FAQs:
Our organisation classifies positive vs negative differently - what can we do with our reports?
We can give you the data so that you can map your positive destinations according to your specifications. For example, if you report that VOL - 1 would be a positive destination, we can provide you with the original raw data so that you can map all VOL - 1 destinations to a positive destination in your system.
