Vessel Document Types

Vessel document types provide the choices shown when a user adds or edits a document on a vessel.

Open Administration | Vessel Document Types to see the available types. The list shows the name users see, its order in the list, and whether it can be used for a vessel, vessel group, or company.

Add A Type

  1. Click the plus button.

  2. Enter a unique Key.

  3. Enter the Value that users should see in the document type list.

  4. Enter a Weight to control the order. Types with a lower weight appear first.

  5. Select where the type can be used. Select Applicable to Vessel to show it when users add vessel documents.

  6. Click Save.

Edit A Type

Click the pencil button beside a type. You can change its value, weight, and where it can be used. The key cannot be changed after the type is created.

Your permissions control which actions are available. Read access opens the page. Create access enables the plus button, and update access enables the pencil buttons.
