New support for search multiple containers
We've added support for searching for a list of containers on the Container index page.
When an action, such as relocating or adding holds, is requested for a list of multiple containers via email or direct messaging the list of containers can be copied to your clipboard from the email or message and pasted directly into the Container Numbers filter field in Octopi. Then simply filter the search results, select all of the filtered container, and apply the batch action.

Introducing Waybills
A waybill is used to determine the origin and destination of a containers operated through a rail visit.
Cargo can have multiple waybills associated with it. The last waybill created will be considered as active. Similar to bookings and bills of lading for cargo on an ocean voyage, a waybill provides for rail operations information about the container weight, container status, and an approval from the rail carrier.
Containers are associated to waybills by the processing of 417 EDI message.
