    Good to know

    • The timeline brings together: the creation of the container, the purchase and the supplier, the sale and the buyer, each trading and leasing (with the rental period), issued releases, drop-offs, added documents, completed repairs and changes to the record.
    • Each event shows the date and, when known, the person who did it.
    • In the Leasing and Trading tabs, the On this deal column gives the container's state on that deal (booked, released, picked up, dropped off, completed). It can differ from its current status.
    • The Edit button opens the form; the record menu also offers Sell and the exchange (Swap) depending on your permissions.
    • A deleted container keeps its history; it can be restored from the list.
