Terminal Setup
The Terminal Setup window is accessed from the 'Terminal Setup' button on the Terminal Select window (accessed via the 'View' Menu).
All Status Codes entered onto this form will be saved to the Terminal record in the TERMINAL Table, which can also be altered via the Terminal Maintenance program. When you use this window to edit a Terminal in the future, all Status Codes are defaulted from those entered in Terminal Maintenance.
Terminal Name
Enter a name for this Terminal.
Terminal Zone
Select the Zone Code that corresponds with this terminal from the drop down list box. Only Zone Codes that have been flagged as Terminal zones in the Codes Maintenance program are available for selection.
Number of Doors
Enter the number of doors that this terminal has. This number will determine the number of doors that display on the right side of the Freight Bill Grid. You can now have up to '400' doors entered in this field.
| If you enter a value greater than 400 in this field, a Warning Message will display, prompting you to reduce the number you have entered. |
Loading Status
As soon as a trailer is dragged to a door, a trip is created. While the trip is visible in the Dispatch program, is cannot be activated until it is released in the CrossDock program using the Loaded to Go menu option. Until that time, the status code selected here will be displayed as the trip’s current status in the Dispatch program. Only status codes of the Assignment code behavior (as configured in the Codes Maintenance program) will be available for selection here.
Loaded to Go Status
When the Loaded to Go status is assigned to the trip (using the Loaded to Go menu option in the Door Options menu), the status code selected here will be assigned to the trip. Only status codes of the Assignment code behavior (as configured in the Codes Maintenance program) will be available for selection here.
New Trip Status
When the User right-clicks the Door/Trips List section in the CrossDock program and selects the 'New Trip at This Door' option, this is the Status Code that will be given to the new Trip. Only status codes of the Assignment code behavior (as configured in the Codes Maintenance program) will be available for selection here.
Unloading Status
When the user right-clicks a Trip on the Door/Trips List section and chooses the 'Start Unloading' option, this is the Status Code that will be applied to the Trip. Only status codes of the Assignment code behavior (as configured in the Codes Maintenance program) will be available for selection here.
Dock Status
When a user enters the Door/Trip List drill-down screen and uses the 'Unload' optiosn to remove Freight from a Trailer, the Freight Bills will be given the Status Code that is entered in the 'Dock Status' field.
Base Lane / Base Route (City Dispatch)
Use this field to select a specific Lane that should apply, by default, to this terminal. See Traffic Lanes above for more information.
When accessing the Terminal Setup window from the City Dispatch program, this field will be labelled 'Base Route,' and will allow you to set a default Route for the selected Terminal. These Route codes are configured in the CrossDock Traffic Lanes program. After selecting a 'Base Lane / Route', all other entries below the Base in the Lane / Route tree will be added to the CrossDock (or City Dispatch) program’s Lane/Route Tree.
| If this field is 'NULL' (no value) the entire Lane / Route Tree will be displayed. |
Route Designations
This section allows the user to create Route Designations for the selected terminal. A rout designation is used as a planning tool to group freight bills. Assigning the same route designation to number of freight bills puts those freight bills in one group. The user can define multiple route designations for each terminal. When the user is working on a terminal that has multiple route designations defined, the user will be able to select which route designation to assign to the freight bill via a drop down list available in 'Route Designation' field, in the freight bill grid. This section includes only one column, 'Route Designation'. You can use the navigation bar at the bottom of the section to manipulate data in the section (add, edit, delete and navigate through available records).
Door Summary
The Door Summary window shows a list of all Freight Bills assigned to the trip at this door, as well as all assigned trailers. The Freight Bill Grid in the Door Summary form shows the same information as the Freight Bill Grid on the main CrossDock screen, and has the same Grid sort capability.
