Period management
Introduction
Period management is a way to configure a period of time (e.g. the accounting period or a quarter of an organization). When the periods are configured, it is possible to see the summaries for each period in the "Client" files as well as in "Analysis & History". Moreover, these summaries can be used to produce reports and personalized lists, in relation to these specific periods.
