Levels define the grouping and layout of sections on the finance report. Three levels of grouping are available for the standard report. Six levels of grouping are available for custom reports. Each level is successively indented on the layout of the report. Although whole numbers are usually used as the level numbers, you can use numbers with up to 4 decimals if you want to insert new lines into the report. |
||||
Seq |
Defines the individual detail lines within each group. You can use numbers with up to 4 decimals if you want to insert new lines into the report.
