The Service Item Trendscape window provides a scrollable summary of service ledger entries that are related to a specific service item. This summary is generated for a specific time period.
To use the trendscape, from the Service Items window, select a service item. On the Navigate tab, in the Serv. Item group, point to Statistics, and then choose Trendscape.
When you scroll up and down, the amounts (in LCY) are calculated according to the time interval that you have selected.
You can specify which service items are included in the trendscape by setting a filter in the Service Item No. field on the General FastTab.
The Period Start and Period Name fields on the Lines FastTab contain a series of dates that are determined by the time interval that you have selected in the View by field on the Options FastTab. Accounting periods are set up in the Accounting Period table.
The following table describes the other fields in the Lines FastTab.
