    Report Balance by TermsClosed Indicate whether you want to see the student account balance (across all enrollments) for each distinct selected term that are found on the student’s ledger card. By default, this field is set to No. When this field is set to No and the Terms field is: • Set to Include All, then the report calculates the student’s account balance as an overall balance (across all enrollments) for each student based on the provided report criteria • Specified with term(s) then the report calculates the student’s account balance as an overall balance (across all enrollments) for each student based on transactions associated directly with the selected term(s) only. When this field is set to Yes, then you can select one or multiple terms to calculate the student's account balance. The report calculates and displays the balance for each of selected terms that are found on the student's ledger card from all enrollments.

If you are selecting a group and your institution has configured Anthology Student to limit groups to campuses, you can only select groups for the campus that you are assigned to. If you are selecting a group, it can also be filtered to display groups where you are the owner, public groups, and private groups to which you have been given access.
