Dispatch Details Page
Each dispatch has its own Dispatch Details Page.
Any relevant users, certification roles, documents, assets, actions, reports or forms can be added to an individual dispatch. This information is compiled to generate the read-only Dispatch Order PDF.
The header of the Dispatch Details Page states the Dispatch ID number, title, and status. If approval is pending for the dispatch, it will be indicated here. To the right of the status are icons that serve as action quick links. Any tags associated with the Dispatch are displayed to the right of the icons.
There are ten possible sections that can be utilized on a dispatch. A description of each section is included in the table below.
