In this article, you'll learn how to identify a transaction's source and status so you can quickly understand how it was added to your account.

Note: Currently, this feature is available only for Simplifi Basic subscribers with Early Access enabled, and only via the web app.

  2. Click the name of the account you want to enable this column for.

  3. Locate the Transactions section.
