Bulletins

In this video we will learn how to view Bulletins, the functionality of the Bulletins Page, and how to set up a Bulletin Push.

A Bulletin is published by either Transport4, a Terminal, or a Carrier. This feature is most commonly used to communicate issues that impact a large number of users such as Allocations, Line Outages, Product Lifting Dates, etc.

The best way to view a Bulletin is in your Inbox. We highly recommend setting up a bulletin Push, feel free to skip to timestamp 03:09 to learn how.

Here is an example of one type of Bulletin you will see.
*Carriers will have different formats and ways to send Bulletins

The following icons are not exclusive to Bulletins. They are available on every T4 page.

To Search for Bulletins, you can Search by Keyword or Carrier Code.
Enter the criteria and click Search Bulletins.

You can Sort and Filter your Bulletins.
*The most common sort option is Favorites, Read, and Date

You can set the default sort order of Bulletins on the list by clicking on the drop-down

Filtering allows you to remove Carriers whose Bulletins you do not need to see.
*Simply click on the Box to see the Bulletins for only that Carrier.

If you have read your Bulletin, you can either click on the checkbox next to the message and mark as read or it will be marked as read automatically when you read the next Bulletin.

Similarly, if there is a Bulletin that has been Read and you want to mark it as Unread, Click on the Checkbox next to the Bulletin and Click on the Envelope to mark it as Unread.

If there is a Bulletin that you will need to refer to often, such as a Carrier Calendar, you can mark it as a Favorite.
*Simply click the checkbox next to the bulletin and click on the Star to Mark as Favorite.
