Page Header

Filter ItemsDescription
Auto Hide FiltersA non-required text box that defaults as checked and is used to determine if the Search Options should be hidden when the Inquiry runs or is refreshed.
  • When checked, each time the 'Refresh' button is clicked, the search options will be hidden, allowing for more rows of data to be visible on the page. This behavior is ideal for users that have entered their search parameters and want to see the results in full-screen. 
  • When unchecked, the search options will not be hidden when the 'Refresh' button is clicked. This behavior is ideal for users that need to run several searches with different search parameters.

Users can only change the default value of this setting with a custom search in the "Saved Searches" lookup. If you change the default setting but do not save it in a custom search, it will only remain this way while the page is opened.

Refer to this FAQ for advanced search options.

Auto Refresh on OpenA non-required text box that defaults as checked and is used to determine if the inquiry opens with or without data in the grid.
  • When checked, each time the page is opened, the search is run using the default parameters (or a 'Saved Search' if one was set as your default for the page) so the grid will be populated with data .  
  • When unchecked, the search is NOT run when the page opens and no data will be present until the 'Refresh' button is clicked. 

Users can only change the default value of this setting with a custom search in the "Saved Searches" lookup.

Refer to this FAQ for advanced search options.

Currency

Used to select one or more Currencies, as configured in the Currencies master file.  This is a multi-select lookup that is not required to return results. It defaults to the value 'All'. 

Date Range
A text box to identify the method for selecting a date range, a specific date, or a min/max date.

For help on using this control refer to the FAQ Article /wiki/spaces/HELP/pages/3108732991.

GL Period

Used to select one or more Fiscal Periods, as configured in the Fiscal Periods master file. This is a multi-select lookup that is not required to return results. It defaults to the value 'All'.

The lookup contains a list of all Fiscal Periods.

Fiscal Periods represent budgetary or accounting periods that fall within Fiscal Years. These often match the calendar where there are 12 periods, matching the calendar months. In organization where the fiscal year does not match the calendar year, Fiscal Periods may or may not match the number of days in a calendar month. Every transaction that posts to the general ledger contains a 'GL Date' and that date identifies both the Fiscal Year and Fiscal Period the transaction was posted to the general ledger in. 

GL Year 

Used to select one or more Fiscal Years. This is a text box to enter a GL Year to filter the data but is not required to return results. It defaults to the value 'All'.

The lookup contains a list of all Fiscal Years.

A Fiscal Year is a one-year period that companies use for financial reporting and budgeting. A Fiscal Year is most commonly used for accounting purposes to prepare financial statements. Fiscal Years often start on January 1st and end on December 31st. However, not all Fiscal Years correspond with the calendar year. For example, a company may run their Fiscal Year from May 1st - April 30th. Once a Fiscal Year has been determined, it is unlikely to ever change outside of a company sale and/or merger.

Posted Status 

A lookup to assign one or more conditions you want included in your search. This lookup contains:

  • Open
  • Posted
  • Replaced
  • Void

This field defaults to 'Open', 'Posted' and 'Void' being selected but can be updated at any time. 

Saved SearchesDisplays the saved searches lookup and related icons. This tool allows users to select previously saved search options, create a new set of search options, save changes to existing search options, forget/delete saved search options and/or assign a saved search option as the default for the page. Once changes are made to the search options, the user can click the Save Options icon and save the changes. Saving search options will also save the preferences for 'Auto Refresh on Open' and 'Auto Hide Filters'. The new search option can also be set as the default.  Default searches can be removed by clicking the 'Set as Default' button again when the current default search is selected.
