Rollover Other Data
By default, the system automatically rolls over the following types of administrative data from last year's product:
- Companies
- Payers
- Preparers
- Form Rates
- Hourly Rates
- Custom List Templates
- Print Packets
- Global Client Letter Templates (including customizations)
If a template has been customized in the current year product, prior year changes will not rollover. If you want the prior year customizations to roll over, delete or restore the template in the current year product, then re-rollover Global Templates. Changes made in the current year template will be lost.
To roll over administrative information from last year:
- In Rollover Manager, clear the check box(es) for data that you do not want to rollover.

- Click the Rollover button on the toolbar.
- Click the Rollover menu; then, select Rollover Marked Data.
- Press Ctrl+R.
- Click Close.
When administrative items are successfully rolled over, the number of items for the corresponding data should change to zero. If you rolled over three preparers, you should see Preparers (0) after the rollover.
