=== Need visibility defined per user type, MOT, client, office, internal user group, etc ===

We have significant number of new CT fields introduced: PO Issued by, Piece price, Approved For Date, etc

Are they visible? This must be defined separately for:

* a] each of 4 types of users: jaguar/internal, shipper, planner, client
 +
 
 +
* b] each MOT: air, ocean, etc.
 +

 +
 
 +
* a)
 +
** client - do not change functionality
 +
** shipper/planner/jaguar - may see all NEW fields

* b,c,d,e – visible for any value for now
 +

=== Need read or write defined per user type, different phases in the lifetime of the shipment ===
 +
 
 +
Next question is: If new field is visible then are they open for read or also write? Must be defined separately for:
 +
 
 +
* a] each of 4 types of users: jaguar/internal, shipper, planner, client
 +
 
 +
* b] different phases in the lifetime of the shipment (example: commodity info may not be changed after Ct is approved)

Some of this already defined, but not all – it is a matrix: (option a) X (option b)
