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

  1. List — Filter by client, status, or partial container number.
  2. Detail — History, photos, location, actions permitted by role.
  3. Import — Bulk load from /dashboard/depot/containers/import (Excel with automap) or via Gate / batch Gate In.
  4. 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.
