Use the Analyze Client Activity feature in Accounting CS to quickly generate an at-a-glance view of the current client's activity. The views that are available differ depending on which services are enabled for the current client. For clients that have the Accounting service enabled, you can view the General Ledger, Trial Balance, and Financial Statement views. For clients that have the live or after-the-fact Payroll services enabled, you can view the Payroll Schedules view, the Employee Earnings view, and the Payroll Tax Form view.

Click the blue hyperlinks in a view to drill down and expand details down to the transaction level. When you click the blue hyperlink for a transaction amount in a view, the application navigates to the screen that contains the source transaction, such as the Enter Transactions, Enter Payables, Enter Invoices, or Manage Customer Payments screen.

To access the Trial Balance, General Ledger, Financial Statement Worksheet, Payroll Schedules, or Employee Earnings views, click the Analyze Client Activity analyze account activity button button in the toolbar or choose Actions > Analyze Client Activity within any client-specific screen in the application (for example Setup > Clients, Actions > Enter Transactions, and so forth) and choose the view that you want to open.

To access the Payroll Tax Forms view, choose Actions > Edit Payroll Tax Forms, select federal form 941, and then click the Analyze Client Activity analyze account activity button button in the toolbar or choose Actions > Analyze Client Activity.
