In this section, account administrators will be able to add or edit external load source settings, enabling users to either post available freight or perform custom load searches.
Begin by clicking the Settings menu found on the lower-left side of your screen.
Locate the Premium Features and Billing Details area and click on the Add or Edit External Load Sources link.
These are the load source settings that will be shared by everyone in your organization. Enter your organization's credentials for every load source you want to integrate with AscendTMS . Keep in mind that some load source integrations can be used for load searching, some are available for load posting and some can be used for both load searching and load posting.
If your load source subscriptions offer unique, user-specific login credentials in addition to the main organizational credentials, individual users in AscendTMS may wish to post or search freight using their personal logins. Each user with personal login credentials for load sources should enter them in the User Settings located in the top-right corner of AscendTMS .
These user-specific external load source settings should only be changed after the organization load source credentials have been entered in the Premium Features and Billing Details by an AscendTMS account administrator.
