Workpaper properties

For licensed users of Accounting CS Workpapers
The
Workpaper Properties
 window lets you view all information pertaining to a specific workpaper and to designate the name and reference for the currently selected workpaper. You can also specify the rollforward treatment for a workpaper, assign the workpaper to a specific staff member, track signoffs, view the status of the current workpaper, and choose to delete the workpaper when the engagement is ready to be finalized.
Right-click a new or existing workpaper in the Engagement Binders Tree portlet in the
Workpapers Dashboard
 and select
Properties
 to view or update the workpaper information.
note
  • You can't modify the properties for a selected workpaper if it is currently checked out from the engagement binder.
  • You can't modify the properties of a protected workpaper. Right-click the workpaper and select

     to make it available for editing. And if the engagement binder has been
    Finalized
    , you must first right-click the finalized engagement briefcase in the Engagement Binders Tree portlet, and select
    Unfinalize
     to return the binder back to an active state.
