Changing funds account name from "Default" to "Retainer"

SUGGESTED

Hi,

We are using Timeslips 2015.

In the Client Funds Account Entry box, how can I change the Account Name from Default to Retainer for every client without doing it one by one?  I had it this way in an older database, but when I created a new database based on that one, these settings didn't transfer and now the funds Account Name for every client is "Default".

Any help is appreciated.  Thank you!

    Unfortunately, I do not know of a way to change existing values in that field easily because you cannot import/export Funds settings between clients.

    You can control it for NEW clients via the new client defaults, but not on existing ones.

    Which is why I don't mess with that value, and just handle the effects of it elsewhere under the bill layout settings.

    If I may ask, why do you feel you need to change it? How is it causing you grief?

    Not grief, really, but was just hoping to retain as many settings from the old database as possible and couldn't figure out why this one wasn't transferred over. I will change the bill phrases, but just for my own knowledge can you tell me how to control it in the new client defaults? Thanks again for your help!

    Well, that's a bit of a longer answer, but it involves setting up your default new client template to have what you want, so that when you create new clients, they inherit that setting from the template.
