Introduction

In addition to showing mail pieces as part of an SSF, individual pieces can be sought out by a variety of factors. The search pages allow a user to search for a file, piece, or containers by specific identifying information.

Selecting the "Search" option opens a drop-down menu with all the ways to search for an individual mail piece. Selecting each option will open a separate search page.

Tracking Number

The Tracking Number Search searches detail records for all mail pieces created with a specific tracking number.

  1. Tracking Number - The results returned depend on the value entered in this field. Enter a whole or partial tracking number to find all mail pieces with a matching tracking number.
  2. Exact Match - Checking this box narrows the results returned by the search to only those that have the exact same tracking number as the value entered in the Tracking Number field.
  3. Activity Period - This drop-down menu filters results by the time frame during which the mail piece was generated. Results can be filtered by those created in the last 24 hours, last 7 days, 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, the last 6 months, or the last year.
  4. Go Button - Hitting the Go button applies all selected filters to the results. Results will not populate without hitting this button.
    Show _ entries - This drop-down menu adjusts how many results are displayed per page. Result can be shown 10, 25, 50, or 100 per page.
  5. Filter - The site results can be narrowed by entering identifying information in the filter bar, which will limit results by sites that contain the filtered value in at least one field.
Note:
There must be at least ten digits entered in the "Tracking Number" field, or the site will not be able to return any results. This is because a shorter string of numbers returns too many results and overloads the search function.

The Tracking Number results will be returned in the same layout as the header records piece detail section, as described in the "Header Page" article.
