Integrating with the Trimble Transportation Imaging service

To set up Trimble Web Products to work with the Trimble Transportation Imaging service, you must identify it as your imaging service vendor and provide connection information.

If you are using the Trimble Imaging service with the Customer module, you can also identify user names and passwords for specific company types (shipper, consignee, Bill To, order-by). Users with this information can log into your imaging server and view a set or sets of documents that you specify. These user names and passwords must be set up on the imaging server and configured for the role(s) and document type(s) to which the user will have access.

To configure your system to work with Trimble Transportation Imaging, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Menu > Configuration > Imaging Settings.
    The Imaging Settings page appears.

  2. In the leftmost drop-down list, select the module for which you want to define imaging settings. You can select Carrier or Customer.

  3. In the rightmost drop-down list, select TMWImaging.

    The Imaging Settings page refreshes to show the fields for the Trimble Transportation imaging service.
