Excellent communication is vital to our collective success. Here at California Gas Transmission we strive to open communication lines in various ways. Listed below are various channels of communication available.

INSIDEtracc Notifications

CGT sends messages to customers using INSIDEtracc notifications. To view these messages, select Nominations, Notifications to navigate to this INSIDEtracc screen.

A screen will open displaying INSIDEtracc notifications sent out by CGT. Each column of information can be sorted by clicking on the column name. The default order keeps the most recent message listed at the top of the table, by date, and the oldest message at the bottom. An unread message will appear in bold font.

To read a message, click on the message title. The Notification Detail screen will open displaying any messages. You can print the message by clicking your browser's print icon. Click on the Cancel button to return to the previous screen.

To delete a message, check the Delete box, then click Submit. Several messages can be deleted at one time by checking the Delete box for the specific messages, then clicking Submit. All messages marked will be deleted.

If you wish to delete all messages, click the Mark All For Deletion button. A green check mark will display in the Delete box for each message. This button now toggles to Unmark All For Deletion, and can be used to undo the Delete box checks for all messages. Once your messages have been selected, click the Submit button.

If you are deleting any unread messages, a pop-up window will open with a message that you are deleting unread notifications. Click the Ok button to continue, or the Cancel button to return to the Notifications screen.

Nomination Deadlines

Nomination deadlines are all listed in INSIDEtracc, and can be found by navigating to Nominations, Nomination Deadlines. A screen will open displaying deadlines for the four processing cycles.

• Intraday 1 and Intraday 2 deadlines are shown for today's gas day
• Timely and Evening deadlines are shown for tomorrow's gas day

If a nomination deadline has been extended, it will display in this screen. A news article is posted on Pipe Ranger's home page when nomination deadlines are extended, and an INSIDEtracc notification is sent out.

Weekend/Holiday On Call Contact Information

By Thursday afternoon each week, an on call contact is posted on Pipe Ranger. The CGT weekend/holiday on call contact's name and phone number is shown on the home page in the blue navigation box on the right side of the page.
