Viewing Transaction Details DAEJA VIEWONE * PLUG-IN In order to view images with the web application, you will need the Daeja ViewONE plug-in. The first time you select an image for viewing, the Daeja ViewONE installer will automatically be displayed on screen. Select the box to Always trust content from Daeja Image Systems and then click the Yes button to install the Daeja ViewONE plug-in. After the installation process is complete, the image you selected will be displayed. Any other images selected after this will display automatically inside the ViewONE plug-in. No further installation is required. VIEWONE USER GUIDE On any screen in the application, click the Help link on the main menu. The system will display the Help page: From here you can view this user guide, and the Daeja ViewONE user guide. Both guides will be displayed in HTML format in a new browser window. 11

VIEWING TRANSACTIONS From the Transaction Search Results page you can click one of the links (corresponding to a cheque, Invoice, Correspondence or Envelope) in the transaction tree to view the image associated with that document. For instance, clicking on the Cheque Serial Number link for the cheque in the above example would produce the following image opened in a pop-up window: The Transaction Image page displays a summary of the Transaction details including the Date, Transaction Number, Batch Reference Number, Cheque Total, Invoice Total, and Payor Name (if applicable). Directly below the Transaction summary is an Image Summary section that displays the total number of cheques and documents associated to the transaction. The image summary also tracks the current image being viewed by displaying an image sequence number along with the total number of respective images. For instance, when viewing the 11 th of 23 invoices associated to a transaction, the Image summary section will display Invoice: 11 of 23. As seen in the example above, when viewing the only Cheque belonging to a transaction, Cheque: 1 of 1 is displayed. The bottom of the Transaction Image page has buttons for browsing through images within a single transaction (using the buttons and ) or images of other transactions listed on the results page (using the buttons and ). These navigation buttons will be disabled (denoted with a different colour ) if they are not applicable. For instance, if the user is viewing the first image associated to a transaction, the button to access the previous image will be disabled, as can be seen in the above example. 12

Only one Image screen will be open at a time. If you attempt to view another image by clicking on an image link from the Transaction search results page, a new Image screen will not appear, instead the new image will be displayed on the Image screen already open. The Image screen will automatically be closed if the user browses the Sets of Invoices (belonging to any transaction) on the Transaction search results page or if the user browses the pages of results. This automatic closing of the Image screen ensures the information displayed on the Image screen is consistent with the information displayed on the Transaction Search Results page. For instance, automatically closing the Image screen when the user browses to a different set of Invoices associated to a transaction will ensure the user cannot view an Invoice from a Set different than the Set displayed on the results page for the respective transaction. Assorted Documents include invoices, envelopes and correspondence images associated with the transaction. Your company specifies which lockbox documents are imaged during lockbox setup. 13

Reports Users can search for their lockbox reports as well as download and print them for reference. You can view the following: Historical Reports Current Day Activities Intra-day - all existing activity for the lockbox until the end of day is reached. End of day - all activity in the lockbox for the selected day. To search for lockbox reports, click the Reports link on the navigation bar or the Reports link on the left side main menu bar. SEARCHING FOR A REPORT There are three search tabs: Date, Intra-day and End-of-day. The Date tab searches for historical reports, the Intra-day tab searches for reports created before the end of the day, while the End-ofday tab searches reports created after the selected lockbox s end-of-day has been reached for today. Date is the default tab displayed when you click on the Reports link. DATE SEARCH TAB The system will use the search criteria you enter on the Date tab to search for reports. Unlike viewing transaction images, you can only search for reports by lockbox and processing date. To search for reports within a date range, enter the search dates on the Date tab and click the search button. The system will display the Report List page: 14

The system will save the processing dates that you entered so that you can edit them and search again. You can also click new search to go back to the search page with your processing dates restored to the defaults. You can then enter new dates and try again. The Report List page displays all available end-of-day reports for the period of time that you entered in the search criteria. This page also lists the date(s) and type of the reports.

INTRA-DAY SEARCH TAB Click the Intra-Day tab on the Reports page to view all available transaction information for the current day. The system will display a search screen: Using the drop-down menu, select the lockbox that you would like to view. Click the search button. If there has been some activity in the lockbox and the end-of-day has not been reached, the system will display the Intra-Day Summary screen: 15

If there has been no activity in the lockbox for the day, the system will display a message to inform you. The Intra-Day Summary page displays the lockbox s current day activity up to now. There may be more results available later in the day as more processing is done for the lockbox. This screen is only available for a lockbox before it has reached its end of day. After that you will have to use either the Date or End-of-day tabs. You can click the new search link to go back to the search page. END-OF-DAY SEARCH TAB Click the End-of-day tab on the Reports page to view all transaction data for the current day. The system will display a search screen: The results for this tab are only available once the end-of-day for the lockbox is complete.

The system will display the End-of-Day Reports page, with the activity report shown: 16

The activity and deposit reports are online copies of what you receive in the daily backup or electronically. You can download the reports as a text file, or you can view them by clicking the right arrow. DOWNLOADING REPORTS While browsing your lockbox reports, the system gives you three options to download them: as a zip file from the Report List page, as a zip file from the End-of-Day Summary page, and as a text file when you view the reports. To download the selected lockbox s end-of-day reports in a zip file from the Reports List page, simply select the pdf or text report format and click the download button available beside each report.
