Creating custom fields, viewing, adding and editing custom data, field mapping during uploads

What are custom fields?

While Portcast intakes Container Numbers, Master Bill of Lading/Booking Numbers, and Carrier SCAC codes in order to track your shipments’ journey details, we also understand that there may be related data from your own internal records that is useful to store alongside such journey details.

Some examples include:

• Internal Reference Numbers
• PO Numbers
• Invoice Numbers
• Supplier Name
• Consignee/Consignor Name
• Contract Numbers
• Contractual ETA at POD, based on carrier agreements

Where can I view custom fields data?

There are 2 places on the Portcast webapp where it can be viewed:

1. Individual container tracking pages → Custom Details tab:
