Vessel Search Criteria​

There are mainly two types of search criteria for the vessel.

  1. Active Vessels Search
  2. Pending Vessels Search

This is the default Vessel Search page which portrays the Active Vessel records in the result set.

This is to find the Vessels that are currently in the pending state, i.e. the records which are still not yet approved by the Approvers.

Based on the search criteria mentioned above the system will show the relevant records in a sub-screen like in the image below upon clicking on the ‘Search' button or hitting the 'Enter’ key on the keyboard while being on the search screen.

Note:

  • Users can paginate the results accordingly at their convenience. The pagination buttons can be found at the bottom of search results.

  4. If there is an red asterisk visible on any tab, that signifies that the corresponding tab data changes are not saved by clicking the ‘Apply’ button.
  5. If there is any cross validation or form data error, then the ‘Apply’ button will be disabled only & the relavant error message would be shown in the form.
  6. ‘Save’ button on the tab will be enabled only if there are no any form errors in any tab.

Copy Vessel​

With existing copy functionality most of the data gets populated in the new record which increased risk where user may overlook data & saved vessel record as it is or either has to remove & update the correct values which is double efforts.

Hence, Copy Vessel functionality allows to copy the existing vessel data and create a new one.

Below are the fields which will be copied when user click the button “Copy Vessel”.

To overcome with these challenges while creating record using copy functionality only specific data as specified below in the attached file should be auto populated/copy from the vessel.
