You can sort the transactions based on only one of the following list items except Check Num/Ref Num, Balance, and Academic Year Sequence (A/Y). You can view the balance only when you sort the transactions by transaction date. An arrow icon appears next to the column name in the column header to indicate that the transactions are sorted by that column. The default sort for the transactions is the Transaction Date.
You can also print receipts, registration bills, and ledger card transactions, and you can delete or void transactions and return checks from the More menu.
