More Information

If no entries are made in the Account Filter option, access will be granted to all account codes. If one or more account codes are entered, access is denied to all other codes that were not entered. If two or more account codes are entered, the system will use the first matching account code entered to determine the access level. Thus if similar account codes are to be entered in the the more specific account codes should be entered before the generalized account codes. The order of the accounts displayed can be 'reordered' using the icons.
