   Note: If you drilled down through your Daily Summary or changed your view to a particular agent, chain, or merchant, some or all of the hierarchy will already be populated in the BIN, Agent ID, Chain ID, and Merchant ID fields.

4. To narrow the query results, continue entering information in the fields. Data entry in these fields is not required.
5. In the Start Date and End Date fields, type a date (mm/dd/yyyy) or select a date from the Calendar Control .

   You can also type a number in the Day(s) field to query a particular number of days prior to the end date.

You can query up to seven days of authorization data in a single query.
