Themes
Introduction
CCH Accounts Production is shipped with a theme, which displays the styles available when printing or previewing the Financial Statements.
The CCH theme cannot be amended, but a copy may be taken; this may then be amended to suit the organisation and assign it to all or some clients. There are twenty extra styles available for use to setup if required. Once a theme has been created it will then be applied to a client or many (all) clients through the Job Themes screen.
