Searching for a Payment
You can filter the Payments Table either by Pay Via Type or by Affiliate by using the search bar at the top of the page.
To use the search bar, click on the search bar and a drop-down menu of filters will appear. You can either type-in the filter or click on it from the menu. If typed-in, then the search operator (such as "=" or "like") will not appear, but you can type those in as well, and then finish the search by the actual value you wish to filter by. By using the drop-down menu, all of the values and operators will be shown, and typing in the values will narrow the search to specific values-based off of what you have typed into the search bar.
Once finished, click the magnifying glass icon to the right of the search bar or hit the "Enter" key on your keyboard. The table will then only show results based off of your search.
Sorting Payment Table
You can also sort the table by clicking the button to the right of the magnifying glass.
Sorting options include sorting by Payment ID, Stored Date, the start of the Date Range, Amount, or Affiliate Username, as well as in Ascending or Descending order. You can also choose to have more or less results per page by clicking the bottom of the widget and choosing how many results will be displayed per page.
Managing a Payment
Payments can be edited and stored through this page. To do so, click on the "Actions" button to the right of the payment and click "Edit Payment". A widget will appear where you can set the stored date, paid date, and add a reference for the payment.
When finished, click the "Save Changes" button.
If a payment is not stored yet or you wish to store the payment a different way, you can click the "Actions" button and click "Store Payment" to store the payment at that date and time.
