## Events published

- `OnBeforeValidatePeriodType(var PeriodType: Enum "Analysis Period Type")` (integration): Integration event raised before validating period type changes in the analysis view. Enables custom validation logic for period type selection and filtering requirements.
- `OnBeforeOpenPage(var GLAccount: Record "G/L Account"; var IsHandled: Boolean)` (integration): Integration event raised before opening the page to allow custom initialization. Enables modification of G/L account filters and default settings before page display.
- `OnAfterInitDefaultFilters(var GlobalDim1Filter: Text; var GlobalDim2Filter: Text; var DateFilter: Text)` (integration): Integration event raised after initializing default filters for balance/budget analysis. Enables customization of default dimension and date filters for analysis display.

## Procedures

- `FindPeriod(SearchText: Code[10])`: Finds and navigates to specific periods in the matrix based on search criteria. Updates date filters and refreshes matrix display for period-based analysis.

Plus 31 local procedures.

## Triggers

OnAfterGetRecord, OnNewRecord, OnOpenPage

## Ask your agent

Procedure bodies are not stored here (D10). The call sections above are our own, per object, from the BC29 call graph. For a procedure body or the calls of one procedure, ask bc-code-atlas (external, by Stefan Maron, MIT; default corpus w1-28), which the bc-observatory plugin connects: `bcatlas_resolve_node(object_type: "page", object_name: "G/L Balance/Budget")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
