# Accounts overview

The accounts overview is designed to make all account information readily available, making it simple to manage and monitor accounts. It is the displayed page when you select a customer or an account from the **Account management** page.

Accounts in Control Center are grouped by customer—the person or company that holds the account. Select a customer's name to display a menu of all their accounts.

You can only view one specific account at a time. Select an account to display its **Overview** page.

The following images and table explain the elements of the account overview page. The **Overview** view displays by default.

# Account views

Account views are tabs on the **Overview** page that group information about an account into categories. The available views vary based on the account type and your roles. The following views are available, with the correct account type and permissions.

* **Overview**—General information. This is the default view.
* **Cards**—Every issued card. Each card has detail tabs for transactions, details, and status change history.
* **Transactions**—transaction event history
* **Statements** (credit only)—monthly statement details, including amounts, minimum payment, and related dates
* **Limits**—credit limits (credit accounts) or fund balances (debit accounts)
* **Deposit products** (debit only)—available and attached deposit products
* **Timeline**—account event history
* **History**—account management session history
* **Requests and approvals**—a list of all requests and approvals for the selected account

# Sessions

Control Center begins an account management session whenever you open an account overview and ends when you close the Web browser or select **Actions** > **End session**.

A session timer is a common feature in CRM applications. Tracking the time spent in an account management session is useful for things like tracking billable hours and gathering data on performance and productivity.

The **Actions** menu contains the following **Sessions** options:

* **History**—Review session history
* **Add notes**—Add session notes
* **End session**—End the session

Control Center maintains a history of all sessions, including their duration. If you leave a session without selecting **End session**, the session is listed in the history as "session abandoned".

When you end a session, you have the option to add information about the outcome (resolved, unresolved, or open) and you can include a reason for any changes. This information helps others to understand what hapened during your session and why.

# Account options

From the account overview, you can also do the following.

* View account information by available category tab
* Manage account configurations such as account details, customers, phone numbers, and addresses (refer to [Account configurations](https://developers.pismo.io/pismo-docs/docs/account-configurations-in-control-center)).
* Perform account management actions such as change the account status, make an adjustment, and manage held funds (refer to [Account actions](https://developers.pismo.io/pismo-docs/docs/account-actions)).
* View and edit card information (refer to [Card information](https://developers.pismo.io/pismo-docs/docs/card-information)).
