Texting History Tab

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page  Print this Topic

Use the Texting History tab to retrieve archived text messages and view the details of those messages. Archived text messages include any text message that has been created. This tab also allows you to narrow your search of text messages using a variety of search parameters. When an archived text message is selected, the details of the message are displayed in a pop-up dialog. You can also save your data to a CSV file.

 

Clicking on the (NTH_XButton) button on the search parameters either clears the field or sets the field to the default. Note: The When Added search parameter's default is from three months before yesterday's date to yesterday's date.

 

The Texting History tab can be used with the default search parameters or you can click the Advanced radio button to use the screen with the advanced search parameters. See the following examples of this tab followed by field and button descriptions.

Field Descriptions

 

Field

Description

Simple

Select this radio button to display the more simplified search parameters.

Advanced

Select this radio button to display additional search parameters beyond those used for the Simple search parameters. This is useful when you want to be very specific in your search to really narrow down the results.

Number of Records to Read

Enter the number of records you want displayed in the Texting History list view. If you enter a "10" in this field, only 10 text messages will be displayed in the Texting History list view. The maximum number of text messages allowed by the program is 500.

 

Note: This search parameter is available only in Advanced mode.

Recipient Phone Number

Enter the recipient's phone number for the text message(s) that you are searching for in this field. Note: The number must be entered in the following format: 1aaaeeedddd, where aaa is the area code, eee is the prefix, and dddd is the suffix.

Sender Phone Number

Select the sender's phone number for the text message(s) that you are searching for from this drop-down list. The drop-down list is automatically populated with the list of all numbers that have been used to send a text message. Note: The drop-down list contains only those numbers that have been used within the past year.

 

Note: This search parameter is available only in Advanced mode.

Message Body

Enter text from the message body of the archived text message(s) that you are searching for in this field.

 

Entering upper- or lower-case letters does not affect the search results. For example, entering "test" in this field brings up messages that contain the words "test," "Test," "TEST," "testing," "Testing," "TESTING," etc. You can also enter partial words.

 

The text must be entered in the order in which it appears in the message body. For example, if you enter "Just a reminder," text messages with "Just a friendly reminder" will not appear in the results because the word friendly does not match the text entered in the search parameter.

 

This field also supports wild-card characters. You can input an asterisk (*) to indicate that there are zero to more unknown characters or you can input a question mark (?) to indicate that there is exactly one unknown character. For example, if you enter "L*N," the search retrieves all results that include any combination of "L" and "N" with unknown characters in between, such as LOAN, LENDER, LEND, LENDING, LEPRECHAUN, etc. However, if you enter "L?N," the search retrieves only results that include a combination of "L" and "N" with only a single unknown character in between, such as LENDER, LEND, LENDING, etc.

When Added

Use the Calendar icon to select the date range. The text message(s) that were added to the queue within the Low and High date ranges selected will appear in the Texting History list view. Note: The When Added search parameter's default is from three months before yesterday's date to yesterday's date.

 

You can also change the date range by selecting parts of the date and entering in numbers. For example, selecting the month and entering a "1" changes the month to January. Selecting the day and entering "15" changes the day the the 15th of the month. Selecting the year and entering "2016" changes the year to 2016. The weekday changes automatically according to the month, day, and year selected.

When Sent

Use the Calendar icon to select the date range. The text message(s) that were sent within the Low and High date ranges selected will appear in the Texting History list view.

 

You can also change the date range by selecting parts of the date and entering in numbers. For example, selecting the month and entering a "1" changes the month to January. Selecting the day and entering "15" changes the day the the 15th of the month. Selecting the year and entering "2016" changes the year to 2016. The weekday changes automatically according to the month, day, and year selected.

 

Note: This search parameter is available only in Advanced mode.

Allow Empty Values on When Sent

Check this field to allow the results to display text messages that have an empty value for when they were sent. Text messages that are sent as Replies always have an empty value for when they were sent. So you must check this field to include Replies in the results.

 

Note: This search parameter is available only in Advanced mode.

