To view and print invoices

You are presented with a web page that allows you to search two ways for the invoices you want to view and print.

1. The Standard Search selection provides either for search of a single invoice or search for a list of all invoices sent to an agency during a broadcast month.
   1. To search for a single invoice, you enter the invoice number you are seeking. The web server creates a view of your invoice using the data stored in the Industry Clearinghouse. Once the invoice is created, it is transferred to your machine over a secure (HTTPS/SSL) connection and displayed in a new window on your screen. You can print the invoice directly from that window.
   2. To search for all invoices you sent to an agency for a given month, you begin by selecting the first letter(s) of the agency name. All agencies starting with the letter(s) you selected will appear on your screen. Next, select an agency and a broadcast month. The web server will return a list of all invoices found. Then, you simply click on an invoice listed to view it. The web server creates a view of your invoice using the data stored in the Industry Clearinghouse. Once the invoice is created, it is transferred to your machine over a secure (HTTPS/SSL) connection and displayed in a new window on your screen. You can print the invoice directly from that window.
2. The Enhanced Search selection provides numerous options to perform more complex searches. Once search criteria are entered, Spotdata will return a list of invoices that meet those criteria. The list can be resorted by clicking on the column header to be sorted. One or more invoices can be selected for view and print. Once the invoices are created, they are transferred to your machine over a secure (HTTPS/SSL) connection and displayed in a new window on your screen. You can print the invoice directly from that window.
