File Management Summary

The File Management Summary screen is the landing page for the File Management tab. This screen is the central place from which to monitor transmissions and subsequently take an action on selected batches.

This screen consists of three sections. The top section is a filter/search function designed to aid you with locating a particular file on the list. The second section contains a table with the file listing, paging functionality to manage the list and possible actions or navigation buttons that may be performed on a selected file.
