Data Views and Reporting

The Chart of Accounts is represented in CityVision by Entities and Accounts. Typically the Fund, Departments, Cost Centers and Programs are designated as Entities and the object codes are designated as Accounts. The Project codes are associated with the Capital Improvement Programs. Different Consolidation Structures are then created for aggregations by Fund, Departments, and Programs. Account structures allow grouping of accounts into Summary accounts.
The following charts show examples of the fund, department, program, and account structures. The PowerPlan entities are represented as xxx.yyyyy.zzzzz (where xxx is the fund number, yyyyy is the department number, and zzzzz is the program number), and the PowerPlan accounts are made up of the existing object codes.

Data Views and Reporting

CityVision's navigation allows the end user to easily display various data views and reports in a number of predefined view and report formats. These views can be created at any aggregation level within the fund, department, program and object code hierarchy. Any data display can be printed as a report or can be exported to a spreadsheet.
