ameliaCARGO Release Notes - November 2017
CARGO Next Generation:
The ameliaCARGO system has been rebuilt in a new programming language. That is the main change is in this release.
URL change
For this release, the main URL for the Operations user interface has changed. This currently ends in 'login.aspx', while the new URL ends with 'login' (ie. no '.aspx' extension).
If you are using the Public website for your customers, we cannot redirect from the previous URL to the new one. The URL for the Public website has NOT changed with this release.
NOTE: Please ensure that users are informed of the change in URL, so they may update their bookmarks.
This rebuild/rewrite provides a faster, more responsive user experience with improved error handling and user guidance. It also enables ameliaCARGO to be operated on any device, at any screen size. Resolution and layout will be automatically adjusted to match the device's screen size.
The first phase (included in this release) is the System Administration screens, with the exception of Manage Menu, and Manage Flight Schedule. During the coming months, individual screens will be updated (without a new release).
Other Changes:
1 - Public View Credit
The view of a customer's credit in the Public system now refreshes each time the customer views it.
2 - Search Rates and Search Rates with Flights
PrePaid and Collect options have been added to Search for Rates and Search Rates with Flights so that users can search for prepaid or collect-only rates.
3 - Reservation Report
'From Airport' and 'To Airport' have been added to the search options to enable users to filter by route.
4 - Manage Flight Schedules and Manage Other Airlines Schedule
We have corrected a misspelling of 'Thursday' in Manage Flight Schedules.
5 - Create and Amend Export Consignment
Validation of the Remarks and Special Remarks field size has been updated to allow longer text in these fields.
6 - Amend Mail
We have corrected a bug that caused a failure when amending mail shipments.
7 - Amend Consignment Charges screen
A bug in the Amend Consignment Charges screen that forced a shipper account number if the user changed the consignment to a Non-Revenue Consignment has been fixed.
8 - ULDs at Airport
The ULDs at Airport screen has been updated to increase paging options, which is useful when there are many (hundreds of) ULDs available.
9 - Create Transhipments
Total fields have been updated to not populate with commas, as this caused an error message about invalid characters.
10 - Reservations Queue
The Reservations Queue has been updated to allow searching by flight date only, with or without a flight number.
11 - New Report - Amended Consignments Report
This new report lists all waybills that have been amended during the selected date range.
12 - New Process - Place shipment on Hold
A new process has been added to place a waybill on hold, and prevent it from being allocated to a flight. On the same screen, the user may also release the shipment from hold.
13 - Bug in Shipper Account picklist
A bug that caused the customer account number to appear as a date has been resolved.
14 - Bug in Remarks
A bug that caused duplicate remarks has been fixed, and the timestamp for Remarks has been corrected.

The Pre Allocation screen has been updated to provide more information on weight available on flights. The new display includes:
- Maximum Priority Weight allowed
- Maximum General Weight allowed
- Passenger Weight
- Baggage Weight
- Priority Cargo already loaded

16 - Public System - Print Labels
The Public system has been updated to allow customers to print cargo labels for their cargo at any time.
17 - Public System - PO Number
Public waybill creation has been updated to allow customers to enter a PO Number for waybills they create.
18 - New Report - Cargo Rates in System
The new Cargo Rates in System report is designed to provide the user with a list or data extract of the existing cargo rates in the system.
The format of this report is identical to the Bulk Rates Upload format, and therefore can be used to easily check existing rates, and make any changes (if necessary). If the report contains too much data to display on screen, the data will be made available in a CSV file on the Manage Data Download screen.
19 - New Report - Rates Update Log
The Rates Update Log is designed to provide two reports:
Manual Rates Updates - The system reports all manual updates, as well as who made them, and when.
Auto Update Errors - The system reports any rates updates that failed in the automatic update or delete by file processes.
Users should check the report - if any errors are found, the data should be corrected in the next Rates Update file.

A new screen and report have been added, which list all the users in the system and the menu options to which they have access.
