How can I unzip files that are compressed?

Overview:

Users can download prescription files from Corteva Fields either directly from VRS or email. Prescription files downloaded from Corteva Fields are zipped. Zipped files are compressed to make them smaller, which makes them easier to download and share. These files need to be extracted so that they are in the correct format when they are saved to a USB or card before they are uploaded to the monitor. Other examples of zipped files can include shapefile boundaries sent to you via email or even harvest data downloaded from another software application. 

Requirements:

• Native Windows Zip utility.
• 7-Zip Utility Installed.
