Message History (SIF Unity)

Tool Search: Message History

The Message History tool allows users to generate a report which includes detailed information about messages sent for a specific SIF object within a specific time frame. This report allows you to review recent SIF data activity and can be used to verify configuration and troubleshoot any errors that have occurred during the exchange of data.

SIF Unity tools are only available for SIF v3.X or higher. Currently, SIF Unity is only available in Virginia.
