When creating a shipment users can select between creating a template-based shipment from pre-defined templates and creating a custom shipment (without templates). If a user has access to a project, then he can create a shipment (globally) but within a project (see the first picture below). If the user doesn't have access to any project, then the option to create shipment within a project is not available (see the second picture below). Create a project shipment should only be checked if the user wants the shipment to be created within a project.
Custom Shipment
...
If a user chooses to create a template-based shipment they will need to choose a shipment template in the initial step. The system will read through the template and make note of what information is missing from the template. If an information is missing from the template (e.g. logger ID, shipment name and shipment description, shipping origin and delivery destination), the user will be prompted to fill in these fields. All other fields will be pre-populated with data from the template.
...
If a template does not define contacts (for alerts and delivery notifications), the user will be prompted to select a pre-defined Shipment Contact Template or to manually define the contacts who receive alerts and notifications for the shipment. If the selected shipment template includes pre-defined contacts, this step will automatically be skipped.
Review and Confirm
...
When a user needs to add more than 4 loggers to a shipment, then a batch of shipments will be created. This means that multiple identical shipments with up to 4 loggers per shipment are created. If a user adds e.g 6 loggers in the create shipment form and creates the shipment, two shipments will be created where the first shipment has 4 loggers and the second shipment has 2 loggers. When a batch of shipments is created, each shipment name gets the suffix "- {{no. of shipment}}/{{batch shipment count}}". When more than 4 loggers are added in the create shipment form, an info message appears informing the user of what will be done: "You are adding more than 4 loggers to the shipment. If you add more than 4 loggers to a shipment, multiple identical shipments will be created instead of one shipment with multiple loggers. Each shipment will have up to 4 loggers." After the batch of shipments have been created the user is then routed to the first shipment createdshipments list.
