Note: Leaving a field blank is interpreted as meaning 'all'
1. Market, Origin, Destination, Carrier
The Market is predefined, depending on the account settings. When more then 1 market is assign to the account, the market has to be filled in.
The Market, Origin and Carrier can be pre-defined in the ‘User Preferences’ which can be adjusted at ‘settings --> user preferences’.
