For licensed users of Accounting CS Workpapers

The Workpapers Dashboard consists of a number of portlets within a workspace that can be customized to meet your needs. Portlets in the engagement workspace can be easily moved, resized, and undocked from the main dashboard for maximum flexibility. You can open all the portlets in a single tabbed dashboard view, or create multiple tabbed pages that contain different portlets.

Choose View > Workpapers Dashboard.

Note: Only a single client's engagement binders can be viewed in the Workpapers Dashboard at one time.

Adding portlets

To add portlets to the dashboard, click the Select Portlets link in the top-right corner of the screen, or right-click in the dashboard and choose Select Portlets from the context menu. In the Select Portlets dialog, mark the checkbox next to the portlets that you want to add and click OK.
