Introduction

Applies to:
Dynamic ✔ PDF Mobile Client Portal

The Account Ledger section provides a tabular view of account characteristics for all accounts in the report. It is frequently used as a "table of contents"-style introduction to PDF reports, showing a list of what accounts or groups the client will see detailed in the following sections, along with some high-level information such as inception date, account description, current value, and returns.

If this section of a PDF template has no data, it won't display in the report. You'll be notified that no data was available on the PDF Report Status page and on the Template page if you generate a sample Template.

There are special considerations for closed accounts for this report. For more information, see Show Returns for Closed Accounts.

Note

This report only includes managed assets.

For more information about the difference between dynamic, interactive reports and PDF reports, see Introduction to Reports.
