Total

The total movement for the selected period:

  • Assets: The value represents the debits less credits. If the credits exceed the debits, the number is negative.
  • Liabilities: The value represents the credits less debits. If the debits exceed the credits, the number is negative.
  • Equity: The value represents the credits less debits. If the debits exceed the credits, the number is negative.
Month columns (e.g. Jul ’26)

Appear only when Set is Fin Year (Months). There are 12 columns, one for each month of the financial year, captioned with the month and year.

Each column shows the account’s cumulative balance at the end of that month (not the movement for the month).

The layout for Fin Year (Months) is saved separately from the layout for the other date options.

Widget

A context menu (also opened by right-clicking the entry) with the following option:

  • Open Detailed Ledger: Opens the ledger account. Available only on accounts (not on headings or main accounts that have sub-accounts). On any other row, the message “The selected record is not an Account.” appears.
