What is this?

The Pattern Manager is where you can create, edit and delete your patterns. Patterns are key when sending Shipping Instructions via the CN eBusiness site as they're the starting point to most transactions with the tool.

When is it used?

The Pattern Manager is used everytime you send your Shipping Instructions to CN.
