Fields & buttons

Shows the location to which the files will be exported.
Mark this checkbox to save the new file name if you created one. By default, the program will retain the original file name.
Mark this checkbox if you wish to overwrite the existing file. If you do not mark this checkbox, the new file will be appended to the existing file.
Opens the Modify Location dialog to allow you to navigate to an alternate drive and folder for the export location.
Choose this option if you wish the export to include a complete transaction for each check.
Choose this option if you wish the export to include a summary transaction for all checks.
If you choose Summary, you will need to enter a reference and date for transactions.
Mark the Include individual check totals checkbox if you wish to create a debit transaction for each check for use with a bank reconciliation program. When this checkbox is marked, the employees' names will appear in the detail description column of the preview. The remaining transactions will be summarized. This checkbox is only available when the Summary option is chosen.
Enter a reference of up to 9 alphanumeric characters to be used for transactions. This reference is used in place of specific check information in the summary transaction. If you do not enter a reference in this field, the default reference P/R will be used.
