PROCESSING INSTRUCTIONS

The following instructions are provided to assist you in setting your browser to print a Release from SupplyWEB on a single page:

• Click on the Download combo box and select to view the release in XML format, PDF format, or CSV format. You may also choose to download the release to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Notice that you may select the language to use when you view the release in comma delimited format.

  Note: When downloading data in CSV format, you must select the language native to the data. When downloading to a Windows machine, you must have a version of Windows which is capable of viewing a CSV file in the selected language.

• Click the Download button to download the release in the format you have selected. If you downloaded the release as a PDF document, use the printing capabilities of Adobe® Acrobat Reader to print the release.

Depending on your setup, different options may be required.

Note: The Extract Date and Time information will only display if the “extract-datetime” tag was present in the data transmission to your system. The "extract-datetime" tag is automatically transmitted in planning releases originating from the TRANS4M system. The time zone will also display when the date and time are present.
