Reports
The “Linked Representatives Report” is available in the NLAD staging environment and the production environment. Once Representative IDs are successfully linked to accounts, this report will provide information about the representatives associated with the ETC Administrator’s or Form 497 Officer’s SPINs. A user guide for the report can also be found in both environments.
