The board has two main areas, unallocated voyages on the left, and allocated voyages on the right.
Each element in the board represents either a voyage with cargoes, or a vessel open position.
We call the yellow card the vessel open position card. It displays the start of the schedule of each ship that is displayed in the board. You can click on the card to open the vessel open position drawer. For any scenario that is not the MASTER, you can edit the port and date of the vessel open position. This changes where your ship starts in the scenario and reschedules the consecutive voyages.

On the left side of the voyage card all the arrival times and port names are listed. The exception is the ballast port which has the voyage start date listed. The total cargo gross weight on board after the port call is listed under the port name.
In the open positions board you can drag and drop voyages to allocate or unallocate them, move them between vessels and change their order on a vessel.
Click any voyage card to open the voyage drawer and access additional information and actions.
You have a large variety of filters available in the board. Filtering for commitments (left-most column) and allocated voyages (rest of the columns) is separate. Filtering is persisted between the cargo management board and the open positions board.
You can select the number of columns to show in the board either by moving the slider or by typing in a number.
The column grouping decides which column a card should go into. The default setting is to group by vessel, but you can also select load area or discharge area. The area groupings depends on the selected area report under account preferences.
The row grouping setting decides how the cards are grouped vertically. By default there is no row grouping. You can also select to group by month or week.
At the top right of the board, click on Settingsto open the settings window.
The cargo management board displays all allocated voyages and the cargoes allocated to them. For details on the vessel open positions, voyage cards and board settings see Open Positions Board.
On the right side of a voyage card, the cargoes allocated to the voyage are showing. Each cargo has the load port and discharge port, charterer and cargo gross weight displayed. Cargos can be moved by dragging and dropping between voyages of the same trade.
In the cargo management board, you can drag and drop cargoes between voyages. When moving a cargo, you can either move it 100% or split it and just move a part of it.
Clicking on a cargo opens the cargo drawer and gives access to additional information and actions.
The open positions board gives an overview of the allocation of voyages that need to be scheduled. It shows commitments in the leftmost column and all allocated voyages in the other columns. There are several settings to refine the view located in the top right.

On the voyage card a lot of information is shown. The lefthand side of the graphic depicts the open position, the end of the previous voyage. The righthand side of the graphic depicts information on the voyage itself.
The length of the coloured bar indicates the ballast proportion of the voyage. The bar is blue, if the lay date in the first port is reached and red, if arrival is late.
