Friday Feature – Adding Account Aliases to Your Reports

A few weeks ago, we talked about using account aliases, the 6-digit shortcut for the 60-digit SACS account. You don’t need any setup to use account aliases. They are built into Escape Online. You can use them in any field where you would normally type an account number. Pretty cool!
But, wait there is more.

If your district uses account aliases extensively, like many current customers do, you may want to have those aliases appear next to accounts on reports. It is an easy change. Really!

All you have to do is set the Alias on Reports field in the Ledger tab of the Organization record to Account Link Number and the account aliases will appear on every report that shows an account number!
