Sherry Yes, I have studied the 'File ID' report. It comes close to a useable product but misses the mark because it cannot be exported as a CSV enabling cross-referencing. As a read-only function it only works in one direction: who (what RIN) has File ID PXXXX assigned to it. Not the other way around: What File IDs does this person (RIN) have assigned.
Further, it lacks the flexibility of the Name List Print function having field options available. With the File ID Report the programmers took the solution half way. It would seem with relatively minor adjustments the entire cross-reference package would be available to everyone using File IDs for cross-referencing. All that is needed is to modify the File ID report to permit CSV download and the field options available with the Name List Print function. Please pass this along to the programmers. This enhancement would be a service to a large number of Legacy subscribers who use the File ID as it was intended.
