Containers
The containers module is operational inventory: ISO number, client, status, yard location (if any), and links to moves, inspections, and repairs. Main path: /dashboard/depot/containers.
What it solves
One place for who owns the unit (client), where it is, and what phase of the lifecycle applies—without parallel spreadsheets.
Common statuses
Examples include IN_YARD, GATED_OUT, and intermediate states for inspection, damage, or MNR repair depending on your process.
Operational columns in inventory and reports
Listings, exports, and the container detail page separate:
- Condition — Operational equipment condition (e.g. One-Trip, Used, IICL) when recorded.
- Notes — Free-text operator notes (distinct from condition).
- Damaged — Damage flag when applicable.
- Days in yard — Active yard dwell time (not the same as out-gated units).
How to use it
- List — Filter by client, status, or partial container number.
- Detail — History, photos, location, actions permitted by role.
- Import — Bulk load from
/dashboard/depot/containers/import(Excel with automap) or via Gate / batch Gate In. - Remove from inventory — Admins can retire units from active inventory with safe cascade when required.
Roles
- COMPANY_ADMIN, OPERATOR, INSPECTOR: read/write per module.
- CLIENT_USER: read-only for their client; no Gate create buttons.
