Unknown Scans - Export

In Transvirtual, there is the ability to create an export rule for unknown scans. This rule sends out an update information about a consignment, to a location via FTP, Email, SMS etc. This page can be found under Import/Export > Data Export > Unknown Scans.
This article will run through a common setup that most Transvirtual users implement, sending Unknown Scans Notification.
