If you access this session using LN UI (through Ming.le) and Business Intelligence server is configured with Ming.le, the fields in the Amounts group box are replaced with a graph. The graph displays the cumulative dimension balances (overview of the dimensions of ledger accounts till now) for the selected ledger account.

Note:

You must select a record to view the graph.
The graph is displayed for the number of periods defined for the group of companies. The first period includes opening balances and the last period includes correction periods.
The graph can be displayed for a maximum of thirteen periods. If more than twelve periods are used in group of companies(excluding correction periods), LN determines the thirteen periods to be displayed in the graph by dividing number of periods by thirteen, The last period displays the (possible) rest of periods.
