Users can also **create new shipments** directly from this page to manage and track the delivery process efficiently.

## Page tools

Users with the **Update** production permission see two buttons at the top right of the page:

- **Columns** – Choose which columns of the shipments table are shown. The columns include **Tracking #**, **Order Numbers**, **Carrier** and **Status**.
- **Create Shipment** – Open the **Create New Shipment** dialog.

On **Active Shipments**, the filter bar lets you filter by **Status**, **Priority** and **Supplier**, and two icon buttons switch between the table view and the kanban view.

## Create a new shipment

Click **Create Shipment** to open the **Create New Shipment** dialog: "Create a shipment for one or more production orders with multiple destinations". See [Create a shipment](https://docs.vestislabs.com/production/production-shipping-create-shipment/) for every field.

> You can also create a shipment from the **Shipping** tab of an order. See [Shipping tab of a production order](https://docs.vestislabs.com/production/production-order-shipping/).
