The Account Register

This view lets you manage your transaction for an account. Consult the Accounts & Transaction section in the manual for detailed information on how to work with this view.

The Account Header

To rename the account, click on the pencil icon. Clicking on the note icon lets you add a note. Actual fully support Markdown and the note will be rendered according to your Markdown when the cursor is hovering over the note.

Below the account name, you'll see the current balance. Green indicates a positive account balance, and red indicates a negative balance. A chevron will appear if you hover over the balance with the cursor. Clicking on this will reveal the values for both cleared and uncleared totals. See the reconciliation topic in the manual for more information.

The top section also give you access to several functions like importing transactions, manually adding new transactions, and filter what transactions you see. On the right side you'll find the Search field which let's you quickly search all fields.

It is possible to split a transaction into more than one category, clicking on the expand/contract arrows, seen in the blue box, will be able to show or hide split transactions.

The three horizontal dots, shown in the blue box, will allow you to perform various manipulations on the account. This range from reconciling and exporting your account to close and linking your account for automatic bank transactions. This is also where you can show the account's running balance (as seen in the first screenshot on this page). You can also, hide/show both cleared and reconciled transactions.

Clicking on Import will let you import transactions from CSV, QIF, OFX and QFX files.

Manually adding transactions can be done by clicking on Add New. The Payee and the Category fields will provide a dropdown menu of available options. You can add new payees directly from this view, but if you need to add a new category, you can only do so from the Budget View.

Filtering on transactions

Clicking on the Filter lets you filter on all the fields. In the screenshot, we see that we search where the Payee is Springfield Clothes and food and the Category equals just Clothing.

If you are filtering for the same things over and over, you can save your filter by clicking on the Unsaved filter dropdown on the right side in the header.

Consult filtering transactions in the manual for more information.

Working on selected transactions

When you select transactions to the right of the account balance, you'll see the balance of the selected transactions to the right of the account's balance.

The number of selected transactions is shown in the red box. If you click on this dropdown, you can perform various commands on these transactions.

Another powerful feature allows you to do bulk editing.
