Restricting the order notes a user can enter

Users can include notes about each crude order. Your dispatchers can also create notes for these orders in TMWSuite’s Notes window.

By default, when a carrier enters a note in CarrierHub, it has a note type of Carrier and a note level of UNKNOWN. In Settings Manager, you can select multiple note types and note levels that can be used when creating notes for an order in Crude Load Details.

Users cannot view or create notes for trips with the Available status.

Specifying the note types

By default, notes entered in the application have a note type of Carrier. In Settings Manager, you can select multiple note types that can be used when creating notes for an order on the Crude Load Details page.

To specify the types of notes that users can assign to notes, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Menu > Configuration > Settings Manager.
    The Settings Manager page opens.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • To apply the setting change to all roles, verify the Role field is set to [Global Settings].

    • To apply the setting change to a specific role, select it in the Role field.
      A message asks you to verify that you want to change the role. Click OK to continue.

      If the setting has already been changed for at least one role, its text label is bold and italic.

  3. On the Modules tab, in the Module Selection field, select CarrierCrude.

  4. Click these tabs: Core > Notes.
