Released a little while ago, but worth highlighting: there is now a “Filtered” button inside the edit transaction form.
Clicking this shows you a pop-up, with details on the category rule or filter that was applied to the transaction. You can then open the Filter from here to edit it. This means that hunting down why a Transaction was categorised a particular way becomes far easier.
The Digest now excludes transfers from the income and expense pie chart, so large transfer amounts will no longer skew your numbers. Using multiple tabs has also been improved, with oddities caused by using older tabs after logging in again being ironed out.
The confirmation of the Transactions page now features sortable columns. This means you can order your transactions in whatever method is easiest for your confirmation processing.
The first part of improving bank feed management in the Account Summary has been completed, which sees us change from using the very specific “Institution” to the clearer “Bank”.
Now you’re able to select future Cashflow dates without needing to expand the forecast via the Calendar first. Much quicker to get an overview of your future!
When you split transactions, the transactions will now always appear adjacent to each other in the transaction listing, making keeping track of splits a bit easier. Also, there are now no limits to the number of transactions you can perform bulk actions on.
You can now “Unhide” any categories that you’d hidden from the Budgets page, meaning it’s easier to add and remove categories from this report as needed.
The Cashflows page for multi-currency accounts now converts historical actual totals as at the end-of-month shown, instead of always as at today. Much more accurate for historical balances and totals.
We’ve applied a range of optimisations to the forecast system. This means that logging into PocketSmith is faster now, as well as forecast recalculation and calendar page loading. Things should feel snappier for everyone, like a unicorn flying over a rainbow. In space.
