Shipment Details Page
The Shipment Detail page provides a lot of great information on the specifics of that given shipment. Here you can add notes for your fellow customer care colleagues, reach out to the carrier, as well as reach out to the consumer (this article will outline these steps). We also display a lot of useful information for your Customer Care team to provide back to your consumers.
Shipment Attachments
Users now have the ability to associate attachments with shipments. When working directly with carriers or across internal organizations, document sharing is often a critical component of proactive delivery management. For example, the carrier may want to show the shipper a photo of a damaged shipment in order to determine next steps. Or another common use case is proof that an item was successfully delivered to the final destination.
You can either drag and drop your image, or click within the space to bring up your computer's file navigator.
If successful you'll receive the following success message.
Once your image has been uploaded there's several options available to you. You can view your uploaded image by hovering your mouse over the image and clicking.
Click the vertical ellipsis to select options to view, download, or delete your image.
You'll also see important information about your image such as who uploaded it, the date it was uploaded, and the file size.

Carrier Tracking
There are two options to check customer facing carrier tracking information. The Convey tracking page, and the specific carrier's tracking page. The latter is mostly for a sanity check to double check the information being displayed within Convey is up to date with the current carrier tracking page information. You may prefer one or the other, and it's up to you on what you'd like to verify.
Last Updated / Next Update Detail
The Convey Platform displays a timestamp of the latest carrier status updates, and allows users to hover over the information icon to see when the next update is scheduled.
