IMOS On-Prem - Voyage Estimate, Column View
Voyage Estimate Column view gives you the ability to create multiple scenarios and compare them side by side, as well as combining Estimates to create one voyage and performing Deviation and Sensitivity Analyses. Use Column view when you want a quick snapshot, and if you have a simple voyage with one load port, one discharge port, and one cargo.
You can open an Estimate, copy it, and make adjustments to the copy, such as trying a different vessel, route, or charterer, while comparing the Daily Profit and the TCE to determine the most profitable voyage.
With multiple Voyage Estimates open, you can click << Hide at the bottom of an Estimate to collapse it (center, above) and >> to expand it again.
To move an Estimate column to the right or left, click a field in the column you want to move and then press Ctrl + Right Arrow or Ctrl + Left Arrow.
Either the Tasks & Alerts or Revisions panel appears at the top right corner of each Estimate column. To expand  or collapse  the panel, click the arrow. Colored arrows indicate Alerts: A red arrow  indicates an Error, and a yellow arrow  indicates a Warning.
To select what you want to view, click  and then click one of the following:
Show Tasks & Alerts: View the Tasks & Alerts panel, which displays the Tasks and Alerts that apply to the contract. The heading bar includes the icon for the most urgent Alert or Task. If none are urgent, the task that is in progress appears.
Show Revisions: View the Revisions panel, which displays a chronological list of changes to the Voyage Estimate. You can also click Revision History to view the same information in a list.
In each Voyage Estimate, you must enter at least the Vessel Name to save.
When you select a port, the Itinerary Details form appears, so you can enter additional information about the itinerary. In Details view, you can open it from a context menu from a port line in the Itinerary grid on most tabs.
If you add planned liftings to the Bunker Planning form with Calculation Method FIFO, price fields for associated Fuel Types highlight in yellow. To view the Weighted Average price of all Fuel Types and details about all Planned Liftings for the voyage, hover over a highlighted field.
