1. What the Containers list shows

The Containers page lists every container in your fleet. Each row shows the container reference, type, size, current address and postcode, drop date, collected date, and a status badge. You can filter by status using the tabs at the top of the list, or search by reference, address, postcode, or notes.

2. Status tabs

Use the status tabs to quickly filter the list by container state.

3. Container types

The system supports five container types: Skip, Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo), Wheelie Bin, IBC, and Other. The type is shown as a label next to the reference on each list row.

4. Actions

Click any container row to open the edit form. Use the "+ Add Container" button in the top-right to register a new container. Use the Export button to download the current filtered list as a CSV file.

Export for hire-out billing

Export the On Site containers to CSV and use the Dropped Date column to calculate hire duration for invoicing. Sort by Dropped Date to find the longest-deployed containers first.

20 containers per page

The list is paginated at 20 items per page. Use the search field to narrow down results if you have a large fleet.

Common Mistakes

• Not updating the container status when a skip is collected — leaving containers as "On Site" indefinitely makes the Available count inaccurate.

• Using the same container reference for two different containers — references must be unique within your fleet.
