Adding Analysis Fields to a Ledger

Analysis Fields (previously User Fields), can be used to store additional information relating to an account, for example approver details, additional email addresses, etc.

Access to view and edit analysis fields is determined the permissions applied to your account. If you do not have the permissions you need, contact your administrator for IRIS Financials.
