Notes

  • You can add multiple workpaper reference columns for the same and different periods.
  • The list of periods in the Period field is based on the periods that have been set up for the contact in the Period tab of the Setup > Contacts screen.
  • When the current period for a contact is changed, the prior workpaper references for the columns linked to that period are no longer displayed.
  • You can select the down arrow button at the top of the Workpaper Reference columns to sort items in ascending or descending order and to filter by condition or value.
  • You can add a comment to selected account rows (see Add and edit comments).
