Frequently Asked Questions How do we view all cardholders and balances in Online Services? There are 3 options: 1. You can go to the ‘Expenses’ tab, then ‘View Transactions’ and run this report which will list all cardholders and their current spending activity 2. You can access ‘Standard Reports’ and run the ‘Transaction Report’ 3. At individual cardholder level (rather than all users), simply access ‘Statements’ then ‘View Transactions’ and search for the cardholder. You can then view their current status, transaction list or statement.
In ‘Manage Accounts’ what search criteria is the best to use to access accounts? This will depend on what information you have available. We would recommend that you search using the full 16 digit card number (‘Search by account’), however, you can search using the cardholder name. If you do not know the full name you can use * (asterisk) as a wild card either at the start, middle or end (or all three) in the search box. Alternatively just click GO and all results will be returned in paginated form.
How do we remove administrators who are no longer with the company? You will need to go to ‘Administration’ and then ‘Manage Users’ and locate the administrator (note: only Programme Administrators can do this). Again, there are multiple search options. Once located, select the blue edit button. On the next screen you can lock the user, or further down the screen you can delete the user. We would recommend locking.
When can I run reports? You can run reports whenever you want. The reports can be run and the data is then delivered into your output log. The report is retained in the log for 10 days.
33
Frequently Asked Questions What period of data can I search on? Reports and statements are available for a rolling 13 month period.
When inputting the corporate number it does not give a list of cardholders on the account? If customers are entering their corporate account number, the system will only return details of that corporate account. We would recommend that when searching, instead of specifying the corporate account, just leave all fields blank and select GO to get all results. Alternatively, it is possible to search by ‘unit’ number or name which will bring through the hierarchy. If you do not know the unit name or hierarchy, then leave all fields blank and select GO. The unit name will then be shown in the results.
What browsers are supported? Currently Internet Explorer version 7 (IE 7), IE 8, IE 9 and IE 10 are support browsers. However, as Microsoft are beginning to not support IE 7 or IE 8 we would recommended upgrading your browser to IE 9 or 10 as we may not be able to support these browsers in future.
