Summary

A VRI Set is a collection of VRI Groups, which are user-defined collections of General Ledger accounts. These Sets of Groups are then used in the Visual Reporting tool. Visual Reporting allows you to export GL account information into pre-formatted MS Excel GASB 34 spreadsheets, such as statements of net assets or revenues.

Step by Step

1     View the existing VRI Sets.

• Open the VRI Set Maintenance window (GL> Maintenance> VRI Sets).
• The VRI Set Maintenance window will display all of the sets that have been created in the database. Highlight a set in the left hand portion of the window and the fields in the Maintenance section will populate with the information of the selected set.
• Highlight a set and press DELETE or click the Delete icon to delete the selected set.
  • Sets that are being used by an existing VRI report cannot be deleted.
  • If the deleted set is attached to a group, that group will be deleted as well.
• Press INSERT or click the Create icon to create a new set. This will add a new line item on the left side of the window.

2     Create a new VRI Set.

• Enter a unique Set Name. This is a required field and can be up to 10 alphanumeric characters long.
  • Because each Set will contain Groups that correspond to specific cells within one Excel spreadsheet, you may find it worthwhile to give your Set the same name as the spreadsheet it is being associated with.
• Enter a set Description. This is an optional field and can be up to 64 alphanumeric characters long.
• Click the Save icon when complete.
