🔖 This article is part of the BorderConnect Software User Guide |
The ACE eManifest Details Page is the central workspace for managing U.S. truck manifests in BorderConnect. From this page you can review trip information, monitor CBP responses, add drivers, equipment, and shipments, generate driver lead sheets, and transmit data to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
You will return to this page frequently while building, reviewing, and tracking each manifest.