Number of Attempts

Enter a numeric range for the number of times the program attempted to send a text message. You can also enter a value and then change that value using the Up and Down Arrow keys on your keyboard. The text message(s) that were sent within the Low and High numeric range will appear in the Texting History list view. Note: The system does not allow you to set a Low value that is higher than the High value.

 

Note: This search parameter is available only in Advanced mode.

Success

Select TRUE or FALSE from this drop-down field. Selecting TRUE displays messages that were sent successfully. Selecting FALSE displays messages that failed to send.

Back-Reference Type

Enter the back-reference type (e.g., Loan, Lender, etc.) for the text message(s) that you are searching for in this field. This is the Account Number type and is used to help determine the value of the branch associated with the account. This is useful because lender numbers and account numbers are formatted differently and format the branch number differently.

 

This field also supports wild-card characters. You can input an asterisk (*) to indicate that there are zero to more unknown characters or you can input a question mark (?) to indicate that there is exactly one unknown character. For example, if you enter "L*N," the search retrieves all results that include any combination of "L" and "N" with unknown characters in between, such as LOAN and LENDER. However, if you enter "L?N," the search retrieves only results that include a combination of "L" and "N" with only a single unknown character in between, such as LENDER.

Back-Reference Value

Enter the number for the back-reference value for the text message(s) that you are searching for in this field. This is the value of the account number in the system.

 

This field also supports wild-card characters. You can input an asterisk (*) to indicate that there are zero to more unknown characters or you can input a question mark (?) to indicate that there is exactly one unknown character. For example, if you enter "L*N," the search retrieves all results that include any combination of "L" and "N" with unknown characters in between, such as LOAN, LENDER, LEND, LENDING, LEPRECHAUN, etc. However, if you enter "L?N," the search retrieves only results that include a combination of "L" and "N" with only a single unknown character in between, such as LENDER, LEND, LENDING, etc.

Back-Reference Source

Enter the back-reference source (e.g., CIM, Afterhours, etc.) for the text message(s) that you are searching for in this field. This is the program or system that generated the message.

 

This field also supports wild-card characters. You can input an asterisk (*) to indicate that there are zero to more unknown characters or you can input a question mark (?) to indicate that there is exactly one unknown character. For example, if you enter "L*N," the search retrieves all results that include any combination of "L" and "N" with unknown characters in between, such as LOAN, LENDER, LEND, LENDING, LEPRECHAUN, etc. However, if you enter "L?N," the search retrieves only results that include a combination of "L" and "N" with only a single unknown character in between, such as LENDER, LEND, LENDING, etc.

Reason Suppressed

Use the drop-down field to select the reason the archived text message(s) that you are searching for was suppressed. You can select one reason or a range of reasons.

To select one reason, select the same reason in both the Low and High drop-down fields.

To select a range of reasons, select a reason from the Low drop-down field and a different reason from the High drop-down field. All of the reasons that are listed between those two reasons are displayed. Note: To select a range of reasons, you must put the reason with the lower number in the Low drop-down field and the reason with the higher number in the High drop-down field.

Is Reply

Select TRUE or FALSE from this drop-down field. Selecting TRUE displays messages that were sent as a reply. Selecting FALSE displays messages that were not sent as a reply. Replies are when a customer uses their phone to reply to a message that your institution sends to them.

 

A message that is neither a response or a reply is a message that is automatically generated by the system.

Is Foreign

Select TRUE or FALSE from this drop-down field. Selecting TRUE displays messages that were sent outside of the United States. Selecting FALSE displays only messages that were sent within the United States.

 

Note: This search parameter is available only in Advanced mode.

Is Response

Select TRUE or FALSE from this drop-down field. Selecting TRUE displays messages that were sent as a response. Selecting FALSE displays messages that were not sent as a response. A response is when your institution responds to a customer. For example, a customer sends a reply back to your institution and then one of your institution's employees sends a response back to that customer, typically using the Client Text Notifications screen.

 

A message that is neither a response or a reply is a message that is automatically generated by the system.

Texting History List View
