Field Definition

TMWSuite ID

The Board User ID, i.e., an identifier that associates the eStat user with one or more eStat boards (views). This ID allows the eStat user to track shipments.

Note: This ID must exist in the dispatch system database before it can be assigned to the eStat user.

Enter the ID, or use the lookup function.

User Description

A free-form field where you can enter information about the user; e.g., the user’s job title, division, business location, shift, etc.

Commodity Prefix (comma separated list)

If your company creates commodity profiles with prefixes to differentiate between the commodities associated with your different customers, you can enter the prefixes for the commodities associated with the user. Make your entries as a comma-separated list.

Note: Commodity prefixes are associated with the user’s profile. They are not tied to the user’s profile or associate companies.

Process Tendered Shipments

The user has the authority to review tendered shipments and set their dispatch status to Available within eStat. The tendered shipment request will not be approved in the dispatch application.

The Customer Companies tab contains these sub tabs.

Profile Companies sub tab

A profile company is a company that the user represents.

  • A user’s profile companies determine what shipments the user can track in the Available, Assigned, and Historical Loads windows.

  • A user must have at least one profile company. If the user has only one profile company, that company is the user’s default company. The default company is the user’s Order By company.

  • A user can have multiple profile companies. If so, one of them must be designated as the user’s default company. The default company is the user’s Order By company.

The tab has two sections that allow you to search for and link profile companies with the user.
