If you have logged onto eCargo Online this week, you would have noticed the new colour scheme and user interface, which has been re-designed to incorporate the look and feel of the relaunched website. It also includes a number of layout changes to improve user functionality and ease navigation.

With this comes a rearrangement or rewording of menus and their items:

Menu re-design

• The new design has moved away from the old 'drill-down' style on the left of the page, to a more simplified 'tabbed' approach along the top. The amount of menus that appear will now be dependant on the features you subscribe to.
• The sub-menus from the old design are now grouped via section headings under each active tab.

Menu item changes (Invoices Menu)

A number of menu items have either been moved or consolidated into existing sections to simplify navigation. This includes a number of items that have been reworded and/or relocated from obsolete menus in the old version. 

Under Common Tasks:

• 'Import Invoice' is now 'Import an Invoice or Pre-Invoice'
• 'Extra Charges', 'Variances' and 'Location Mappings' have all been re-named with 'Manage…' in front of them.
•  'Maintain Invoice' is now accessed via 'Change the Status of an Invoice'.

Under Invoicing:

• 'Maintain Report' is now accessed via 'Invoice Details' under the new Invoicing heading. Search for the invoice and then click the 'Invoice Report' button.

Breadcrumbs

• This new feature sits below the main menu tabs, giving the user an at-a-glance browsing history of the last 3 pages visited - very useful if juggling between a small number of common pages, eg. for invoicing purposes.
