PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS

 

 

The Previous Complaints page gives you the ability to look back at complaints from any day except today.  Select the dates for which you want to see complaints from the date selections on the left side of the header.

By default, the date picker is set to yesterday.  Start date is the first date in the range you want to see. End date is the last date.

Below these date pickers, you will find Date Selection.

 

 

Use Date Selection to choose between Complaint Date, Missing From, and Missing To dates.
