Custom fields allow you to enrich your shipment data on the Beacon platform, offering more personalized and detailed visibility. Adding custom fields gives you the flexibility to display additional information that supplements the preset tracking data.
What is a Custom Field?
A custom field is a personalized data field you can create within Beacon to enhance your shipment details. This extra information helps provide more context and allows for better search and organization.
By uploading data into custom fields, you can display the information that matters most to you and your team, improving how you track and manage shipments.
