Let NewViews Do The Heavy Lifting with Tools > Manipulate Column
The Tools > Manipulate Column command is a powerful feature in NewViews. When you mark a block, position the cursor in the column
to be manipulated and issue the Tools > Manipulate Column command, the prompt below is displayed.
Operations you can perform on columns are:
- Prepend - add a prefix to a sequence of characters
- Append - add a suffix to a sequence of characters
- Insert - add one or more characters in the middle of a sequence of characters
- Find/Replace - replace or delete a sequence of characters or a value
- Numeric Operation - perform a calculation on values in a block and replace them with the calculated values
The Prepend and Append options can be used to add prefixes or suffixes to account
names to make them more consistent and/or easier to identify. For example, you may want to add BS- to the beginning of all
balance sheet accounts and IS- to the beginning of all income statement accounts so they can be identified at a glance.
The Find/Replace option is a huge timesaver for modifying account names, descriptions, comments or values that have a sequence
of characters or value in common. For example, you can use this tool on a block of sales accounts to find all products priced at $100 and change
their price to $125. If, on the other hand, you want to increase sales prices by 10% across the board, you can do that using the
Numeric Operation option.
Note for NewViews for Non-Profit Housing Users: The Tools > Manipulate Column command can be used on the
RGI, Rent Summary view to increase rent for some or all units by a given percentage.
Note for all NewViews Users: Marked blocks can be continuous (use Shift + left mouse click to select the first and last row) or
fragmented (use Ctrl + left mouse click to add individual rows to the block).
If you have a NewViews Support Plan and would like someone to walk you through the process of using this powerful tool, please contact Tech Support.
Our team of experts are always happy to assist!

Did you know a calculator is embedded in all numeric fields?
In NewViews, all numeric fields have an embedded calculator. This means you can type a mathematical expression and the result will automatically be calculated
and entered in the field. For example, if you type 2.5*3 in a numeric field, the value 7.5 will be entered. You can also use parentheses for more complex calculations.
For example, if you type (2+3)*7, the value 35 will be entered.
Setting Automatic Reference #’s for Sales Invoices
You can have NewViews provide sequential reference numbers for sales invoices using the Settings view of the Sales
Journal.
As shown above, simply enter a value in the Next Ref # field on the Settings view.
You can also use this view to enforce unique reference numbers. Once the Next Ref # has been set in this way, pressing
F3 on the Ref # field of a sales invoice will offer up the next available reference number.
Using automatic reference numbers for sales invoices is a great way to ensure that all invoices are accounted for (i.e. reference numbers
are sequential and none should be missing). To be used as a control in this way, however, invoices that are cancelled should be voided and
not deleted.
Note: Automatic reference #’s for entries in any journal can be set in this way.
“Freezing” Title Columns on Wide Reports
If you are scrolling through a wide report with many columns (e.g. a multi-year analysis of an income statement) and want to “freeze”
the Description column on the left for reference, position on that column and issue the
Window > Title Columns > Set command. This will ensure the Description column (and all columns to
the left of it) remain visible as you scroll to the right. To “unfreeze” columns set in this way, use the
Window > Title Columns > Unset command.
