Adding DX Express Services - DX Express/ DX Freight One Man
Note: The following steps apply to DX Express and DX Freight One Man connections, customers using DX Despatch Manager won't need to follow these steps as the services are preloaded.

Go to Shipping Management.
Click Couriers.
Next, click on Show All Couriers.
Find the DX Express courier.
Click Edit.
Turn Active to ON.
Finally, click Update.
Run a test shipment for this DX service to reveal the custom services.
Once done please follow Step 4: Mapping the services.
If you cannot find the DX Express courier, please complete the following:
Adding a courier

Click Courier Service Code Mappings then Add New Courier Service Code Mapping.

Then click Map.
Run a test shipment for this DX service to reveal the custom services:
Do not be alarmed by the error message: "Specified Service Not Found: BLANK-CODE Services found: ...", this is just a notification that the Courier service codes for the listed custom services have been added to Mintsoft.
Service names are separated by the client's name so "xxxxxx xxxxxx Leave Safe, 24 Hour, Leave Safe DX2H, 08:00 - 18:00 xxxxxx xxxxxx Leave Safe, 24 Hour, Leave Safe DX2H, AM Pre 1" becomes:
xxxxxx xxxxxx Leave Safe, 24 Hour, Leave Safe DX2H, 08:00 - 18:00
xxxxxx xxxxxx Leave Safe, 24 Hour, Leave Safe DX2H, AM Pre 1
Mapping the services
Codes will automatically be written to your database. These can then be mapped to the service:
Go to Shipping Management then Extras.
Click Courier Service Codes.
You will see the new DX codes that were added.
Choose one of the entries in the list for this example I will use -
xxxxxx xxxxxx Signature Box, 24 Hour, Signature, 08:00 - 18:00.
Go to Shipping Management then Couriers.
Click DX then add a new service taking off your company name but using the main part of the code -
xxxxxx xxxxxx Signature Box, 24 Hour, Signature, 08:00 - 18:00.
Go to Shipping Management then Extras.
Click Courier Service Code Mappings then Add New Courier Service Code Mapping.
Choose CourierServiceId as the service you just added.
Choose CourierServiceCodeId as the code that matches that service.
