Split entry case 1: A transaction exists in your account that is not split, and you want to split it. We also greatly improved how split balancing works. There are two basic use cases that we wanted to get right and we think we really nailed it.
One of first things you will notice is that you can tab to any part of the editor, add or delete splits, and do just about anything with key strokes. We tried to keep the parts of Banktivity 5 that worked well, and improved the areas we thought needed help. For Banktivity 6, it has been completely re-engineered. By the way, the Finder behaves the same way with folders.Īlright, there isn’t anything hidden about this, as it is probably one part of the app you interact with most: our inline transaction editor. Now, if you see nested categories and a little disclosure button, just click it with the Option key down and ALL categories will be expanded or collapsed. It’s not a huge thing, but a nice little touch. One thing that we needed to figure out, however, was what to do if someone wanted to expand all categories. Not much else to say about this. It’s simple, it’s fast, it’s useful.Īre you a fan of nested categories? We do a much better job now of showing nested categories in reports.
Now you can do that: at the bottom of the window is a little description showing the sum of all of the selected transactions (see the red ellipse in the screenshot below). Sometimes, customers want a way to quickly sum up a couple of transactions. So, without further ado, here are three lesser-known features in Banktivity 6 –or as I like to call them, hidden gems. But trust me, when we have something to say about them, we will write about it here!
BANKTIVITY APP DOWNLOAD FOR ANDROID UPDATE
I know many are clamoring for an update on our iOS apps – sorry, you won’t find that in this blog post. So over the coming months I’ll be doing a few blog posts calling out some of these less-spotlighted features and, of course, we will write about other development/company news as appropriate. But we’ve added a ton of other new features and polish throughout the app, and they deserve some attention. Most folks know about the big ticket items like Workspaces, Tags, Quick Reports, Find and Portfolio. Now that Banktivity 6 has been in the wild for a little while, I wanted to write about a few lesser known features in the app.
