Container Inspection form

The Container Inspection form displays the selected container and chassis ID, the tare and safe weights, and some advised information, such as the ISO code and freight kind.

The Container Inspection form enables you to edit the provided information and enter additional information for a container and chassis during a gate inspection.

Depending on your form configuration and available flex fields, you can enter additional data in the Flex Fields area for the selected container.

If you want to use flex fields, they must first be configured in N4. N4 Mobile supports the unitFlexString01 - unitFlexString15 flex fields. For more information, see Use flex fields in Navis N4: Customization Administrator Guide. Once configured, you can then configure the N4 Mobile forms to display only the flex fields you want.

If you configure flex fields for use in the Gate Inspection program, make sure to include the ApplyInspectionUnitFlexFields (on page 1) business task at the gate stage where the gate inspection data is applied to the gate transaction.

You can also access additional forms to enter detailed inspection information, such as damages, reefer temperatures, oversize dimensions, hazardous placards, bundled equipment numbers, additional seal numbers, and more.

If you add more than ten damages for an inspection, only ten will display after saving. These details are populated in N4 Mobile from the Inspection record in N4 (Operations Gate Inspections Inspection record), not from the Unit. If the ApplyInspectionOOG (on page 1) business task is applied to the Gate Transaction type, any oversize dimension details saved in the N4 Mobile Gate Inspection program overwrite the details in the Inspection form.

To record a container inspection:

Specify any optional information for the container, such as the truck license, ISO code, or line operator.

Depending on the screen configuration, you may not see all of the optional fields or the field names may be different.

Optionally, in the ID field in the Chassis area, enter the chassis ID.

This field displays the chassis ID entered in the Gate Inspection program, if specified.

To record additional inspection data in other forms, you can do one of the following:

Click on the button associated with the form.
In the shortcut field enter the associated shortcut and click .
In some browsers, such as Internet Explorer, press the Alt key combination associated with the form, or if mapped to a function key in a handheld, the associated function key. For more information, see Typographical conventions in N4 Mobile Help in the online help or on the Kaleris Community Portal.

For more information, see the following table.

Once you have finished the inspection, click to save the inspection record.

If the container does not meet the check digit or any other requirements of N4, the Gate Inspection program generates an error. To bypass the check digit error, click .
