UPS Configuration

The carrier configuration page allows you to view and configure settings for UPS.

The page is divided into two sections:

  1. Carrier configurations for carrier-level settings and default settings.

  2. Service configurations that allow the administrator to enable/disable individual services and to override any header values.
