The GL Amounts column is used to filter transactions by date. This is computed based on the rows' filtered account/s and the dates configured in the Start Offset and End Offset . 

Follow these steps on how to create GL Amounts column type.

1. A new row will be available in the grid section.
2. In the Column Type field, select GL Amounts.
3. In the Column Name field, enter the name you would like to call the column. The value entered in this field may show on your financial report, granted the Caption field for that column is set to Column Name.  This is discussed more on How to Add Column Name Row.
