Custom rules

Custom rules allow you to create specific loading behaviours for cargo that are not accessible through other settings or data-parameters.

Each rule consists of three parts:

  1. Selector: What items the rule should apply to. You can create filters with specific properties of items like Items with a length greater than 100cm or Items with a Group/Shipment of “Group A”. You can combine multiple filters, selecting a smaller and smaller section of the total items with each filter. If left empty this rule will apply to all items.

  2. Condition: How these items should behave. Some conditions also includes a second selector input. A list of each condition is shown below

  3. Containers: In what hold-type this rule applies. If left empty, the rule applies to all container types.
