If you’re more familiar with Excel, the new Task Pane provides you with a 100% Excel reporting experience, but greatly enhances it by providing instant and dynamic access to data within your General Ledger. Starting with a blank canvas you simply drag in data lists, formulas, or Reporting Trees from the Task Pane in your Excel window and the In-Memory* technology will update results instantaneously.

You can also change the level of detail seen at a row level by using account ranges, account wildcards and account exclusions giving you maximum control and flexibility over your financial report layouts. You are now able to generate layouts from the Task Pane by simply dragging the layout into a blank sheet in Excel.

* An In-memory engine is a database management system that stores data entirely in your computer’s RAM. Because working with data In-memory is much faster, Intelligence Reporting is able to report on large data volumes, meaning that financial reports can be run out relatively quickly.
