Select this to view a list of the UltraTax CS personal property tax returns for which the current association is used.

     set up a primary association for the current client, this checkbox appears in the Association Properties window for all associations that maintain lists.
    Marking this checkbox causes the current association to move to the primary association box in the Associations window. To set default association values and an asset class based on the value chosen for the primary association, select Wizard Setup in the Association window.

    have
     set up a primary association for the current client, this checkbox only appears in the Association Properties window for the primary association.

Choose between two kinds of associations group box

When setting up a custom association, you must choose whether or not the association will maintain a list of acceptable values.
Select this option if you are creating a custom association for which each asset will have a unique value. For example, you would select this if you were setting up an association for a check number, because the check number for each asset is unique.
Select the format for the custom association you are adding.
  • Text:
     Select
    Text
     if the entries for this custom association will include an alphanumeric string. For example, you would select text as the data format if you were creating a Check Number association where the entry is unique for each asset.
  • Date:
     Select
    Date
     if the entry for this custom association will always be a date. For example, you would select date as the data format if you were creating a Maintenance Date association.
  • Currency:
     Select
    Currency
     if the entry for this custom association will always be a dollar amount. For example, you would select currency as the data format if you were creating a Sales Tax association.
  • Checkbox
     and
    Number:
     These formats are available only for application-defined associations that do not maintain lists. These data formats are not available for custom associations.
Select this option if you want to maintain a list of acceptable values for the custom association you are entering. Once entered, the acceptable values are available from the dropdown list for each association. For example, if you modify the Groups association to include Equipment, Vehicle, and Land/Building as acceptable values, then Equipment, Vehicle, and Land/Building will be available from the dropdown list in
Groups
 during asset data entry.
This list shows the acceptable values that have been entered for the current association. These values are available from the dropdown list for the association in the Asset Detail window during asset data entry.
Use this box to enter, edit, or view the name of an association value.
  • To
    add
     a new acceptable value to the list, select Add, enter the name of the association in this box (up to 25 characters), then select Enter.
  • To
    edit
     the name of an existing acceptable value, select the association in the list, select Edit, edit the name that appears in this box, then select Enter.
