Accessing the Bank Center
To access the Bank Center, do one of the following:
-
Click Bank on the Center Button Bar.

If the Toolbox menu is available, choose Toolbox > Launch New Center > Bank.
From anywhere in AMS360 you can right-click over a center button and that center opens in a new window.
Before you can begin bank-related activities, you must set up the agency bank accounts.
-
From the Bank Center, click New Bank. This takes you to the Bank setup form.

Once the bank information is entered, select Save and Close. This takes you back to the Bank Center where you can continue adding bank accounts, edit a bank account, or move on to another task.
AMS360 returns a maximum of 100 banks to the Bank Center results. By default the system displays 20 records per page, however you can change this in Agency Setup or in the User Options. The Agency Setup options are for the entire agency but you can override this by individual user, in the User Options form.
