2.2 How do I exclude future transactions from being calculated in the account balance?

2.3 I created a repeating transaction but where is its next repeat?

By default, recurring transactions only appear on the transaction date itself. To change this setting, please go to Settings > Display Settings and set 'Create Repeating Transactions X days in advance' where X can be up to 90 days. Exit the app completely using the back button, then relaunch and check the account.

Note that the created transactions will not disappear if you change from a longer days period to a short one.

If Cloud Sync is enabled: note that only the master device will create repeating transactions. To set your current device as the master device, please go to Cloud Sync > "Current Device is:"

You can also go to the "Repeating Items" section to see when your next transaction will be created for each Repeating Item.

2.5 I edited a repeating transaction but repeats do not appear.

Expense IQ's cloud sync function determines whether repeating items will be populated based on the device's status.

Check if:
1. you have cloud sync enabled?
2. your current device is set as Master?

Note that if cloud sync is enabled and the current device is not the master device, no repeating items will be created. This is to prevent duplicates to be created and synced by all master and non-master devices. Setting your current device as Master will populate the repeating items.

2.6 Searching and filtering transactions

Simply tap on the magnifying glass icon on the top of every transaction list. You can also set filters like transaction status, category etc.

2.7 Selecting multiple transactions

Simply tap and hold on one transactions till you see it highlighted in blue, then proceed to tap on other desired transactions. Tap on the right icon on the top blue bar to perform an action on the selected transactions.

2.8 Transaction statuses and what they mean

It is not compulsory to use all the different statuses. Usage will depends on how detailed you wish to record your transactions. An example will be provided for each transaction status below.

• Uncleared - This is the default transaction status. You have just written a $200 cheque to someone. A transaction will be created as Uncleared.
• Cleared - You went for an ATM withdrawal and notice that your account has $200 less. This probably means that your cheque has been cashed in. You update the transaction to Cleared.
• Reconciled - You received your monthly bank statement and want to check if the transactions are in order. You launch the app and do an Advanced Search for Cleared transactions. If the transaction is reflected in your statement, you can update the transaction to Reconciled.
• Void - If a transaction has been declined but you wish to keep a record for reference, mark the transaction as Void. The transaction will be recorded with a strikethrough.

2.9 Adding photos/images to transactions

To add photos from your camera or gallery to transactions, simply tap on the camera icon (beside the payee/item field) and select the image you want to attach or take a photo to save it together with the transaction. You can find the saved photo in the ExpenseIQ folder in your storage.

For Bill Reminders, you can also add a photo/image after marking a bill as paid and editing the transaction.
