How to use the Dashboard feature

The Dashboard is the first screen you see when you open a file. It reads all the data in your uploaded file and shows a summary. You can use it to check and filter the cargo on board the vessel quickly.

Before you start: upload your file. It must pass the file validation.

Parts of the Dashboard

The Dashboard has four parts.

Header Details

The top section (1 in the picture) shows the header details of the file. To change this information, open Validation in the Function Menu and click Header Details. For more help, see How to navigate the header details.

Container count and Container TEU

Below the header details, two counts show the number of containers (Container count) and the TEU count (Container TEU). TEU means twenty-foot equivalent unit. The base settings are:

• 1 TEU for a 20 foot container.
• 2 TEU for a 40 foot container.
• 2.5 TEU for a 45 foot container.

To change the calculation, use your settings. For more help, see How to navigate the TEU calculation option.

Anomalies

If the file has data anomalies, a red Anomalies detected! button shows next to the counts. Use it to see quickly which data needs your attention. For more help, see How to navigate the anomalies option.
