In this worked example, the DG column sorting will be carried out from the Area folder node   under the Manifest directory. The sort function will be applied across all data in the grid.  Take note that by default, the Cat Name list in the grid is displayed in alpha-numeric ordering.

Steps

In the Home module button (if it is not already the default module)

1. ExpandManifest directory nodes to view the folder location, e.g. Area node at level 1

2. Press the Folder name. Take note that the manifest list grid defaults to Cat Name view mode

  The default cat name alpha-numeric ordering display determines the DG Class value displayed.

3. Clickthe Sort Up/Downicon on the DG column header to start sorting the list grid by Ascending Order  

   The least DG will be displayed at the top of the list take in into account all data in the grid.

4. Clickthe Ascending Order  icon on the Volume/Weight column header to sort the list grid by Descending Order  

 The None DG Volume/Weight will be displayed at the top of the list take in into account all data in the grid.

5. Selectthe Cat Name column header to relax the sorting to the default alpha-numeric listing in the grid.

6. The Cat Name list shows the alpha-numeric ordering.

Dangerous substances of Classes 3, 4, 5, 6.1 and 8 have been assigned to one of three categories (Packaging Groups) according to the degree of danger they present. The greater the degree of danger, the more stringent the packaging requirement for the substance.

Generally, once a register of materials has been created in the Manifest Module, the program automatically calculates the Dangerous Goods Class, Sub-Risk(s) and Packing Group for that particular material in accordance to the Australian Dangerous Goods Code (for example, in Australia – the ADG Code  is referenced, which stems from the UNDG.  The regulation classifies dangerous goods into nine classes, which are assigned a specific dangerous goods diamond for transportation by land, air and/or rail.  The program utilises these codes for the classification of chemicals added into the manifest. The “DGC, Sub-Risk 1, Sub Risk 2 and Packing Group” columns display the respective data for the chemical as part of compliance. For more information on the various DG Classes and respective Hazchem diamonds, refer to Materials Module Table: Search Options: Task description on how to use the various search options.

Sorting by Dangerous Goods Class is applicable in the Manifest module. Follow the steps illustrated below to filter by a single class at a time.

1. Open Manifest module

2. Select an area/section/location (folder) to display list of material

3. Click on the DG funnel icon  to pop up the DG Class filter panel

4. Select the filter drop down arrow to filter/sort by a specific DG Class number

5. Select the dangerous good class number, for example DGC 3 has been exemplified

6. Click the "apply" button to filter by the selected class number

7. All DGC 3 materials will be filtered out if found in the specific folder

8. Use the print or save or email button to obtain DGC filtered out report.
