Logbook: Edit External Person Details in Manifest
You can update an external person's information directly from the Manifest grid without leaving the page. This is useful when you need to fix a misspelling, add identification documents, or update their company or vendor association.
To edit an external person's details
- Go to the Onboard > Logs > Manifest tab.
- From the asset list, select the asset you want to work with.
- In the grid, find the passenger row you want to edit.
- Click the menu icon (⋮) on the left side of the row.
- Select Edit External Person.
- In the Edit External Person window, update any of these fields:
- First Name: The person's first name (required).
- Middle Name: The person's middle name.
- Last Name: The person's last name (required).
- Suffix: Any suffix (Jr., Sr., III, etc.).
- Preferred Name: The name the person prefers to be called.
- Person Profile: This field is required. See Setup Manifest Person Profiles.
- Company: Depending on the type that was assigned to the selected person profile during setup (Customer or Vendor), this field displays either a list of companies or a list of vendors that you can link the person to.
- (Optional) In the Identifications section, you can add, edit, or remove identification documents:
- To add: Click Add Identification, select the Identification Type, and enter the Identification Number.
- To edit: Update the Identification Number field for an existing identification.
- To remove: Delete the identification from the list.
- Click Save Changes.
The grid updates immediately to show your changes. Any updates you make also appear in the person's profile at Management > People > External People.
What happens when you edit a person profile
- If you change the person profile type (from Customer to Vendor, for example), the system automatically clears any company or vendor association.
- If you add or edit an identification, it moves to the top of the list and becomes the identification shown in the Manifest grid.
- All manifest entries for this person across all dates update with the new information.
