Does anyone have input on how to create Q1, Q2 etc. as running periods?

You can build quarters in the system calendar, but they’ll be fixed - eg Jan to Mar would be Q1 etc, i presume you can change this to suit your accounting year.

For rolling periods you’re best using Custom Periods and setting the offset.
