Transport Settings

Transport Settings

Transport Settings is a single-document configuration that defines default values and behavior for the Transport module. It controls routing, telematics, constraints, loading/unloading times, carbon footprint, and automation.

To access Transport Settings, go to:

Home > Transport > Transport Settings

1. Prerequisites

Before configuring Transport Settings, ensure the following are set up:

• Load Type – For capacity and planning
• Vehicle Type – For transport planning
• Transport Capacity Settings – For capacity management

2. How to Configure

1. Go to Transport Settings (single document; no list).
2. Configure each tab as needed.
3. Save the document.
