GLG: Setting Data Type Validation for Custom Fields

Custom fields can require data type validation to eliminate data errors. Customers can add validations such as field type and valid characters to their custom fields in carrier profiles. After customers set up the data type validations, drivers are restricted to input data following the data type parameters. With this enhancement, customers have more control in ensuring data from carriers is correct.

Complete the following steps to set data type validations for custom fields that are displayed in the driver mobile app:

  1. L og in to the ONE system.

  2. Click Menu/Favs > Transportation > Policies > Carrier Profiling.
    The Carrier Profiling screen displays.

    Error is the only available option in the Failure Type column.
