What would account creation look like; would this be required or just simpler to do?<br /><br />Maybe using a message panel (as used when creating recurring transactions) to say something like "Your account has been created." with a button "Add initial balance", that enables a box an amount field next to it, where you can enter it and it will enter the transaction with date today and description "Initial balance"?Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05644244364747661286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3369913276619133519.post-41499038361505975452010-02-08T14:45:25.462-08:002010-02-08T14:45:25.462-08:00Why don't you just have it query the user for ...Why don't you just have it query the user for an initial balance every time they create a new account and then automatically create the transaction representing that initial balance?

Once you create the account, just add a transaction representing your initial balance via the controls on the bottom, just like you would in any sort of ledger. Then add transactions from there as they occur!<br /><br />Do you have any suggestions for making this more intuitive? I'd love to hear any of your suggestions!Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05644244364747661286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3369913276619133519.post-25136468875427989242010-02-07T19:54:35.937-08:002010-02-07T19:54:35.937-08:00haven't really figured out how, after I create...haven't really figured out how, after I create an account, I can set up the current balance of my account...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
