You can use the following form fields to design the forms for data entry at the appointment gate stages. In addition to the fields listed below, you can add the available flex fields for the appointment gate stage.
Displays a lookup field of agent IDs for a user to select the agent in an appointment form.
To save the selected agent ID for a pre-advised unit when creating an appointment, include the CreateContainerPreadviseVisit (on page 1) business task in the Appt Tran Type form.
Displays a lookup field of agent IDs for a user to select a second agent in an appointment form.
To save the selected agent ID for a pre-advised unit when creating an appointment, include the CreateContainerPreadviseVisit (on page 1) business task in the Appt Tran Type form.
Displays a drop-down list of equipment order (Booking, EDO) items, specified for an equipment order, in an appointment form.
N4 automatically fills in the equipment order items specified on an equipment order (Booking, EDO) when a user selects the Booking/Order or enters a Booking Number.
Displays a text field for the user to enter an order number (booking, EDO, ERO, or rail order) in an appointment form. Unlike the Booking/Order lookup field, the Booking Number field does not display a list of values while the user enters the order number.
If a line operator allows duplicate booking numbers and multiple orders with the same number are present, the Booking Number field does not display a list of values with the line operator or Vessel Visit to help you identify the correct order. Therefore, Navis recommends that the user selects the Line Operator in the Basics area of the appointment form before entering a Booking Number.
If the following fields are included in the appointment form, the existing data is automatically filled in when a user enters an order number in the Booking Number field:
Booking Item
Vessel Visit
Discharge Port
Load Port
Second Discharge Port
Optional Port of Discharge
Origin
Destination
Shipper
Consignee
Displays a lookup field of equipment order (Booking, EDO, or ERO) numbers in an appointment form.
The Booking/Order field list of values displays only the equipment orders for the operating line entered in the Line Operator field on the appointment form. For an EDO, the Booking/Order lookup field displays the Line ID and Facility name in parenthesis after the order number to help you identify the correct facility the EDO is created for. If the EDO is created at the Complex scope level, the list does not display facility name in the parenthesis.
If the following fields are included in the appointment form, N4 automatically fills existing data when a user selects an equipment order from the Booking/Order lookup field:
Booking Item
Consignee

When you add this field in the Appt Tran Type form (on page 1) at the Appointment stage in your gate configuration and mark it as ‘Required’, N4 displays the Hazardous check box in the Appointment form (on page 1). Mark the Hazardous check box if you are creating an appointment for a hazardous container against a booking that is also hazardous.
For N4 to validate the appointment, you should have included the gate business task RejectTranNotMatchingHazardBooking (on page 1) at the Appointment stage (on page 1) for Receive Export (RE) transactions.
For details on how this validation works when you create an appointment using the Gate forms in N4 or through API, see Create and validate an appointment if a booking is hazardous (on page 1).

Displays a text field for you to enter the PIN or Release Number for a container or break-bulk cargo unit at the appointment stage or gate stage.
If both the delivery order and the bill of lading are specified for the break-bulk cargo, N4 first matches the specified PIN to the Deliver Order PIN. If only the bill of lading is specified, N4 matches the specified PIN to the bill of lading PIN.
You can also include this field in the create-appointment gate API.
If the PIN is entered at the appointment stage or sent in the create-appointment API, N4 does not save the PIN against the appointment.
