GL Account Format Record View
A GL Account Segment is a specific part of a GL Account. Every GL Account contains at least 1 segment referred to as the "Natural Account" but some companies require additional structure to segment Natural Accounts by things like Companies, Divisions, Departments,, etc. GL Account Segments are typically separated by "-" (e.g. 2000-00).
Each time a new GL Account is added, the individual Segment values are automatically added to this page. The purpose of this page is to Add/Edit segment values within a GL Account Segment.
This is only for information, there is no existing NorthScope functionality tied to this feature.

| Grid Layout | Opens the Saved Grid Layout menu that allows the user to select another saved layout, create a new layout, save changes to a layout, or assign a saved layout as the default for the page. Once changes are made to a grid, such as columns are added or removed, the user can click the Saved Grid Layout icon and save the changes to the grid layout and name the new layout. The new layout can also be set as the default, instead of the System View. This is useful for creating specific views to separate master files or transaction types (i.e. Invoice specific vs. Credit Memo specific).
