Eric PoulinWe have some plans to expand the sidebar during certain actions.
While reconciling, we could expand the sidebar and try to line up the transactions – I agree, this would make is way easier.
You are just FULL of excellent ideas :)
THANKS!

Split transactions allow users to allocate a single transaction across multiple categories, providing a more accurate representation of spending. This feature is particularly useful for expenses that cover several budget categories, such as a grocery bill that includes both food and household supplies.
For example, if a user spends $100 on groceries that includes $70 for food and $30 for household items, split transactions enable them to categorize these amounts separately. This not only enhances tracking but also improves budget accuracy, helping users make informed financial decisions.
Sub-categories enhance budget management by allowing users to break down their main categories into more specific areas. This granularity helps users understand their spending habits better and identify areas for potential savings.
For instance, within a main category like "Transportation," users can create sub-categories such as "Fuel," "Public Transit," and "Maintenance." This detailed approach facilitates targeted budgeting and provides insights into where adjustments can be made for improved financial health.
Engaging with community feedback is crucial for the continuous improvement of budgeting software. By encouraging users to share their thoughts and suggestions, CalendarBudget can prioritize the development of features that meet the actual needs of its user base.
For example, a dedicated forum section for feature requests allows users to propose new ideas, like the inclusion of split transactions and sub-categories. This not only fosters a sense of community but also helps the developers align their updates with user expectations, ultimately enhancing user satisfaction.
CalendarBudget is committed to evolving its features based on user feedback and emerging trends in personal finance management. Future updates may include enhancements to existing features, such as improved tracking for split transactions and the addition of customizable sub-categories.
By staying attuned to user needs and industry standards, CalendarBudget aims to provide an intuitive and comprehensive budgeting experience. This commitment to continuous improvement ensures that users have access to the tools they need for effective financial management.
