Input features in the G/L Accounts window
Fields
Fields are often text boxes into which you type characters; some fields are filled out by
selecting values from drop-down lists. To illustrate these fields, an input window — the
G/L Accounts window — will be used.
Some fields have certain buttons to their right. These are the Finder and New buttons.
Finder button
The Finder button looks like a magnifying glass. When you click the Finder button, a window
related to the field appears. This window enables you to locate specific information quickly.
In Exercise 2.1, you will use the Finder button to locate account 1020.
