The Account Headers window has three distinct areas and two buttons:

• GL Account scrollable area (displaying the inventory of GL accounts)
• Header editable field (to receive the new Header name for a selected group or edit an existing one)
• Range (to record the first GL and last GL number for a group under the Header)
• Clear button (to ungroup account ranges)
• Set button (to implement the new or edited group)

To group a range of accounts:

• drag-select the group.
  The desired group should now be highlighted and the Range fields display:
  • from (implied) account number, being the first account number selected;and, the
  • to account number, being the numeric value X, where X = the GL Account number immediately following the highlighted group -1.
• enter the Header and modify the Range, if desired; and,
• click the Set button.

  Please Note:
  If you group current asset accounts, for example, that are numbered 110, 115, and 180 and the next account is a fixed asset account numbered 210, the suggested range will be 110 to 209. You may want to establish more clear-cut delimiters and replace the suggested range with: 100 to 199 and when you group fixed assets start with 200, etc. When you add an additional account, e.g. 105, it will then fit into the already established current asset range and this function does not have to be revisited.

To ungroup an account range:

• select the Header line to be deleted (this will highlight the Header description and the accounts that are included in the grouping),
• press the Clear button (this will remove the Header description and the indentation of the accounts in the group).

To change an existing group header (either the spelling of the description or the range included in the group):

• ungroup the account range,
• group (re-group) the desired range of accounts.
