  • What Do The Single Touch Button Colours Mean?

Answer

The button colour highlights the result of the most recent Single Touch message response.

  • Blue means this pay currently has no messages sent.
  • Grey means the message has been sent and is awaiting a response, or that a new message has been received and you need to view it.
  • Green means the ATO successfully processed your STP event.
  • Red means there is an unsuccessful or failed STP response message.
