If the XML Exchange fails to pass the tracking ID's back to the SuperManager on occasion, you can manually export the tracking id's and then import them into the SuperManager via two methods...
1. "Text, XML format" Reommended
2. "Text, tab-delimited"


1. Instructions for "Text, XML format"

1.  Click "Postage" and then "Postage Log" in Dazzle/Endicia
2.  Click "File->Export"
3.  Enter the start and end date and then click "Export"
4.  In the file save dialog, change the "Save as type" dropdown menu to "Text, XML format"
5.  Enter a filename and then click "Save", noting the location of the file
6. In the SuperManager, click "File->Import->Dazzle/Endicia XML"
7. Select the file in the browse window that you exported in steps 1-5 above.
8. Click "Open" and the tracking id's will be imported for the dates you specified in step 3 above.


2. Instructions for "Text, tab-delimited format"

1. In the SuperManager, click "View->Program Settiings".
2. Click the "Import Formats" tab and then check to see if a "Dazzle/Endicia" type import format is already created.  If a "Dazzle/Endicia" import format is already created then skip to step 11, otherwise, continue with step 3.
3. Click the "Add" button and then enter a name for this import format ("Dazzle/Endicia text import").
4. Change the settings to the following
   a. "This Format imports:" -> shipments
   b. "Shipping Carrier:" -> Postal Service
   c. "Delimiters" -> Tab
   d. "Number of Header Lines:" -> 1
