Settings: Company Locations, Supplier and Lane Classification

Suppliers and companies can define and customize their own labels for two different types of classification (for Company Location, for Supplier Location and Suppliers or for Lanes). Only an administrator user can change the description of the classification.

An administrator can go to the settings menu of the tenant configuration under Administrations. Here the administrator user can modify the description for location classification and supplier classification.

Please note, that a user is not able to enable/disable this functionality anymore. The functionality is always enabled by default. 

When a Location Classification is selected, the Classification Description is visible next to the name on the Suppliers and Locations overview.

A User can modify the Classification type, under Configuration - Classification. When a user chooses a supplier classification it is visualized in the header beside the supplier's name.

A user is also able to filter suppliers and locations by classification descriptions in the My Locations and My Suppliers overview.

Similar to the Company Location Classification and Supplier / Supplier Location Classification, Tenant Administrators can create and manage their company Lane Classifications under Administration → Settings → Classifications. Up to four customizable classification categories are available, and Tenant Administrators may rename each category to meet company internal classification standards.

The Lane Classification setting is available to the following user groups for the Lanes they own (and share, where applicable):

• Premium Pharma Manufacturers - Lanes they own and share
• Premium and non-premium Air Carriers - Lanes they own
• Forwarders - Lanes they own
• Ocean Carriers - Lanes they own
• Wholesalers - Lanes they own

Each organization only sees its own classification labels. Classification names are not shared with external parties, even when the Lane is shared. All internal users can view the Lane Classifications, but only certain roles can edit them.

Lane Classifications can be assigned in the Configuration tab, under the Classification card. Lane Classifications are visible in the following areas:

• The Lane Listing page, under All Lanes, My Lanes, and My Location Lanes
• Internal users within the company
• Lane exports, including:
  • Lane PDF
  • Lane CSV
  • Lane JSON

Because classification labels are organization-specific, sharing parties will only see the classifications defined within their own organization.

Note: The Lane Audit Trail displays only the default system values (e.g., Class 1, Class 2) rather than the customized names. This ensures the classification naming conventions remain private to each organization. The main Audit Trail also records the creation, changes, and deletion of classification names.

The following roles can update the Lane Classification on a lane:

• Tenant Administrators
• Responsible User
• Contributors (internal and external)
• QA (internal and external)
• Approvers (internal and external)

Users can filter lanes based on the defined Lane Classifications. When a lane is copied, its classification settings are copied automatically.
