Lesson 3: Using Development Text and Change History

3.1: Viewing Text for a Line Item

1 of 2

When you develop and approve budgets, you engage in coordination and communication activities to share specific budget information. To do this, you may use line item text as memos to explain or to inquire about the reason for an amount, change, or treatment for a particular line item. You can also view line item text from a Budget Worksheet or a Line Item Detail report.

In this topic, you learn how to view text for a budget line item from a Budget Worksheet.

The Budget Development Text window displays. Click each red-outlined area to view sample text.

Type the text you want to associate with the line item. Use discretion, because this text is viewed by users with access to the line item.

Despite the separate, labeled Print and No Print text boxes, there is no report for printing any line item text. (You may print a screen capture of the line item text.)

Follow the instructions in the image below to try a simulation for viewing text.
