🚀 New features
See new and updated Transport orders
In the TO grid, there's a new column that shows an flag when the TO is new and/or updated:
New → the user hasn't seen the TO at all
Updated → the TO is updated since the user has last seen the TO
This flag is on user level, which means it will still be there even when a colleague opened the TO.
This feature will be improved in later versions (only show the flag when certain fields are updated and only show the flag when the update is done in the external system aka CT).
Mark new and updated TOs as seen
Users can mark all TOs as seen via the table header or via the 3 dots in the action column.
View the shipper's comment
On the transport order and spot tender grid, and on the detail pages, the carrier can now see the comment that the shipper has left for him.
The shipper can add this comment on the transport order in TOPS Control Tower (version 4.26), where it's called the carrier comment.
View the creation date/time of the TO
Carriers can view the date/time when the TO is created. They can sort, filter and search on this column and they can manage its order in the work view setting.
View the date/time that the TO is last modified
Carriers can view the date/time when the TO is last modified. They can sort, filter and search on this column and they can manage its order in the work view setting.
Add document to a bid
This feature allows carriers to attach documents onto their bid.
In TOPS Control Tower, the shipper can see and download the documents of the carrier.
Note: the document will not yet be transferred to CT yet. This will be added in a later version.
Smart filters
At the top of the spot tender grid, the carrier can easily filter on the spot tenders that are ongoing and/or the one he's participating on.
🌈 Feature improvements
Smart filters are redesigned
The filters on top of the TO grid are redesigned so they fit in better with the design and take less space, so there's more space for the TO grid.
Design improvement when no max or target price is selected
When the shipper didn't setup a max or target price, the carrier will see an improved bidding flyover.
Update multiple milestones
In the flyover to update milestones, you can now update multiple milestones together.
The system will highlight and jump to the required fields (if they're missing).
New milestone status 'cancelled'
The milestone status 'cancelled' is now correctly displayed, and aligned with TOPS Control Tower.
