The Retirement Analysis Kit Help File

The Visible Fields tab allows for configuring the employer file's fields that are visible. It is only available when Advanced is selected as the Editor Mode. Some fields may or may not be used by all employers. For example, many employers will not have Summer Pay. Un-checking 'Summer Pay' (and other fields) has two benefits:

1)It reduces the amount of configuration in the employer file editor (the prompts will appear disabled in the editor).

2)It removes the prompts from the following areas:

a)the Paycheck calculator data input, calculations, and reports

b)Batch Paycheck reports

c)the import wizard's list of fields for importing
