Tasks 
Tasks help streamline your workflow by standardising tasks, tracking progress across shipments, and clearly highlighting anything overdue, so nothing slips through the cracks.
Whether you’re managing one shipment or many, Tasks make it easier to stay on top of things and keep everything moving.
Note: Tasks are available exclusively for shipments tracked through our 
CargoSync feature.
Sticky and Interactive Nav Bar
The shipment page can get pretty long, but no need to scroll endlessly. The sticky nav bar lets you jump straight to any section you need.

Shareable Shipments 
Want to share limited shipment information with third parties? Click 
and choose how - no Explorate login needed!
1. Advanced Sharing (Magic Link via Email)
This lets you email a secure magic link to specific addresses. You can choose whether or not to allow document uploads using the checkbox
Document uploads enabled
| Document uploads disabled
|
Even if document uploads are disabled, the emailed link still offers added security by expiring after 7 days. Once expired, the recipient can easily request a new one through the same email.
2. Public Link
This option lets you share a simplified view of the shipment with third parties - no document uploads, just key details.
To share the public link, first, 
enable the toggle and simply click on
to copy the public link into your clipboard, and share it with the intended recipients.
For added control, disable the link 
anytime via the share modal by toggling the link off.
Activity Feed
The key events are positioned at the top of the page, and the detailed activity log is at the bottom, but you don't need to scroll up and down, you can use the nav bar to simply jump to any section of the page.
