The Master Data section houses the core data, for example, clients, vessels, etc., accounting parameters, and any other data required to successfully operate the different modules of the system. Master Data is a single source of basic business data used across the VMS in the modules and is shared by multiple users. To enable full usage of the system it is necessary to enter data into this section.

Each master data page follows the same design where you get a list of master data when opening the page. Create a new master data object with the + button above the list and maintain the master data object by opening a drawer when clicking a master data object in the list.

Note! You may enable the feature to make the Company and Business Unit fields depend on each other. If one of the details is set, you may tee linked items that correlate to the former attribute when selecting the second field. Moreover, if you proceed with an element not linked to the former attribute, the first field will be cleared.

For example, there is Company A, which has a link to Business Unit A. When creating an object, after selecting Company A and expanding the Business Unit, you will get a list of options. The list will contain all the Business Units, but Business Unit A will be marked as linked to the selected Company. Next, if linked Business Unit A is chosen, you will end up with Company A and Business unit A. Otherwise, if the selected Business Unit is not linked to the preferred Company, the Company field will get cleared, and you may observe a list of Companies related to the selected Business Unit.

The Event module is designed to facilitate the documentation of various events that occur during a Cargo Port/Port Call. These events can be anything from "Loading Completed" to more "End of Sea Passage" Vessel Anchored" or "Discharging completed".

By using the Event module, users can easily document and keep track of important cargo or port call related events that occur during a Port Call.

Each event in the module is identified by a set of attributes which include:

• Event Description - brief text that reflects the meaning of an event.

• Event Type - can be either Cargo Port or Port Call. The type allows defining when the event takes place.

• Vessel Categories - allows selecting vessel categories to which the created event will be applied.

• Event Code - unique identifier for easier navigation.

• Sort Order - shows the position at which the chosen event will show up among those events that also satisfy the same Event Type and Vessel Category.

• An event can be used in Laytime calculations. If the corresponding checkbox is clicked, the event will show up automatically at the specified position in the Laytime calculation module under a Cargo Port.

When editing a user, it is possible to add a signature. This signature will appear in the invoice printout if user is set as default signee for the company connected to the invoice.

The Default Signee field in the company drawer is used for selecting a user which has a signature that should show as default in invoice printout for the selected company.

When editing a company, it is possible to add a logo. The old logo data is replaced on upload.
