CCP Reporting, Analytics & Data Management 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which CargoWise dashboard widget typically displays the number of shipments currently in each milestone status (e.g., Booked, In-Transit, Delivered)?
- Accounts Receivable Aging widget
- Shipment Status Summary widget (Correct answer)
- Revenue by Customer pie chart
- Outstanding Purchase Orders widget
Correct answer: Shipment Status Summary widget
The Shipment Status Summary widget groups active shipments by their current milestone or event status for at-a-glance operations visibility.
Question 2: A CargoWise KPI report shows 'On-Time Departure Rate'. What two data fields are compared to calculate this metric?
- Estimated Time of Arrival vs. Actual Time of Arrival
- Estimated Time of Departure vs. Actual Time of Departure (Correct answer)
- Booking date vs. Bill of Lading date
- Cut-off date vs. Gate-in date
Correct answer: Estimated Time of Departure vs. Actual Time of Departure
On-Time Departure Rate compares the Estimated Time of Departure (ETD) against the Actual Time of Departure (ATD) for each shipment.
Question 3: In CargoWise, what is the purpose of a 'Branch Consolidation' setting when running a multi-branch financial report?
- It merges shipments from different branches into one forwarding job
- It aggregates financial figures from selected branches into a single combined report output (Correct answer)
- It restricts the report to only the user's home branch
- It converts all currencies to USD before displaying totals
Correct answer: It aggregates financial figures from selected branches into a single combined report output
Branch Consolidation aggregates data from multiple branches so management can view company-wide financials in one report.
Question 4: Which CargoWise module provides pre-built compliance analytics to help identify shipments that are missing required customs documentation?
- Accounts Receivable
- Customs & Compliance reporting within the customs module (Correct answer)
- The CRM pipeline report
- The warehouse cycle-count report
Correct answer: Customs & Compliance reporting within the customs module
CargoWise's customs module includes compliance reporting dashboards that flag shipments with incomplete or missing declaration documents.
Question 5: A data analyst wants to measure average days to invoice after shipment delivery in CargoWise. Which two date fields are most relevant?
- Booking date and Invoice due date
- Actual delivery date and Invoice creation date (Correct answer)
- ETD and ETA
- Goods received date and Payment cleared date
Correct answer: Actual delivery date and Invoice creation date
Average days to invoice is calculated from the actual delivery date to the date the invoice was created in the system.
Question 6: When a CargoWise report returns no data unexpectedly, which is the FIRST troubleshooting step?
- Delete and recreate the report from scratch
- Check and widen the date range and branch filter parameters (Correct answer)
- Contact CargoWise support immediately
- Switch the report to PDF output to see if data appears
Correct answer: Check and widen the date range and branch filter parameters
Overly narrow date ranges or incorrect branch filters are the most common cause of empty report results and should be checked first.
Question 7: In CargoWise, which security setting controls whether a user can export report data to an external file such as CSV or Excel?
- The user's branch access level
- A specific 'Allow Data Export' permission in the user's security group (Correct answer)
- The report's print setting toggled to 'public'
- The system-wide global export flag in System Configuration
Correct answer: A specific 'Allow Data Export' permission in the user's security group
CargoWise uses role-based security groups where an 'Allow Data Export' permission must be explicitly granted for report export capabilities.
