# Displaying journal data

1. Go to **Cintra iQ**: Payroll > Payroll Tools > Accounting > Journal Display
2. Export journal data for all employees and cost codes - **Cintra iQ** holds the functionality to produce a costing file that is relevant to your accounting system, so that you can upload the file without having to manually enter the data. For more information, see [How do I export journal data for all employees and cost codes?](/iq/docs/how-do-i-export-journal-data-for-all-employees-and-cost-codes)
3. Enquire about a particular cost code allocation. Once the **Journal** data is extracted, you can set up the **Journal Display** to see what monies are allocated against the cost codes and how they have been analysed.
4. Create a journal pivot table -You can also generate output files within the **Journal Display** to either review or export directly to the desired location. For more information, see [How do I create a journal pivot table?](/iq/docs/how-do-i-create-a-journal-pivot-table)
5. Generate a Sun Account file - For more information, see [How do I generate a Sun account file?](/iq/docs/how-do-i-generate-a-sun-account-file)
