Screenshot BS412S02-1
This is a staging screen. The transactions found in the downloaded file are listed but have not been imported at this stage.
Lines beginning with Yes will process.
Make sure the correct data appears in the appropriate columns.
Do not proceed if the date, amount etc fields appear to be incorrect.
ALSO: Make sure that you have selected the correct Bank to Import your transactions into (this is listed at the top of the screen)
 
You now have the opportunity to review the transactions and manipulate the transactions to be imported.

Right click in the list for special Multi-select Options.
Use the Exclude or Include buttons as explained below

Using the Exclude and Include buttons
Note that you have options to Exclude any selected transactions from the import, as shown in the screenshot above.
This feature may be useful if you have already manually entered transactions which appear in the data to be imported.
Right click in the list for special Multi-select Options.

The Reverse button
This will change Credits to Debits and vice-versa.

More info:-
This action is required in VERY rare cases.
In Bank Genie, purchases and other expenditure are entered as Debits.
Payments and other income are entered as Credits.

Most downloaded files align with this format.

Only one instance has been reported to contradict with this format.
In such a case, clicking the Reverse button will change your Debits and Credits to the format required in Bank Genie.

The Process button
When you have double checked that you have selected the correct Bank to receive the transactions in the downloaded file, continue with the Import by clicking the Process button
