It is important to review the Download Report to confirm that downloads are received from all carriers that you are expecting transactions from, and to verify that downloads are matched and processed as needed.
The Download Report indicates what downloads have been received, and whether they have been matched to policies or sent to Unmatched Downloads.
How downloads are matched
When possible, HawkSoft automatically matches downloads to a policy on a client, and then processes the download according to your Download Rules. Depending on the type of download, the matching criteria is slightly different.
If a matching policy is not found, the download is sent to the Unmatched Downloads to be manually matched and processed.
Once matched, depending on your configuration in Download Task Rules, downloads can create a Task for a selected user to review.
See Download Rules for more information.
