The Account Group is a device to group individual Account Lists that have a meaningful relationship to each other for specific purposes. For example an Account Group called Assets may consist of three Account Lists called Current Assets, Long-Term Investments, and Fixed Assets.

Purpose
The purpose for Account Groups is to organize the Account Lists into collections that can be used in the retrieval of data from the database table and processed individually as the Lists.

The Account Group functionality offers you two options:

• _{Group > New}
  this will display the Account Group UNTITLED window (the word UNTITLED will be replaced with the name given to the Account Group during Save). It has two boxed areas:
  • Group UNTITLED  (which will be empty on first display, the word UNTITLED  will be replaced with the name given to the Account Group during Save).
  • Available account lists (which displays the inventory of all available Account Lists).

  After the Account Group  window has been displayed, select the desired Account List(s) from the scrollable Available account lists area and double-click (for a single selection) or press the Add to group button. (This will add the List(s) to the Group UNTITLED box showing the List names in the List name scrollable area and the Account List Description of the currently highlighted List in the Account ranges scrollable area.) The List names added to the Account Group are disabled in the scrollable Available account lists area.

  If you wish to re-sequence the Account Lists included in the Account Group, you can drag the desired List name up or down.

• _{Group > Open}
  this will display the Open Account Group panel. Make your selection to display the desired Account Group window

• _{Editing An Existing Group}
  The window displayed in response to making a selection from the Open Account Group window will have in its Title Bar: Account Group X (where X is the Name assigned to the Group during Save). You have several options:
  
  
  • adding Account Lists to the Group:
    select your choice from the scrollable Available account lists area and double-click (for a single selection), or press the Add to group button, or select Edit > Add list menu item;
  • deleting an Account List name from the Group:
    click first on the List name to be deleted and then select Edit > Delete list menu item;
  • deleting the Group:
    select Group > Delete menu item.
