Searching and Filtering Transactions


On most occasions searching and filtering for payments may become necessary. Searching for transactions is done on the History page.

The main features you will need on the Billbox History page to successfully search and filter are the Search Bar and the Date/Time Picker.

 

Date/Time Picker

The Date/Time Picker, like any other date/time picker tool, allows you to filter for specific periods in the transaction history.

You can use the quick date/time picker on the right (blue box), or select the Custom Range option for a more customized date/time filter (red arrow) using the calendar on the left.
Click Apply (black arrow) when you are satisfied with the programmed filter, to run it.
