Previewing practice reports
The Preview Reports option is used to check the default report settings that have been configured for each entity type. Using a sample client, the report selections — the reports that will be included — the report order, the account group configuration and the paragraph formats can be checked.
Ensure that the selected sample client has a configured valid financial data source.
To preview the reports
