When you access the Financial Statements module, the first statement you see and the way it looks is determined by the ‘standard view’ that is set up the person in your organization who has permission to manage financial statements. That view is based on a default period (timeframe) that is applied to the underlying financial database. You can change this default period, so that a particular date range applies to the financial statements each time you open them.
Error rendering macro 'excerpt-include' : No link could be created for 'Set the default period for a database'.
You can also change the period temporarily when you are viewing a statement.
