The Admin Views Utility allows Admin staff group users to view CCH ProSystem fx Engagement or Workpaper Manager office server data. The data is displayed in a grid and pre-defined views exist for staff, team, client, binder, central file room and office server information. The utility supports printing or exporting the data to CSV, PDF, HTML or XLSX file format. Also, the settings of the grid can be changed in regards to the columns and rows that display for a particular Admin View. Those changes can be saved to create a new custom view or overwrite an existing custom view.

• The utility can only be initiated from the office server or any workstation with a remote desktop connection to the office server.
• It cannot be initiated or launched from a local computer whether the Admin Workstation component is installed or not.
• The utility does not allow for viewing data from the clients and binders in a user’s local file room.
