To show an export's properties, navigate to the Display page and click Inspectors > Export Inspector from the Home ribbon tab. Then, in the Tabular grid, select any of the properties associated with the export (such as the vessel name, amount, or transfers associated with the export), or in the Gantt pane, click the bar of the export, in the relevant feed row. The export Inspector will show you the specific values you're interested in.
The specific properties the Export Inspector shows can be customized by right-clicking and selecting Customize Layout (see Customize the Import Inspector for step-by-step instructions).

The size, position and internal layout of the Inspector are preserved across sessions. These properties are preserved when you close and reopen the Inspector, or Schedule. You do not need to save your case explicitly.
The internal layout properties that are preserved include the following:
-
The size and expanded/collapsed state of panes.
-
The size and position of columns for advanced grids. The settings of legacy Grids are not supported.
The size and position of the Inspectors are preserved separately for each Display. You do not need to enter the Edit Mode of a Display for these settings to be preserved.
If you get a new version of a Display via the Synchronize pane, the local settings for the size and position of the Inspectors are overwritten.
The properties that can be displayed in the Export Inspector are described in the next sections.

Start |
The date and time the export will arrive (the start of the laycan period). |
|
End |
The date and time the export must depart by (the end of the laycan period). |
Clicking the Update End date/time to discharge end sets the depart time of the export to the current end time of the associated discharge activity.
Cargo
The Cargo pane shows the Total Amount of material in the cargo, and allows you to add and remove feedstocks.

To add or remove a feedstock:
-
Select the feedstock grade from the drop-down menu (Select Feedstocks).
-
Click the
button to add the feedstock, or the
button to remove it.
The table in the bottom half of the pane shows the feedstocks currently part of the cargo.
Item
Description
Grade
The grade of the stored feedstock. You can choose another grade by clicking the arrow at the right end of the cell.
Parcel
The cargo parcel corresponding to the feedstock.
Amount
The amount of feedstock in the cargo, in the same unit of measure as the Total Amount field.
Filling
The Filling pane shows details of the filling of the cargo with material from one or more source assets.

The colored bar at the top of the pane shows the filling status in the current schedule simulation:
-
Not drawn: no material has been transferred to the cargo.
-
Remaining: quantity: part of the material has not been transferred to the cargo.
-
Complete: all the material has been transferred to the cargo.
The following controls allow you to customize the filling:
-
Begin Filling Delay: the amount of time between the arrival of the cargo and the beginning of the filling operation.
-
Use Attached Rules: use any rules attached to the departure asset to create transfer activities.
-
Apply Rule: click this button to open the Apply Rule dialog. This allows you to apply an existing rule to generate transfer activities.
-
Generate Liftings: click this button to open the Generate Liftings dialog. This allows you to automatically create the blend and activities needed to assign the right materials to the cargo parcels.
The table in the bottom half of the pane shows the details of each material transfer.
Item
Description
Type
The type of activity:
-
if the transfer activity is manually generated and the source is a tank.
-
if the transfer activity is manually generated and the source is a manifold (only
if the Product lifting manifold support optional feature is enabled).
-
if he transfer activity is simulation generated. The row is read only in this case.
-
if the transfer activity is rule generated. The row is read only in this case.
Order
The order in which transfers are executed.
Parcel
The cargo parcel into which material is transferred.
Grade
The grade of the material being transferred.
Source
The source asset from which material is being transferred. This is coloured yellow or red if the asset is affected by a warning or error condition. Hover your mouse pointer on the cell to display a tooltip with the error message.
The source asset can be a tank. It can also be a manifold if the Product lifting manifold support optional feature is enabled. Note that this feature is designed to work with the manifold configuration set to give zero flow to the export feed.
The default is for the Product lifting manifold support optional feature to be disabled.
Amount
The amount of material to be transferred.
UoM
The unit of measure (for the amount of material, transfer rate, and inventory, as appropriate).
Rate
The rate of material transfer.
Inventory (End)
The inventory of the source asset after the material has been transferred.
Delay
The time delay between operations (if applicable).
-
To remove a transfer, click the
icon at the right end of the corresponding row.
You can add a new transfer using the blank row at the bottom of the table. Either:
-
Click the
icon at the right end of the row to automatically fill the cells with values. You
can then edit individual values.
-
Click the arrow button in the Source cell to reveal a list of sources. Click the option button next to your chosen source and click OK. The rest of the row is filled accordingly.
It is recommended to set the simulation mode to Automatic when working on filling exports, so that the schedule and all the elements of the user interface update in real time following your changes, without getting into an inconsistent state.
To quickly configure the transfer activity so that it draws from the source asset until its working minimum is reached, or until the cargo parcel is full, right click on the transfer row and choose Draw max available from <asset name> from the context menu.

Qualities
The Qualities pane shows the values of some key properties for the products in each cargo parcel. Next to each product is a column with the specifications of the corresponding grade. Any properties violating the specification are highlighted in the table.

Linked import
The Linked Import pane allows you to add an import linked to this export. This is useful if you want to represent transfer of material between two terminals of your plant. Material leaves a terminal as an export and reaches another terminal as the linked import.
To create a linked import, click the Create button. You can then configure the import using the fields. For example, Delay is the delay between the export departure time and the linked import arrival time.
