History, Events tab

You can access the Event History tab from various inspectors.

The History, Events tab displays the events recorded for the selected entity such as unit, container, chassis, accessory, vessel visit, train visit, bill of lading, or an order (booking, EDO, or ELO).You can record service events for the selected entity on this tab. For more information, see Event Types view.

In addition, when you perform certain tasks in N4 or in XPS, such as discharge a container or edit the routing information for a booking, N4 records the associated built-in events on the tab for the affected entity. This includes merging a TBD unit with an actual unit.

When you prevent both receivals and deliveries by not selecting the Gate Receival and Gate Delivery check boxes in the Set Transfer Point Usage dialog box, then N4 does not record the UNIT_RECEIVE and UNIT_DELIVER events. N4 records these events only when the unit moves to or from a landside transfer point (LSTP).

If you want to block both the move types for new trucks, you must adjust the Lane Status and not the Transfer Point Usage settings.

To view the details of an event, double-click the event or use the Action Show Details option.

The Changes field displays the values that changed per the event for a unit, booking, EDO, or ELO, such as the old and new unit position for a unit discharge event.

The Cluster Node field displays the name of the cluster nodes which processed the event. N4 allows you to download the event node logs for a selected record using the Download Node Log Files option.

When a billable event is extracted to the Chargeable Unit Events view, N4 associates the Batch ID with the event. You can display the Extract Batch column to view the Batch ID associated with the event. For more information on displaying a column, see Hiding and displaying columns.

For break-bulk units that are associated with cargo lots, N4 also displays any cargo lot events in the History, Events tab for the unit.

N4 does not record updates that affect only flex fields on the History, Events tab (on page 1). If an update also includes other fields, N4 captures the full update, including all field changes, in a history event that appears on the History, Events tab (on page 1). Even if N4 does not record the event against the entity on the History, Events tab (on page 1), N4 Mobile sends all field changes to N4 when you save.

You can see the Hatch Clerk's ID in the XPS log, but it does not appear in N4 by default unless you use the Radio Server. To make the Hatch Clerk ID visible in N4 without the Radio Server, you can implement a customized code extension of the type ENTITY_LIFECYCLE_INTERCEPTION with the name UpdateMoveEventAppliedByInfo.
