Introduction
This document provides a quick guide on how to create a Shipment Template in the One Network System. A user can pre-define information on the New Shipment screen and then save this information as a Shipment Template. This Shipment Template can then be used at any time when creating a new shipment, and the information stored on the template will pre-populate on the New Shipment screen so the user does not have to manually enter it each time.
Creating a Shipment Template

- Select Transportation -> New Shipment to open the New Shipment page.
- The New Shipment page will be displayed with the Header tab selected. Enter the following information on the Header tab:
