This example shows how a new account is synchronized across different viewpoints.

The Account Maintenance view has three viewpoints:

  • GL Accounts

  • Plan Accounts

  • Consol Accounts

Each viewpoint has its own node set:

  • GL - Account

  • Plan - Account

  • Cons - Account

Each node set has a node type (Account) that is common to and shared with all three viewpoints. Three node types (Rollup, KPI, and Consol Acct) are not common or shared.

You can directly make changes to the Rollup or KPI nodes types in the GL Accounts or Plan Accounts viewpoints respectively. Because the Account node type is common, if you add an account, then you must add the account to all three viewpoints so that it’s synchronized across the viewpoints. You can add the new account to one viewpoint and then drag and drop it to the other two viewpoints. You can also place the new account in a unique position in the hierarchy of each viewpoint.
