Accounts

Accounts are the chargeable entities created in the Report creation and preparation step based on the key columns selected from the Dataset.

For this report, the selected key columns which will dictate the Accounts are Reseller, Customer and Department.

In the above diagram you can observe the mapping between the Report definition creation and the Accounts.

Before preparing the report, you will notice the Accounts number as being equal to 0:

After choosing your desired key columns and successfully preparing the report, you will notice the number of Accounts changes.

If you click on the number of Accounts, you will be taken to the Account Overview menu. There you will see an hierarchy of your Accounts. By clicking the + sign next to each Account name, you drill-down into lower-level Accounts.

By selecting the Account, you can see a description in the right side of the screen, including the depth level.

note

The maximum level of depth for Accounts is 5 (since the number of key colums you can include in the Report definiton creation step is also 5).
