Use account segments in Report Designer

Account segments help you customize your reports to show the specific information you need.
Before you can use account segments in the Report Designer, you'll need to do the following:
  1. Add account segments.
  2. Set up the account mask to include segments.
  3. Create segments to divide accounts for use in Trial Balance and reporting.
    note
    Common segments include locations, departments, units, funds, and projects.
When you've completed the prerequisites, follow these steps to use the printing method that best fits your reporting needs.

This method shows columns for each segment in 1 report.

  3. Select a cell or column, then select the ellipsis next to
    Segments
     in the Cell or Column Properties section.
    note
