CCP Template & Document Builder 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: In CargoWise, which statement best describes how an EDI Message template differs from a Document Print template?
- EDI templates produce human-readable PDFs while print templates produce electronic data files
- EDI templates format data for electronic interchange with trading partners, while print templates generate formatted documents for viewing or printing (Correct answer)
- EDI templates can only be used for customs, while print templates are for accounting only
- EDI templates require Crystal Reports while print templates use XSLT
Correct answer: EDI templates format data for electronic interchange with trading partners, while print templates generate formatted documents for viewing or printing
EDI templates structure outbound data in formats like X12 or EDIFACT for machine-to-machine exchange, whereas print templates format documents for human consumption.
Question 2: When previewing a CargoWise document template during development, what data source is typically used to test field mappings?
- A dummy XML schema provided by WiseTech
- A live or sample CargoWise transaction record linked to the template (Correct answer)
- A separate test database installed alongside production
- Hardcoded static values entered directly into the template designer
Correct answer: A live or sample CargoWise transaction record linked to the template
CargoWise allows developers to link a live or sample transaction record when previewing, so the template renders with real field data to validate mappings.
Question 3: In the CargoWise Document Builder, what is the purpose of the 'Suppress Blank Lines' option on address-type fields?
- It hides the entire address block if no address is recorded
- It prevents empty address lines (e.g., Address Line 2) from creating blank gaps in the printed address (Correct answer)
- It converts the address to a single-line format automatically
- It removes punctuation from the address for EDI compliance
Correct answer: It prevents empty address lines (e.g., Address Line 2) from creating blank gaps in the printed address
Suppress Blank Lines removes empty lines within multi-line fields like addresses so that unused lines don't leave visible gaps on the printed document.
Question 4: Which CargoWise feature allows multiple document templates to be grouped and generated together as a single print job — for example, a Bill of Lading and a Packing List at once?
- Template Bundle
- Batch Print Group
- Document Set (Correct answer)
- Combined Output Profile
Correct answer: Document Set
A Document Set in CargoWise groups multiple templates so they can all be generated and output together in a single action.
Question 5: In a CargoWise Crystal Reports template, what is the typical use of a 'Parameter Field'?
- To define the paper size used during printing
- To pass a dynamic value (such as a shipment number) from CargoWise into the report at runtime (Correct answer)
- To set permissions on who can run the report
- To store a static lookup value inside the report file
Correct answer: To pass a dynamic value (such as a shipment number) from CargoWise into the report at runtime
Parameter Fields receive runtime values passed by CargoWise (like the active record's key) so the report can filter and display only the relevant data.
Question 6: When a CargoWise document template is marked as 'Active = No', what is the effect?
- The template is permanently deleted from the system
- The template no longer appears as an available option for generating documents (Correct answer)
- All previously generated documents using that template are removed
- The template reverts to its last saved draft version
Correct answer: The template no longer appears as an available option for generating documents
Setting a template to inactive hides it from the document generation menus while preserving the template and its history in the system.
Question 7: In CargoWise Template Builder, the 'Sort Order' field on a document template primarily controls what?
- The alphabetical order of fields within the template design
- The sequence in which the template appears in the document selection list relative to other templates (Correct answer)
- The order in which pages are printed
- The order in which subreports are executed
Correct answer: The sequence in which the template appears in the document selection list relative to other templates
Sort Order determines how templates are ranked in the selection list, allowing frequently used templates to be positioned at the top.
