Container master

The Container Master page lists every container TrakIT knows, with its type code, length and default grade, whether it is in a yard and what its last move was. Select a container to see its yard moves. From here you can correct a container’s type code, set its default grade and block it.

To open it, select Yards > Container Master. Other yard pages open it on one container: for example, the container number in Container details on the yard inventory.

You cannot add containers on this page. TrakIT adds a container the first time it is entered: when a work order is created with its number and type, when it is added during a gate-in or rail move in the Device app, when an import of yard moves or yard positions brings it in, or, on some installations, when an interface sends it.

Find a container

Select Filters to open the filter panel, if it is closed.
Enter or select the filters you need.
Select Search.

Reset clears the filters. TrakIT remembers your filters, except Blocked, for the next time you open the page.

Filter	Finds
Container Number	Any part of the container number.
Type	The exact type code, for example `22G1`.
ISO Standard	ISO Only or Non-ISO Only: whether the number was a valid ISO container number when TrakIT added it, as shown by the tick in the Number column.
Verified	Verified Only or Unverified Only: whether the type code has been verified.
Default Grade	Grade A, Grade B or Grade C.
In Yard	Only the containers that are in a yard.
Blocked	Only the blocked containers.

When another page opens this one on a container, Container Number holds that number. Reset clears it.

The list

Found gives the number of containers that match. The list shows 20 per page, in order of container number. Blocked containers are shown in red.

Column	Shows
Number	The container number, with a green tick (ISO Container) if it was a valid ISO number when TrakIT added it (11 characters ending in 7 digits, with the right check digit), or a red mark (Not ISO) if not.
Type Code	The four-character type code, with a green tick (Verified) if it has been verified, or a red mark (Not Verified).
Length	The length in feet, from the type code. Units without a container size, such as trucks or break-bulk, show 0’.
Grade	The container’s default grade, A, B or C.
Last Move	The kind of the container’s latest move that has been carried out, such as Gate In or In Stack, and how long ago.
Empty	Y if the container was empty on that move.
Yard	Y if the container is in a yard.
Pencil icon	Opens Container Details, if your role can update containers.

Container moves

Select a container’s row to list its moves under Container Moves, next to the list. The list shows the moves that have been carried out in the yards of the companies you have access to (in every yard for system administrators), the newest first; cancelled moves are shown in red. It shows the 20 most recent moves: to see all of them, select its Export.

Column	Shows
ID	The move. Select it to open the yard move in a new tab.
Executed	When the move was carried out, in your time zone.
Move Type	The kind of move, such as Gate In, In Stack or Stripping.
Yard, Zone	Where the move was made.
F/E	Full or Empty.
Vehicle	The vehicle number.
Position	The stack position, for example B3-R1-T2, or On Truck when the move had no stack position. A red map pin means the move’s location was recorded: see Move location.
Asset	The asset used for the move, such as a yard truck.
Job reference	The job reference of the work order linked to the move. The label is set up for your company, for example T/D.
WO	The ID of the work order linked to the move.
Remarks	The remarks recorded with the move.

Move location

Select the red map pin next to a position to see on a map where the move was recorded. The map’s title gives the move ID. Select Close to close it.

Change a container

Select the pencil icon on the container’s row.
In Container Details, change the fields you need.
Select Save.

Field	What to enter
Number	The container number. It cannot be changed.
Type Code	The four-character type code, one of the container types TrakIT knows. Required. Select the magnifying glass to build it in Select Type: choose the Type, then for a container its Length, Height and Sub-Type, check the Code and select Save.
Default Grade	Grade A, Grade B or Grade C, or — for none.
Block Container	A remark that blocks the container. Leave it empty for a container that is not blocked. See Block a container.
Type Verified	Whether the type code has been verified. Only system administrators see this switch. When anyone else changes the type code, the container is no longer verified.

Select Cancel or Close to leave without saving.

Message	What to do
Type missing	Enter the type code.
Type Code is not valid	Enter a type code of four characters, or build it with the magnifying glass.

System administrators can delete a container with the cross (Delete Container) at the bottom left of Container Details. The container is deleted at once, without a confirmation. A container that has yard moves or a stack position cannot be deleted: TrakIT says Cannot delete container in use.

Block a container

Enter the reason in Block Container, for example Damaged, awaiting survey, and select Save. While a container is blocked:

it is shown in red in the list, and found with the Blocked filter;
the Device app does not let you choose it for a gate-in, a gate-out, a rail move or a cargo operation: it says The selected container is blocked: followed by your reason.

To unblock the container, clear Block Container and select Save.

Export

Export above the list downloads the containers that match the filters, on all pages, as an Excel file: ID, Number, ISO?, Type Code, Verified, Length and the date of the Last Move.
Export above Container Moves downloads all the carried-out moves of the selected container that the list can show, cancelled ones included.
