The Shipment Module gives you full visibility into your goods across every mode of transport, so you’re never left wondering where things stand.

Activity tab icons explained
The colors of the icons don't hold any particular relevance, but the icon as a whole represents the specific mode of transport related to an event.
For example, we might see an "Arrival" event at two ocean ports and an inland rail terminal.
The first two would show the ocean icon, and the latter would show the rail icon.
This helps provide visual cues to the user as the job progresses through the various modes of an intermodal journey.
Whenever we receive an event from CargoWise that does not have a specific mode associated to it, we use the generic grey icon.
The lack of mode specification from CargoWise can be due to a variety of things:
Automation quirks in CargoWise
Manually-added events
Bad data etc.
We do the best we can to fill in unknowns, but sometimes we can't and so you'll see some inconsistencies.
In this case, this is the icon displayed when the transport mode is either:
Courier
FIxedTransport
OwnPropulsion
Pedestrian
RollOnRollOffFreight
Storage
