Administer the VxData portal

Current Administration pages require the Administrator role. The deployed application can expose account/user-party assignment, settings/issues, Velox Flow mappings, parties and relationships, products/UOM/temperature data, addresses, interfaces, applications, partners and shipment reference data.

Administration families

FamilyTypical impact
Accounts, users and user-party assignmentsPortal sign-in/role and which party-owned records a user can access.
Settings and issuesDeployment/application behaviour; values can include Velox service host/port configuration. Treat unknown system settings as deployment-owned.
Velox FlowsMaps portal action codes to Action FIDs, labels and display/download behaviour.
Parties and relationshipsOwnership, billing, customer/supplier/carrier/location/consignor/consignee relationships and external codes.
Products, quantities, UOM and temperatureTransaction choices and party-specific codes/units.
Addresses and geographic mappingTransaction address selection/normalisation and related lookup data.
Interfaces, applications, partners and shipment reference dataIntegration routing, defaults, types, services, statuses and partner mappings.

Change reference data safely

  1. Confirm the production/test portal and obtain business-data approval.
  2. Search for an existing record before creating one; verify code, name, party and effective use.
  3. Check dependent transactions, portal filters/ownership, mappings and Velox integrations.
  4. Make the smallest change and save once.
  5. Reopen the record and test one affected portal and integration workflow.

Role membership does not replace data ownership. Codes and relationships can be used by Velox integrations and external partners; renaming, disabling or duplicating them can change routing and reporting. Do not enter secrets in ordinary settings or reference fields. Treat System Setting records as deployment-owned unless the relevant runbook explicitly authorises a change.

If a change causes errors, stop related actions, restore the previous governed value where safe and retain record identifiers, timestamps and error evidence. Database/schema repair belongs to the database runbook, not portal editing.
