Adjusting Fund Report Settings

Intro

The “Fund Report Settings” page allows you to manage account periods associated with the complexes in your database (i.e., view or adjust their open/closed status and specify the day after which they should auto-close), and also specify the various libraries that each fund in a given complex will utilize for captioning, footnotes, currencies, etc.

A listing of the account periods associated with a given complex, together with their corresponding open/close statuses, can also be exported to various file formats from this page.
