The 'Add From File' option from the Shipments page can be used to upload manifest data into Cargo from a file.
This option is available from both the Inbound and Outbound tabs on the shipment page.
An important thing to note is that the data must be in a format that is supported by Cargo. This can either be our internal format or your own format, please contact support for further details on this.
Step 1. Take 'Add From File' from the Shipments page from the appropriate tab
Step 2. Select the file to upload
Format Your default file format will be selected automatically but if you have a need to upload files in different formats then you will need to select the format here.
File input Select the file you wish to load.
Add mode You can either choose to create a new shipment from the file or append the consignments to an existing shipment. When the 'Append' option is selected you will be prompted to select an existing shipment.
