MX20


MX20.1 - View

**Form Purpose
Use View (MX20.1) to define and maintain an attribute view. An attribute view
is a combination of attribute lists defined in MX10.1 (List) for an Accounting
Unit, Activity, or User Analysis object type. Views are composed of summary
and detail records, similar to a chart of accounts. Summary levels are used
for report headings and totaling. Detail records are the attribute lists.

For example, an accounting unit view is a group of accounting unit lists
arranged hierarchically with up to nine totaling levels.

Summary levels are used as report headings and for totaling and subtotaling.
A total line is created for each summary record. The depth you assign a
summary level or list determines the order of totaling. For example, each
level or list assigned a depth of 2, has its totals added to the preceding
level or list assigned a depth of 1.

**More Information
Choose the New View button to define a new view name and a description of the
view. You can copy an existing view in this subform.

Choose the Preview button to view a list of the accounts, accounting units,
activity, or assets and associated attribute values.

Choose the More button to select printing options for reports and inquiries
related to the summary level.

You can run MX220 (View Listing) to list attribute views.
