Date and Display Option Preferences

Date Preferences

Fiscal Year Begins: The start date of the fiscal year, which is used to determine the current quarter when reporting information based on a specified date range. The value entered must be a valid date but the current year will always be assumed when calculating the date range. For example, if the fiscal year begins on January 1st, you can enter that date with any year (01/01/2005, 01/01/2020, 01/01/2015). XFRACAS will only consider the month and day.

Portal - What's New Modify Date: The date of the most recent modification to the What's New page maintained by your company (i.e., the Whatsnew.html page in the main folder on the web server where XFRACAS was installed). This page is displayed if the user has not visited the website since the page was last modified.
