Including batch data in transactions

Use this procedure to add data about processed batches to your transactions.

For example, with each form you can transfer its batch number and sequential number in the batch. This makes it easier to find the original paper form later on.

The batch variables that you can transfer are listed in the Available fields box in the Transaction description dialog. All except #BatchSize are included in both of the All fields… default transaction descriptions, even if no batch report layout file is associated with the form definition.

  1. In the Transaction description dialog, select each batch variable in the Available fields box and copy it to the transaction description by clicking the arrow.

  2. If user-defined batch variables are not listed:
