It allows authorized users to manage and define key data that drives operational efficiency and ensures consistency across modules. This enables the setup and maintenance of foundational entities such as users, locations, cost components, and custom brokers, which are essential for planning, execution, and billing.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://cargospot.gitbook.io/cargospot/settings/data-setup.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
