System Options – Funds

You can set the following default options to apply to every Fund record you create in FIMS. This can save time in the data entry process and any of the default values can be changed when you are working with a specific record.

Saving Crystal Reports to Fund Folders:

In System Options > Fund Section, clarity was added to Crystal reports. 

• Options beginning with Fund_Statements_Crystal_ (plural statements) are intended for use with the utility that saves Crystal Fund Statements to fund folders. This utility is not found on the menus, but can be run from Custom Menus or Run Procedure (odbc\crystal\w-statex.w). 

• Options beginning with Fund_Statement_Crystal_ (not plural) are intended for use with the Fund Statement shortcut button in the Fund Module.
