Batch Search Filters

The Filters group box on the Search/Action Batches screen is used to locate batches. Found batches will display as a batch list.

To find a batch or a group of batches type and/or select search criteria in the Filters fields (as described in the tables below) and then click the button. Basic Filter is the default selection menu. You can click the Advanced Filter radio button to expand the selection menu (see image below).

By default and before any filtering action is taken, a list of batches will display that includes any batch you have modified within the last seven days.

Basic Filter

Field Name	Field Description
Last Modified Start/End	By default, searches will include batches that were modified within the last seven days. You can change the date range for search by changing the dates in the Start or End fields. Type dates using the DDMMYY format or click the Calendar button to select a date from the Calendar dialog box.
Scope	The list of displayed batches is dependent on a user's profile. If you are authorized to only update US/CA fares, the scope of the list will be US/CA. If you are authorized to only updated international fares, the scope of the list will be International. If you are authorized to updated both types of fares, searches will, by default, include batches created for both International and US/CA fares. Select either International or US/CA from the drop-down menu to limit the search to only the specified fare type.
Carrier	Type a carrier code to limit the search to batches created only for the specified carrier. You can only view batches created for your organization unless special authorization has been granted.
Tariff	To limit the search to a specified fares or arbitrary tariff, type the tariff code in the Tariff field.
User ID	By default, your user ID will be present in the User ID field. You can type another user's ID in the field to search for a list of his or her batches. However, you will only find batches that you are authorized to view.

Advanced Filter

Field Name	Field Description
Effective Date Start/End	Type dates using the DDMMYY format in the Start or End fields or click the Calendar button to select a date from the Calendar dialog box to limit your search to find only batches with effective dates that fall within the specified range.
Status	Select a status from the drop-down list to limit your search to find only batches that hold the specified status. List options include: Validated—The batch has been created. This does not refer to the status of any of the transactions in the batch. Not Distributed—The batch has been applied. Available for Filing—This applies to international and add-on tariffs only. The batch has been released and is ready to be filed in GFS. Released In Progress—The batch is currently being processed in GFS. Scheduled Secured Awaiting Distribution—This applies to US/CA tariffs only. The batch has been released and is being held for a subscriptions release. Distributed—The batch has completed subscription processing. Deleted—The batch has been deleted.
Distribution Time	Select a distribution time from the drop-down list to limit your search to find only batches that hold the specified time. All times shown are US Eastern Time.
Extend. Purge	Select Yes from the drop-down list to limit your search to find only batches that have been tagged for an extended purge cycle.
Batch ID	The Batch ID field in the Advanced Filter works differently than the Batch ID fields on the top of the Search/Action batches screen. This field is used to perform wild card searches for batches. If you type a carrier code in the first field and the number 1 in the second field, the search will include all batches for the specified carrier in which the batch number contains the number 1. For example, that search criteria would include batch numbers 00031, 11111, 44111, and any other batch number with a 1.
GFS FAN	To find a list of batches filed within a specific GFS filing, type the date of the filing in the date field (the first field) or click the Calendar button to select a date from the Calendar dialog box. In the second field, type the FAN (filing advice number). Filing advice numbers include the filing completion date and an identifying code consisting of a letter followed by two numbers. For example, 23MAY08-F55. FANs are automatically assigned by GFS when a filing completes.
Work Unit	Work units are essentially comments that may or may not be used in batches. There are no rules on the use of work units; users develop their own logic. For example, if your department is divided into four teams, the first team may want to type "01" in the work unit field of all their batches. By default, searches will include batches without regard to work units. Type known work unit comments in the Work Unit field to limit your search to find only batches that hold the specified comment. The work unit comment you type must be exact.
Org.	The Org. (organization) field in a batch is automatically populated by the program when a batch is created. The organization that created the batch is shown in the field. Any batch created by your company will show your carrier code. Batches created by employees of ATPCO will display the code "ATP". By default, searches include batches without regard to the organization code. However, you may type a code in the field to limit your search to find only batches that hold the specified code.
Locked	To find a list of batches that are locked, select Yes from the drop-down list in the Locked field.
Last User	Type a person's user ID in the Last User field to find a list of batches that were last modified by the specified person.
