View the client's trial balance data

Once you've received and successfully imported your client's trial balance data, you can view accounts and groups using the left panel on the Data page.

How to disable the Accounts option to view only groups.

The groups that show on the page by default are based on your product setup. If no default groups have been set up in your product, the page displays all groups in the hierarchy.

If you have default groups defined in your product, you can view the parent groups for the default groups by enabling the Parent Groups option.

For example, in the below figure, default groups have been set up in the product, so the page displays the following groups by default.

Default groups display on the page (if the default groups are defined in your product).Otherwise, all trial balance groups display.

If you enable the Parent Groups option, the page displays all levels above the default group in the hierarchy (that is, the parent groups for each default group). Note that if no default groups are defined, enabling this option has no effect on the page.

Enabling the Parent groups option dislpays the parent groups for each default group (if no default groups are defined in your product, enabling this option has no effect on the displayed data).

You can also select a specific group to view a drill-down of its subsequent groups only on the page. For example, you can select Current assets to view its subsequent groups only on the page. Notice how a navigation path displays at the top of the page so you can easily navigate to parent groups.
