Sorting notes

To sort the order of the notes:

  • Click Sections > Notes
  • Click the Sort button
  • Click on the note name and drag and drop it to a new position

 

 

There can be a different order in the statement of financial position and the notes.

  • Sections > Financial position > Sort: will sort items within the face of the statement of financial position, restatement of comparatives note and deed of cross guarantee note
  • Sections > Notes > Sort: will sort the notes to the financial statements

 

 

As an example in the image below:

  • Cash and cash equivalents is not the first subclass
  • The order of the notes is not sequential:

 

Image shows an excerpt of an example Statement of financial position. There are current assets listed with note references.

 

 


Include notes in contents page

To include the notes to the financial statements in the contents page of the report:

  • Click Reports > Options > Report sections
  • Click the edit icon next to the Contents section
  • Set Include notes in contents page to Yes

 

Note: If a page break has been inserted at the beginning of the note, when the report is output, the note will start on a new page and the software will insert the wording 'continued' in the page header. As a result, for the Include notes in contents page option, if Yes is selected, the note name will be excluded from the contents page. To avoid this issue, the page break should be inserted at the end of the previous note.

 

 


Add a notes contents page

To add a separate contents page for notes to the financial statements:

  • Click Sections > Notes
  • Click the Settings button 
  • Click Yes - With contents page for the Print notes option
  • This can also be turned on or off in Report sections by selecting Yes - With contents page in print section for Notes to the financial statements

 

Note: If a page break has been inserted at the beginning of the note, when the report is output, the note will start on a new page and the software will insert the wording 'continued' in the page header. As a result, for the Print notes option, if Yes - With contents page is selected, the note name will be excluded from the notes contents page. To avoid this issue, the page break should be inserted at the end of the previous note.

 

 


Change contents page styles

To change the default styles of the contents page or notes contents page:

  • Click Reports > Options > Report sections
  • Click the edit icon in the Contents or Notes to the financial statements row (if Yes - with contents page) has been selected
  • Set Tab leader to None or select a style
  • Set Spacing to Single, 1.5 lines or Double
  • Set Include notes in contents page to Yes or No
  • Set Contents case to Default, Lowercase, Sentence case, Proper caseUppercase or Capitalise first character

 

Note: If Insert page numbers in Styles is set to No, then Tab leader for both the contents and notes contents pages will be hidden.

 

 


Errors on the contents page

The most common cause of an error on the contents page is due to table of contents markers within a custom section Word document. Custom sections cannot contain table of contents markers.

 

To check this:

  • Open the custom section within Word
  • Turn on the 'Show paragraph marks'  option
  • Search for markers such as {TC...} or {TOC...} and delete the markers
  • Replace the existing custom section as per the instructions in Report sections

 

 


Change the note name format

To change the note name format:

  • Click Reports > Options > Setup
  • Set Note name format - Include 'Note' before note number or Note name format - Include subclass in the financial position notes to Yes or No

 

Alternatively:

  • Click Sections > Notes
  • Click the Settings button
  • Set Include 'Note' before note number or Include subclass in the financial position notes to Yes or No

 

These control the note name format as follows:
