With this distances release, we are now maintaining the State property on ports as a part of our distances upgrade process.

Veslink Voyage Reporting 

The System Config page now contains a new setting in the Forms Section (veslink.com/#operations/veslinkConfig/).

"Within SOFs, allows selection of cargo type All. This applies a given activity to all cargoes that exist on that leg". To use this setting, turn it on, then reset master data. If using offline forms, you must download new forms; for Onboard, you must run bulk replication. No action is required for API submission.

With this setting enabled, offline/Onboard SOF forms will now default to cargo type "All" instead of the usual "Select..." dropdown option. For voyage legs with multiple cargoes, an SOF submitted against that leg with "All" selected in the Cargoes column will generate the relevant cargo activity for all cargoes in that voyage leg. If desired, leg cargoes can be manually excluded by creating a separate cargo activity of the same type and manually selecting the desired cargo.

For API submission, if this setting is turned on, cargo activities with no cargoName will apply to all leg cargoes. Individual cargoes can be manually excluded for a given activity in the same manner as described above.
