I can see this as being really useful for both dimensions and accounts.  Right now there doesn't seem to be a way to report on multiple dimensions and tagging certain ones will be helpful to report on a particular group of dimensions. 

Tagging the accounts can also be useful, particularly in the production of summarized reports.  For example, our board members only want summarized income statements that don't have the details of every single expense account.  So we group all the expenses in three different categories.  However each time we add an account, we must manually enter the account into a specific category because the accounting system doesn't allow us to group the account into various categories.  We have multiple reports that have to have this done and it gets rather tedious.  I can see the account tags as a way to give more flexibility in reporting, particularly in summarizing. 

Can you explain more of what you mean by it being dangerous?  I think I have an idea of what you mean, but it might be helpful to have a specific example. 

Thanks,

That's great!  Thanks for letting me know!

Yes, when trying the demo site it works like I would like ours to work.  Our systems department is going to try the new installation.  We have 2.1.1, so maybe that's the issue.  If we have any more problems after the new installation, I'll let you know.  Thanks so much for your help!

When I pull up the General Ledger Account Transactions report it shows all the transactions for the period I am selecting.  The report also shows the income and expense transactions and their associated dimensions.  So, the GL report shows all the details I want and shows that I entered the dimensions in correctly.  However, when I pull up the P&L report for the same period as the GL report and select the appropriate dimension, it does not filter by the dimension.  On the top of the report it doesn't even note that it was filtered by a dimension.  I noticed that when I log into the Demo, it shows at the top of the report that it is filtered by the particular dimension.  Are there any other things I could be doing wrong that would explain this problem?

Thanks for your help!
