accounting” on page 8.
2. Selects Analysis > Queries > Query Builder.
3. Clicks Create to create a new, custom query.
4. On the Define Initial Settings step of the wizard, sets Name, Description, and Time
Period settings for the query. Since the query will be returning data based on the

step of the wizard.
