Status History tab
The Status History tab enables you to show / hide information related to the status history attached to a freight bill.
Select the Display Status History Section option to add the Status History section to the TM4Web Bill Details page.
In TruckMate, the POSITION status is generated every time a user or mobile-comm update applies the same status as the current status. To avoid displaying these status records, you can select the Mask POSITION Changes option, which if selected, will have TM4Web replace the POSITION phrase with the actual status code.
For example, if the current freight bill status is ENROUTE and the status gets updated with the same ENROUTE status, it will add POSITION as the status code in the newly added record in the status history. If you keep repeating the process by updating the status with ENROUTE, an additional POSITION record will be added for each status update, while keeping the current status as ENROUTE (CURRENT_STATUS = ENROUTE). The following table is a representation of the previous example.
Mask POSITION Changes unselected | Mask POSITION Changes selected |
---|---|
ENROUTE 3:20 PM |
ENROUTE 3:20 PM |
POSITION 3:30 PM |
ENROUTE 3:30 PM |
POSITION 4:00 PM |
ENROUTE 4:00 PM |
POSITION 4:30 PM |
ENROUTE 4:30 PM |
The POSITION phrase is only used if a repetition of the current status is used in updating the status, if the new status is not a repetition of the current one, the actual new status code will be recorded. |

Imaging tab
The Imaging tab allows you configure which Imaging document types will be available to your TM4Web users.

For additional information on how to do this, see the Codes Maintenance documentation.

Document Types | Description |
---|---|
Imaging Vendor |
Displays the Imagaing Vendor as setup on the Global Configuration > Base Setup > Imaging tab. |
Label |
Allows you to change the label displayed for each document type. Note: This functionality isolates the Document Type set in TruckMate from the label used for the same document in TM4Web. Which means that if for any reason there is a need to change the label on a document type in TM4Web, it can easily be done through Web Admin, without the need to change the type name itself in TruckMate > Codes Maintenance, an action which might cause problems in other TruckMate applications using the same document type. |
Access Level |
This option allows configuring if the Document Type will be displayed based on whether the freight bills Bill To / Rate To is one of the clients within the users Access Group.
|
Add/Remove record(s) |
Use the TruckMate Navigation Bar to Add/Remove records from the Document Types grid. |

The following fields (Document Type, TruckMate Table, TruckMate Field, Imaging Field, and Imaging View) are read-only fields and display information as setup in the Imaging tab of the Codes Maintenance program. |
External Viewing
The External Viewing tab allows you to set what information will be displayed on the TM4Web Bill Details page for external users.
Never show billing details or other sensitive information for any externally viewable items. Be very careful when configuring what is enabled for external viewing since no security authentication is required. Billing details should only be enabled for an internal trace. |
The TM4Web External Trace feature allows users to trace for and view bills, with no need to login to TM4Web. Information under the External Viewing tab contains all of the same sections as the Standard Viewing tab, except under the Billing tab.
As the options on the Standard Billing tab are based off of the logged in user’s Access Group and external users are not connected to an Access Group, billing information cannot be filtered out in that way.
For details, see Standard Viewing.
