Usage Notes for New Exacta Users
 
    All Users Page

The All Users page is a list of all users who exist in the system.
  • You may add a new user by clicking the "Add New User" button.
  • If a user exists, you may edit or delete the user by clicking the links beside each user's information.
  • If you delete the user, it will completely remove the user's information from the user admin database; you cannot get it back, you will need to manually re-create the user.

Add New User Page

The Add New User form is where you will create new user names and passwords.

The information you enter in the fields on this page will NOT update any information in the Paradox database.

Only Exacta staff can create a new user; the customer will not have the ability to register or create a new user record.
  • Select the company name for the user from the drop down menu.
            If you are trying to add a user, but his or her company name is not listed in pull down menu,
            please make sure that the customer already exists in the Paradox database system, and contact
            exacta@igicom.com to have the company added to the user admin database.
  • Company Name, First Name, Last Name, E-mail, User Name and Passwords are Required Fields. You cannot save a new user's information without completing these fields. Title and Phone are optional fields.
  • User name MUST be all letters and is only created by you at Exacta. The customer does not have the ability to change this.
  • Passwords must include letters and at least 1 digit. The user passwords are automatically generated when you create a new account and are encrypted for security purposes.
  • When you create a new user, an automatic e-mail will be sent, directing them to log in at www.exactaintl.com and change the password to one of their own choosing.
  • Through the Exacta public website www.exactaintl.com, the user may log in and modify title, phone, e-mail and password anytime he or she desires. The user CANNOT edit user name, name, company, report view; instructions direct the user to contact Exacta if any of those fields are incorrect.

Only Exacta can determine which reports a client sees; the customer cannot change his or her own views unless they contact the Exacta office directly.
  • You must select at least one Shipment Status view. The first selected report (from left to right) will be the default view for your user. For example:
            If you pick KPA, GTC, Perkins - KPA is the default report.
            If you pick: GTC, Perkins - GTC is the default report.
  • All customers will be able to see Shipment Advice.
  • This is the naming convention for the report view types and the data columns displayed:

    Short Name
    (what you will see)
    Long Name
    (what the customer will see)
    Data Included
    KPA Pending & Delivery Ref#, Ship to, Consignee ref #, Cargo, Container #, Vessel, ETS, ETA, Port, Load on (default sort; most recent to least recent), Actual Delivered, Requested, Status
    Maverick Pending & Delivery for Maverick Consignee ref #, Ref # (default sort; smallest to largest number), Shipper ref #, Vessel, ETS, ETA, Status, Container #, Weight
    GTC Pending Only Ref#, Shipper ref #, Consignee ref #, Consignee, Load date (default sort; most recent to least recent date), Requested, Origin, Port, Status
    Perkins Detailed Pending & Delivery Exacta # (same as ref#, default sort; smallest to largest number), Consignee ref #, Agent ref#, Place of delivery on carriage, Total containers, Vessel, ETA, Port, Requested, Shipment Status, Shipment Status Detail

  • The Long view names will be shown to the customer in Shipment Tracker's Shipment Status Page in the View Type dropdown box if the customer has been given a choice of reports; OR as text without a dropdown box if you only allow the customer to see one standard report.
