You may save settings as a template of Rate Notification. But note that a reseller's rate notification template will be overridden by the existing rate export template.

Tip

Rates sorting will be made by the very first column. For example, if you want rates to be sorted by A-Z destination name, make Code Name your first column.

 Please note, that for reseller's rate notification, existing rate export template settings have higher priority than personal.
