The Bank table stores all of the bank information for all of the banks that users can access in the Connect application. First, you need to add the bank's information to the System Management > Banks table. Then, you need to add the banks to the Bank table in the individual applications, such as General Ledger for example, to allow users to select the bank within the application. Only the banks that have been added to the application's Bank table will be accessible to users.
For example, the Bank view in Master Records may contain five banks. Only two of the five banks have been selected in the current application's Bank view; therefore, users will only have access in the application to the two banks that have been selected.
