Uninstall eSAT

When you uninstall eSAT, the process doesn't remove data you've created using eSAT. To delete the repository, you'll need to open the directory you specified in preferences when you installed eSAT and manually delete the files.

It is recommended you save and/or print any prior lodgments before uninstalling eSAT as you may not be able to open file types in the directory and will not be able to reinstall the program after it has been uninstalled. We are also unable to provide you with a copy of your prior lodgments.

You can export your funds lists (Fund Name and ABN) in a CSV file:

  • Click Administration
  • Click Import/Export
  • Click Export funds
  • Select the location to export the CSV file to and then select the Export button.

The system will then close the window and you will see a message stating the export process was successful.

Selecting the Cancel button will cancel the export.
