You can create templates with default information so you do not need to fill in the same information every time you make a new shipment. This will simplify the registration of new shipments and you can create several different templates for different types of shipments. 

You can customize your template by hiding the sections you do not need and thus control what the Create Consignment page should look like and what fields should appear. You can configure in the template which sections of the page should be minimized and which should be expanded by clicking the -/+ sign to the left of the title in each section.
