Recording transactions can be done through manual entry, account downloads and importing files. You can record transactions manually in the Transactions section or within an account's Transactions section. Record transactions in either the table list view or the calendar view.

Tip:
When viewing transactions in the table list view, you can control the fields shown for transactions by adjusting the optional columns.
For example, you can add the "Memo" or "Check #" columns in order to view and edit the memos and check numbers for transactions.
Adjust the optional columns for a table by using the program's View → Columns menu or by Control-clicking on an uneditable area of the table.
