1. The system displays the EC Transaction ID (electronic commerce transaction ID) and EC Queue Instance. The valid EC Transaction ID values are FAHEXTOP (Financial Aid History file) and TRALRTOP (Alert file).
2. Load Status - The system displays one of these values:
   1. Error: An error occurred while trying to process this record from the staging tables. Records with this status are not picked up by the batch process. Refer to the Error Code description below.
   2. Loaded: The record successfully loaded from the NSLDS staging tables into the application tables.
   3. Skipped: This status is either set manually on the Suspense Management page or by the batch process when Search/Match parameters are set to 'Ignore'. Records with this status are not picked up by the batch process. Refer to the Skip Reason description below.
   4. Suspended: The record did not load into the application tables because it did not meet the NSLDS load parameters. Records with this status are picked up by the batch process. Refer to the Suspend Reason description below.
   5. Unprocessed: The FA Inbound process loaded the record loaded into the NSLDS staging tables, but the Process NSLDS Load process has not yet been run for the record. Records with this status are picked up by the batch process.

3. NSLDS Manual Load Parameters
   1. ID: For records with a Load Status of Loaded, this field shows which ID the NSLDS data was loaded to - For records with a Load Status of Skipped or Suspended, the ID field may be blank or populated with one of the Search/Match results - For records with a Load Status of Suspended or Unprocessed records, you can use this field in conjunction with the ID Lock check box to manually match an ID to incoming NSLDS data.
   2. ID Lock:  Select to match the Suspended or Unprocessed NSLDS record to the specified ID. This works in conjunction with the ID field. In order to use the ID Lock option, the ID field MUST be populated. Using this option essentially bypasses Search/Match the next time this record is processed. Although Search/Match is bypassed, the record must still meet the other NSLDS Data Load Parameters in order to load to the application tables.
