First of all, you cannot change the Description of the Account Groups named by default in Ledger, although you can edit the ranges to match your criteria.

In order to change Groups or edit the ranges in the Account Groups in Financial Reporter, you must access FR by selecting "Maintain Financial Reports" from the main Adagio Ledger "Maintenance" Toolbar menu option.

Now, with the Account Group window displayed on the left, you will be able to add a new group or delete an existing group (you can change the group 'name' by left clicking on it then pressing F2 to go into Edit mode):

1. Add a new Account Group
To add a new Account Group to your Company's main Account Group title or Description (rather than using the default "Adagio Ledger Account Group Definition" and changing the ranges therein)
- left-click to select your Company's Name (eg this should be the very top Name/Description in the Account Group windows)
- then right-click to bring up a sub-menu. -- while the sub-menu is displayed, select New Group and give it the properties desired (ie Name as Title, Include total line, Name:, Style for character values and Style for numeric values).
- Click OK when done.

2. Edit and/or create a new Account Group 'Range' for this new Group:
- Highlight the new Group by left-clicking on it
- Right-click to bring up the sub-menu & select New Range
- Enter the information desired & click OK
- Select the new Range by left-clicking on the range name
- left-click on the space directly to the right (underneath the heading 'Range') - although you will not see anything at this point, now with your mouse sitting in this exact spot, press <F2> to go into edit mode. You will now be able to type in the account range for this new account group. (The syntax must be 100:200, or 3700:3900 where the colon designates the range command).
- Press Enter when you are done - you should see the new range displayed.

When you create new account groups in FR - it does not automatically update Ledger and vice versa. If you have modified your Account Groups in Ledger (Edit - Account Groups) you must also go into Financial Reporter and create the same ranges so that your Financial Statements will accurately reflect your accounting structure.

If your range did not print a title, then you did not enable the "Show Names" option when you created the new Account Group. To edit and change this:
- select the Account Group title, then right-click to bring up the sub-menu.
- select Properties
- click on the 'Show Names' option to enable this feature
- click OK when done.

Now, when you drag this account group to the FS, your titles should be shown.

Hope this is what you were looking for!

Sincerely,
Softrak Technical Support
