When you load Bank Reconciliation for the first time, you will see the screen shown in Figure 1 (below). This is referred to as the Welcome Screen. Bank Reconciliation is actually one of three product modules produced by Treasury Software. Click "Bank Reconciliation sample account - demo" circled in red.

Right Pane
Towards the top of right pane of the Main Screen, there is a dropdown box. It currently shows "Sample." The name in this box corresponds to an account. To work in a different account that has already been created, you simply select its name in the dropdown box.
There are 4 clickable buttons in the right pane. These are:
1. Import Bank Data - load the Bank Import Wizard for importing bank data
2. Import General Ledger - load the General Ledger Import Wizard for importing general ledger data
3. Match Records - to start the System Matching process
4. Reports - to start the Report Creator
