Modify View Of Structure

Explanation

This activity is used to modify the view of the package structure. You can either expand, collapse, set as root, and reset as root on different levels in the structure. You can also make modifications to the automatically created package structure by adding, deleting, or moving packages and handling units within the structure as desired.

You should note that whenever changes are made to the structure, it is important to reprint shipment documents and labels. This will therefore ensure, correct shipment documents and labels that include information based on the changed structure.
