Open Positions Board
Board layout
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.
Vessel Open Position Card
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.

Port call timeline and cargos
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.
Actions
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.
Filtering
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.
Settings
Number of columns
You can select the number of columns to show in the board either by moving the slider or by typing in a number.
Column grouping
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.
Row grouping
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.
