If you're using a older version of NewViews, you're missing out on significant enhancements that have been added to NewViews version 1.41b. These enhancements, including a number of very useful procedures, will not only save you time and effort, they will help you get more information from your books than ever before.
Pop-up select boxes (displaying lists of reports, accounts, procedures or printers) are real-time and fully integrated with NewViews commands and the NewViews Procedure Library. Any field on a procedure prompt that requires an account, report, printer, or procedure name can be filled in by choosing an item from a select box.
Transaction reference and reconcile fields support alphanumeric entries up to 7 characters in length. Ledger items can be sorted by the date, reference or reconcile field. For example, checks in the bank account can be viewed by check number by sorting by the reference field. Invoices can be matched with payments in customer and supplier accounts by sorting by the reconcile field.
Text lines on distributions can be used to enter descriptions that are unlimited in length. For example, multiple text lines can be entered on invoice distributions to describe invoice items.
A new set of books can be created directly from the NewViews Shell using the Make Books option. Existing sets of books can be used to create custom templates upon which new sets of books can be based.
Inadvertent errors are dramatically reduced by four new features: automatic edit safety, restricted editing of total-to fields, restricted editing where cross-items are purged, and restricted editing where items or cross-items are reconciled.
Books up to a maximum size of 512 megabytes can be accommodated.
Save and pick boxes are available for most procedures that display a prompt box with more than one field. Up to 100 settings for a procedure prompt can be stored under meaningful names and subsequently retrieved using save and pick boxes. For example, the BLKCOPY and BLKPASTE procedures use save and pick boxes to let you save up to 100 standard transactions that can be added to your books as required.
SAVEPOS and GOPOS allow your current position in the books to be saved, then restored at any time. Up to 100 positions can be saved/restored using SAVEPOS and GOPOS. For example, you can use SAVEPOS to save your setup for a bank reconciliation, then use GOPOS to automatically recreate that setup at any time.
SETPO duplicates the /Print Options prompt, with the added convenience of being able to choose a printer name from a select box. SETPO also uses save and pick boxes to store/retrieve up to 100 print settings.
EXP123 exports account balances from a block of accounts on the analysis view of a report, or from the analysis view of a block of reports on the home document, in a format that is compatible with Lotus 1-2-3.
SORTREPT sorts accounts on a report by name, description or amount, in ascending or descending order. Accounts can be printed in sorted order, moved on the report, or both.
FLOWS prints a summary of increases and decreases to an account, including total accounts, for any period. Increases/decreases can be sorted by cross-account, description, or amount. For example, FLOWS can be used to print cash flows (sources and uses of cash), customer sales by product, supplier purchases by product, product sales by customer, product purchases by supplier, and more.
REPORT can be used to print presentation quality financial statements. This procedure also enables you to print the setup or analysis view of a report for any period (daily, weekly, biweekly, etc.) Daily, weekly, or monthly reports can be printed for periods before the prior fiscal year end. The analysis view can be printed with up to 17 columns (for example, monthly reports with subtotals for each quarter plus a yearly total). Analysis columns can be combined using formulas, which can be used for projections, variance analysis, and more. All analysis view amounts can be exported in spreadsheet or database format.
