Open Positions Board

Last updated
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 start dates and times are listed, but the ballast port has the start date of the voyage itself listed. One the right side, we have port names and the total cargo gross weight on board after each port call listed. Also, the timeline will display the additional ports row with the indication of how many more ports are "hidden" in the timeline. See under Settings to learn how to choose the number of ports to be displayed.
In the Open Positions Board you can drag and drop voyages to allocate or unallocate them, as well as moving them between different vessels and change their order on a vessel.
Click any voyage card to open the voyage drawer and access additional information and actions.
There are 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 when navigating between the boards as well as when navigating to different menu items.
You can select the number of columns to show in the board either by moving the slider or by typing in a number.
You can select the number of ports to show in the port call timeline either by moving the slider or by typing in a number. The ballast, first loading and last discharging ports are always visible.
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.
