Additional Information:

The User performing the capture needs to be assigned to a Cardholder Permission Group that has Capture Permissions for File Import. If they do not have this permission, then they cannot access this functionality as described. The Cardholder Permission Group permissions can be modified in the System Administration program by navigating to Administration > Users and accessing the Cardholder Permission Groups tab.
