Function Menu options

The options below are in the Function Menu on the left side of the screen. Click a title to open a guide with more information.

Find Multiple

Find several containers at the same time. Paste a list of container IDs. The delimiter (the character between the IDs) can be any character.

Advanced Search

Build advanced queries to filter the BAPLIE data. You can save queries to your profile and load them again when you view BAPLIE files later.

View Records

Show the details of the selected records. Select at least one record before you click this option. The View Records form shows only the attributes that are visible in the table.

Add Record

Add a new record to the BAPLIE file.

Edit Records

Edit one or more records in the BAPLIE file.

Delete Records

Delete one or more records from the BAPLIE file.

Container Numbers

Open a window with a list of container IDs. The list is based on the current filters or on the selected containers. You can highlight the IDs and copy them.

Weight To VGM

Copy the non-verified weight of each container into the Verified Gross Mass (VGM) column. By default, this is done only for container records where Status is Full.

A facility setting changes this. If Copy Weight to VGM includes empty containers is set to Yes, empty containers are copied too. A facility administrator changes the setting in Manage Facility, on the Facility Settings tab.

POL To Original POL

Copy the Port of Load value into the Original Port of Load field.

Click POL To Original POL in the Function Menu. For every container in the file, the Port of Load value is copied into the Original Port of Load field. The Port of Load value stays as it is. If a container already has an Original Port of Load, the new value replaces it. If your user setting for file backups is on, the system also saves a copy of the file that ends with _original. A message tells you when the copy is complete.

Clear Filter

Remove all filters that are applied to the data.

Hide Filter Bar or Show Filter Bar

Hide the filter bar at the top of the table, or show it again.

Show/Hide Columns

Choose which columns are visible in the BAPLIE data table.

Default Layout

Go back to the default layout. This removes all filters and your column changes.

Export to Excel

Export the data to Excel. If a filter is applied, only the filtered data is exported. If you changed the visible columns, only the visible columns are exported.

Note: Gold members can use the editing options on this page (Add Record, Edit Records, Delete Records and Weight To VGM).
