You now have the ability to share a money account from the My Accounts page with other BudgetTracker users either as read-only or as a contributor. Contributors will also be able to add transactions to your account but cannot edit or delete transactions. To implement, click the Account Sharing link at the top of the My Accounts page.
When changing a category on the My Transactions page by clicking on the category name instead of the edit link, we will now change the category to the one you've chosen for all transactions that have the same payee name and have an empty category.
We've added a new Setting to the Settings page to allow you to change the amount fields in My Accounts and My Transactions to red if the amount is negative. Currently, only the totals get converted to red if negative.
We've added an update to the My Transactions page so you can now view all transactions within a single box instead of separated by account. To implement, go to My Transactions and choose "All Accounts Combined" from the search dropdown.
We've added a new update that will detect if you are viewing a budget where some of the transactions within that budget date range have been allocated to a future or past months budget. This will occur either if you are creating a new transaction and select "add to" -> "Future/Past Budget" or if you are making a payment on a bill or income item in a future month. The transaction date would be marked as today but it will come out of a future months budget depending on the date of the bill. To view, you will now see some text at the top of the My Budget page if we detect you have budgeted items in the future along with a link to the Future/Past Budgeted page.
We've updated the site when editing a transaction to now show you default categories to choose from to make it easier to change or add a category to your transaction and budget.
We are also now showing the existing non-budgeted categories on the My Budget page with the option to add them to your budget. This was an option we removed last year but found that users were confused about adding existing non-budgeted categories to your budget so this should help simplify the process. If you would rather not see your existing non-budgeted categories on the My Budget page, you can choose to hide them by clicking the checkbox and clicking the button Hide Categories at the bottom.
We've added a new page to the site called Budget Report. This will give you a breakdown by month of how much you've budgeted for, how much you've spent/saved, and how much is available. You can select up to 12 months of data to display in a spreadsheet styled format. To access, go to My Budget and click on Budget Report at the top of the page.
When you hover your mouse over an account on the My Accounts page, you now have the option to create a new transaction or transfer funds from the account you are hovering over. This will make it easier to record your expenses.
We've added a reference to gravatar.com images on the Message Boards. Gravatar is a globally recognized avatar based on your email which can be reused throughout different websites. If no image has been registered, it will default as a silhouette. Visit gravatar.com for more information.
We've introduced a new feature called Achievements. As you use the website and complete different tasks throughout the site such as entering a transaction more than 10 days in a row, you will earn an achievement medal. The medal will appear next to your name when posting a message on the Message Boards as well as within the social bio.
