Additional Features
Custom Period
As mentioned the Recall module will always try and keep you up to date. However, there may be some situations where you don't require to be up to date, or need to process future recalls. In either of there cases, on the Run tab there is a Custom Period tick box. Ticking this box will display a Date Picker which allows you to define when the Recall should be calculated up to.
Changing the date will automatically repopulate the totals in the Run column, taking into account all the filtering options you selected previously on the graph tab. You can then proceed with you recall run as normal.
