What's New In Financial Edge NXT: Attributes And Multiple Filters For Measures

Ellyn Hassell

Financial Edge NXT recently updated with new and renamed attributes, as well as multiple filters for measures.

Account Segment Attributes - New


You can now use the following account segment attributes to help you further analyze account numbers when building your insights:

• Fund (user-defined)
• Account code (hard-coded)
• Up to eight additional account segment attributes (user-defined)

Take note! You can configure the names of account segments to fit your business needs. To define account segments, you must access Account Setup in the Configuration module of Financial Edge 7. Custom names you enter are reflected in the web view and are prefixed by “Account”. 

Transaction Code Attributes - Renamed


Any Transaction code and Transaction code status attributes you define are now prefixed with “Transaction”. This groups the attributes and helps you locate them more quickly. 

Multiple Filters for Measures


To narrow the focus of a measure, you can now apply multiple — up to 20! — attribute filters. (Previously, you could apply only one attribute filter directly to a measure.).

To apply filters to a measure, select it under Measures in the insight, select Add attribute filter, and choose the attributes and criteria of the records to include in its number-crunching.
