If you have permission to manage financial statements, you can customize the order in which the items in a financial statement display. You can change the order of both the:

  • Top-level items, such as groups, calculations, balances, headings and spacers, identified by the purple box in the image below.

  • Account groupings within the top-level groups, identified by the blue box in the image below. These groupings display when users add levels (dimensions) to statements to create nested views. In the image below, the account groupings display in alphabetical order, but you might want them to display in a different order.

  3. Repeat the above step to reorder the other items as required, then click Save.

  4. If you are finished customizing the financial statement, click Close > Yes to rebuild the database.
