Default Reference ID

These are user-specific settings located under the Profile section and can be configured by each users individually.

To make changes, navigate to Settings > Profile > Default Currency

Click the dropdown and select one of the available currencies.

MFA

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is an added layer of security for logging into the platform. If configured, you will be asked to verify your identity using a security code each time you log in.

When you set up MFA, you download an authenticator app on your device (like Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Duo Mobile, or Authy), scan the QR code provided in the platform, and then enter the code generated by the authenticator app.

Recommended Apps include:

  • Microsoft Authenticator

  • Google Authenticator

  • Duo Mobile

  • Authy

You can return to Settings to modify or remove MFA at any time.

💡 User Admin can choose to mandate MFA for all users. Then, users will be prompted to configure MFA as part of the login process, and it can't be removed in Settings. For more information, click here.

Operators can choose to view the platform as a customer.

While in View As mode, Logixboard will update to reflect the selected view, and an eye icon will be visible on the Settings capsule.

Email notifications allow users to stay up-to-date on their shipments. The only notification enabled by default is New Shipment Messages. Each user is responsible for enabling their own notifications.

Add Notifications

Note that that list of notifications is dependent on the enabled features.


8. User Admin

The User Admin tab allows Admins to manage all users in the platform, as well as their roles and permissions.

Operators can have the option to invite and manage customer access. Admins must enable this option when creating operators.

In the Manage Account Invitations card, Admins and Operators can send, view, and manage user invites.

The User Management card allows Admins and Operators to view, edit, and delete users.

9. Configurations

Configurations allow you to customize the fields that are visible in the platform, creating a user experience that is tailored to your customers.

Shipment Details

Use this section to configure the visibility of certain shipments and fields.

By default, shipments missing a Shipment ETA, Origin Port, or Destination Port are not displayed in the Shipment Explorer or Analytics. To display shipments missing these pieces of information, you can select them under Table Columns.

By default, Variance fields are displayed in the platform. Deselecting a Variance field will hide it everywhere it is currently being displayed. (If your organization uses placeholder dates in the early stages of a shipment, you may want to hide to Variance fields to prevent customer confusion.)

Trucking Details

By default, Carrier information is displayed within Trucking Visibility. Deselecting this will hide Carrier information everywhere it is currently being displayed in the platform. (This can be useful in preventing customers from contracting directly with the carrier.)
