Settings — Accounts

Overview

The Accounts tab of the Settings dialog controls what information is displayed in the account list sidebar, which columns appear in the account ledger, and import-related options.

Account List

These checkboxes control what is shown next to each account in the sidebar:

Setting	Description
Display Balance	Shows the account balance.
Display Cleared Balance	Shows the cleared (reconciled) balance.

Account Ledger Columns

Nine checkboxes control which columns are visible in the account ledger. The default state is shown in parentheses:

Column	Default
Code	On
Date	On
Memo	Off
Account	Off
Envelope/Transfer	On
Account Cleared	On
Payment	On
Deposit	On
Balance	On

Import

Setting	Description
Create Checkpoint Before Import	Automatically saves a checkpoint of your data file before any import operation. This provides a restore point if the import produces unexpected results.

Other Settings

Setting	Description
Enable Account Transfers in Multiples	Allows Regular Multiple transactions to include account-transfer rows. Each account-transfer row moves part of the transaction amount to another account and reduces the main transaction amount.

A Defaults button resets all Accounts tab settings to their factory values.
