  • Release Records for Export Tab - When a file is sent out from PMWeb by Integration Manager it is automatically flagged to prevent it from being sent again. If you wish to remove the Sent flag from one or more files you can do so using this tab. Use the filters to narrow down the number of files show in the table, select the ones you wish to remove the flags from, and click the Release Selected Records button.
  • Rejection Logs Tab - When records are brought in to PMWeb, Integration Manager enforces all of the business rules and settings defined in the system. If incoming records are found to violate any of these, or if required information is missing from the incoming files, they are not brought in and a log entry is made in this tab.
