9/09/2010:
- A user requested how to have a widget to basically to do a "quick entry" for an account, without having to go through the menus and navigate into an account to perform an entry. We're looking into implementing this.
- We are still working on completing the How-To user guide for the application, which will be posted on this website and will include documented steps, screenshots, and also a video tutorial.
- A user requested how to set a single transaction entry to be reconciled (or set it back to outstanding). Since we haven't completed the user guide, here is a quick description of how to do that:
- "On a single transaction in the transaction list for an account, long-press on the transaction, and the options to set the transaction as reconciled or outstanding will be displayed."
- Long-press Options on Transaction Entry List Items
- We have had several requests for recurring transactions.
- A type of auto-fill based on a selected Payee.
- The application will take a look at previous transactions for that Payee.
- If 2 or more (or 5, or maybe we'll let the users decide on the number of transactions to match on) matching transactions are found (based on Payee, Category, and/or Amount) then, after selecting the Payee, the Category and/or Amount will be auto-filled with the most frequent values used for that Payee.
- Another feature we thought of would be to have additional information that would become available based on the Category that was selected. (which would mean we would probably add a value to the category table, so we can mark some categories as "application necessary" categories that cannot be modified or deleted.
- An example of how this could be useful would be for the GAS category. After selecting the Category, some text input will be shown where the amount of gallons, miles driven on the tank, mileage, maybe tire air pressure...etc can be recorded.
- We could do this for an Auto category for getting things serviced, routine and scheduled maintenance, etc.
- And for those extra category information, reports will be made to track and display the recorded data.
- And we want to enhance the export to include search filters so only the filtered data will be exported when exporting from the transaction search lists. We want to add some report filters to allow reporting for specific month and/or year range, payee or category range, etc.
Remember, send us an email if you find a bug, or the application crashes.
- Please include any error messages that have been displayed, if you had a Force Close, details of what you were doing when the issue happened (for example, if you were trying to rename a category), what type of phone you're using, what version of the Android software you have installed (version 1.6, 2.1, 2.2, etc.), and what applications were, if any, running in the background, or ones that were possibly involved with the Checkbook Register app issue you experienced.
