On this tab, you specify:
How N4 should list positions in this block. You define the order and number of characters from the block, row, column, and tier labels to create the slot and host naming formats. N4 uses these names to label yard positions on screen and in printed reports.
The row and tier naming schemes for the block.
Table: Names tab fields, descriptions, and valid codes or ranges
|
Field |
Description |
Valid codes or ranges |
|---|---|---|
|
Label Format Row Only |
The format for row labels only. |
R followed by the number of characters from the row label to be included in the slot name. To prevent display problems, the recommended limit for row labels is four characters. For example, for a value of R1, N4 displays only "2" as the slot name for row 208. For a value of R3, N4 displays all three digits ("208"). The same logic applies to the block, column and tier labels. |
|
Label Format Column Only |
The format for column labels only. |
C followed by the number of character from the column label to be included in the slot name. To prevent display problems, the recommended limit for column labels is four characters. |
|
Label Format Tier Only |
The format for tier labels only. |
T followed by the number of characters from the tier label to be included in the slot name. To prevent display problems, the recommended limit for tier labels is four characters. |
|
User Label Format |
The block label, row label, column label, and tier label in the sequence in which N4 displays them, by default. However, this field also accepts the following combination of Block, Row, Tier, and Column labels.
At automated terminals, this display name cannot exceed 6 characters, as determined by the ECS interface specification. |
Combine labels with text delimiters such as blank spaces [ ], hyphens [–], slashes [/], asterisks [*], or dots [.]. For example, if the slot name B1R1C1T1 renders position SD112, then B1-R1 C1/T1 would render position S-D 11/2. Yard Editor does not support underlines [_]. |
|
Internal Label Format |
The format by which your operation labels positions in this block. By default, N4 displays the sequence as block label, row label, column label, and tier label. However, this field also accepts the following combination of Block, Row, Tier, and Column labels.
|
Cannot exceed seven characters. This restriction applies to the bin name rather than the label format, because the system uses the label format to compute the bin name. When XPS receives a position from N4, it joins together the block, row, and column labels. To determine the actual position, XPS then compares this ground position name with names (generated by XPS) using the internal label format defined in this field. For example, a valid format would be BIR3C3 (1+3+3 = 7). The host name’s format in this section must exactly match the name format of the XPS/host-system interface. Failure to match these names will cause position errors. |
|
Row Table 20 |
The naming table number that defines the row labels for 20' container rows. |
This value is derived from the bin name tables specified for the yard model. See Bin Name Table form (on page 1) for more information. |
|
Row Table 40 |
The naming table number that defines the row labels for 40' container rows. 20' and 40' containers can have the same naming tables. However, if naming follows the ISO numbering scheme, where 20' containers are placed in odd rows and 40' containers in even rows, each block can have different naming tables. |
This value is derived from the bin name tables specified for the yard model. See Bin Name Table form (on page 1) for more information. |
|
Tier Table |
The naming table number that defines the tier labels. |
This value is derived from the bin name tables specified for the yard model. See Bin Name Table form (on page 1) for more information. Stack blocks are linked to bin name tables via gkey, not by bin name table name. When you delete a tier table, the list of values here displays the obsolete table name and then the list of active tables; it does not display duplicate names. Therefore, when you recreate a deleted tier table, it is recommended that you give it a different name and select that name from the list of values. |
|
40' Extends Ascending |
Controls the visibility of containers in the XPS client. If it is selected, the icon of a 40' container is visible in the lowest 20' slot of the two 20' slots that are occupied by the 40' container, while the highest (or Ascending) 20’ slot displays the extension, ‘+’. If it is not selected, N4 extends 40' containers in descending direction (down from the planned position). |
