Account indexes

Account indexes make it faster to design, generate, and print financials. ActivityHD automatically indexes all account segments in their sort order.

AccountingWare suggests that you build your indexes so that they can be used by multiple financial designs. Before you create an index, analyze your financial design to determine what you are limiting by. Too many indexes can make adding, editing, and deleting accounts slower and make financials slower because of the time consumed by the system determining which index to use. If you find you have this problem but do not want to delete any indexes, you can deactivate the indexes you are not using.

Note

Account indexes cannot be used on attributes or detail-level rollups at this time.
