# Terminals

> The yards, ports and terminals you ship in and out of, with their contacts and order history.

**Terminals** is your list of yards, storage lots, auctions, ports and any other fixed location you
ship in and out of — so an agent picking a terminal on a shipment is choosing from a list you
maintain instead of retyping an address.

## A terminal record

| Field                          | Notes                                                                      |
| ------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Name** and **DBA name**      | The legal name and the name everyone actually uses.                        |
| **Address, city, state, ZIP**  | Used on dispatch sheets and driver instructions.                           |
| **Contact name, phone, email** | The main contact.                                                          |
| **Comment**                    | Gate hours, where to check in, which door — the things drivers call about. |

## Ports and ocean shipping

If your organization does ocean shipping, **Settings → Business** also gains **Ports** and
**Port Route** tabs for port-to-port, port-to-door and door-to-port routing. Those are separate
from terminals — see [Business](/settings/business).

## Importing terminals

Bulk import is under **Settings → Lead Management → Import data**.
