## 📋 Table Structure

### HTML Structure (Unchanged)
```html
<table class="shipment-table">
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>#</th>
            <th>AWB Number</th>
            <th>No.Of Box</th>
            <th>To Pay</th>
            <th>Date Added</th>
            <th>Status</th>
            <th>Weight</th>
            <th>Client Name</th>
            <th>Consignor</th>
            <th>Consignee</th>
            <th>Origin (State=>City->Pincode)</th>
            <th>Destination (State=>City->Pincode)</th>
            <th>Action</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody id="shipmentsTableBody">
        <!-- Empty initially - populated by JavaScript -->
    </tbody>
</table>
```

### Column Count
- **Total Columns:** 13
- **Header Visible:** Yes
- **Initial Data Rows:** 0

## 🔧 JavaScript Changes

### Before
```javascript
// Load initial data
function loadAllShipments() {
    $.get('api/shipment/read.php?length=-1', function (response) {
        // Load and display all shipments
        if (response.data && response.data.length > 0) {
            // Populate table with data
        }
    });
}

// Called on page load
loadAllShipments();
```

### After
```javascript
// No initial data load - table starts empty
// Data only loads when user searches or updates

// loadAllShipments() function still exists
// but is NOT called on page load
```

---

## 🚀 User Workflow

### Search and Update
```
1. Open Page
   ↓ (empty table with headers)
   
2. Search for Shipment
   ↓ (enter AWB number)
   ↓ (click Search)
   
3. View Shipment
   ↓ (shipment appears in table)
   ↓ (user sees one row)
   
4. Update Status
   ↓ (click Update button)
   ↓ (form appears)
   
5. Submit Update
   ↓ (tracking history displays)
```
