Bay Diary Configuration

The Bay Diary system allows configuration of the basic settings itself. This is achieved by clicking the Settings (Cog) icon from the Diary (Front) view

The opening hours for all bays of all types is configured here. This also controls the number of bays available in the system of all types.

General Settings

Settings:

• No of Receiving Bays - the total number of bays displayed in the Bay Details section of this page, and the bays available to book against in the main Diary screen.
• Daily Start Time - the start available time per day for a bay. Bookings may only be made between this and the End Time below.
• Daily End Time - the end available time per day for a bay.
• Refresh Mins - the number of minutes after which the Diary screen will refresh to show any bookings made by other users.
• View Assigned Details - a drop-down list controlling whether the booking details per bay are shown under the bay in the Bay Slot table on the Front screen.
• Break Start Time - A start time during the day when all slots are unavailable.
• Break End Time - An end time during the day when all slots are unavailable.

Changes will be saved using the Save Changes button provided. If the changes are not to be saved, click the Exit button instead. Note: This will discard ALL changes on the settings screen.

Bay Details

The number of bays are created as specified in the General Settings and are displayed in a paginated table in pages of 10. If there are more than 10 bays, the <<< and >>> buttons provided may be used to page through the bays.

Each bay has:

• Bay Num - Generated sequence
• Bay Description - the displayed bay description

Bay Description is displayed in the main Bay Diary screen and is modifiable in the text box against each line.

Changes will be saved when saving the general settings, using the Save Changes button provided.

Warning: This is being modified to align with actual delivery bay locations in C-WMS.

Container Types

These are the container types available to the system when creating a booking. These are shown in a drop-down list on the Booking ((Detail) view.

Each container type has:

• Container Type – the type
• Container Description – the description of the type

New container types may be added using the Add button provided. A panel will be shown:

The Container Type and Description may be entered here, and saved with the provided Save button.

Existing container types may be deleted using the Delete button against each line.

Note: This is being modified to align with full container types used in C-WMS and in the Container Yard system.

Field Displays

This section controls what elements are displayed in the Diary screen, when:

• Showing a list of bookings on a bay in the Diary screen
• Making a new booking or Showing or editing an existing booking on the Booking screen.

The available fields are shown in a list on the screen.

Each field is displayed in a row:

• Label - the label of the field. This is currently non-maintainable and is displayed on the Booking Detail screen.
• Front View - a check box controlling whether this field is to be displayed on the Diary screen

Note: If fields are selected for the front view, it is recommended that the widths of the fields selected are less than or equal to 100% (the full available width of the line). Creating cumulative widths greater than 100% will display unpredictably.
