What this screen is for
Each chain is listed with its chain identifier, the entity identifier, the telemarketer identifier, a hash value, its status and when it was activated. Identifiers can be copied from the table, and a chain can be added, edited or deleted, optionally linked to one of your registrations and given activation and expiry dates.
When to use it
These values come from the operator DLT portal and are recorded here so your sends can be matched to the right entity and telemarketer. Add a chain when one is issued, and update the status when the portal shows it has changed - an expired or inactive chain is a reason messages stop being accepted.
What you see on this screen
Seven columns. Chain ID is the identifier the portal issued for the link, with a copy button. PE ID is your registered entity identifier. TM ID is the telemarketer identifier. Hash is the verification value, shortened in the table with the full value on hover. Status is the state of the chain. Activated is the date it came into effect. Actions holds edit and delete.
Adding or editing a chain asks for Chain ID (required), PE ID (required), TM ID (required), the DLT Registration it belongs to, Status (required), Activated Date, an Expires date and optional Notes.
With nothing recorded, the page asks you to register the PE-TM chain identifiers issued by the operator DLT portal.
Filters and actions
There is no search or filter. Add Chain records one; rows can be edited or deleted; Chain ID copies with one click. Deleting shows the chain, entity and telemarketer identifiers before you confirm.
Status values
Active - the chain is in force and sends under it are accepted. Inactive - the chain is recorded but not in force. Expired - its validity has lapsed. These mirror what the operator portal says rather than anything this app decides, so a chain marked Active here will not make sends succeed if the portal disagrees.
