Blank Slate Models

A blank slate model is a stripped down version of the basic model that allows a new base model to be built from scratch. A variety of new Base Libraries are created with a set of FO Types, Groups and Reports tailored to a particular industry or market segment.

 

Differences between Blank Slate Models and Legacy Models include:

Legacy Models	Blank Slate Models
Legacy models use the Basic Library where all predefined FO Types, Groups, and many other objects are defined.	Blank Slate Base Libraries are built from scratch and include tailored FO Types, Groups, and Reports tailored to a specific market or industry. New models are based on the most suitable Base Library for your situation.
Legacy model FO Types are restricted that cannot be modified to specific groups.	Blank Slate models only use user defined FOs and groups recreating the groups and restrictions for each industry and market.
Data Store Exports automatically include Income Statement and Balance Sheet FOs	Data Store Exports explicitly uses FO Sets to determine which FOs are exported.
The secondary attribute "FO Type" specifies a generic account type of line item that the system uses to select the appropriate FO Type and Group.	The secondary attribute "FO Type" specifies an FO Type to be used in data store imports.
The secondary attribute "Import Group" is not used in Legacy models.	The secondary attribute "Import Group" specifies the group for storing newly created FOs.
Only explicit line item sets	Has implicit line item sets based on FO Types
