete, these system parameters will stay vissible inside this list parameters.
• 7. Edit this param.

Modify a parameter

This screen is also used for adding a new param.

• 1. Name of this parameter.
• 2. CustomerID-value of this customer.
  • If empty this param is used for every customer.
  • If filled this param is used for this customer (CustomerID in user details, see: UserLevels).
    Note: You can add as much params for specified customers as desired.
• 3. Name of the system where this param is placed.
  Note: In this case the system name is "mobile" not "dispatch".
• 4. Description of this parameter. In this example "dispatchSettings".
• 5. Content of this param. In this case a lot of values for the dispatch-screen.
• 6. Click "Submit" to add this modification or new param.
