QUICK START
This chapter purpose is to give an overview of HomeBank by creating an
account step by step. We assume that HomeBank is already installed
on your system. A translated part of this section is available in the
'Docs' directory.
1. Start «HomeBank» by double click on its icon.
2. Define of the Account
We first fill in the account identity.
Select 'Account/Account...' menu, fill in the gadgets, then
click on <Ok>.
3. Create some Groups
We can create some groups now, a group is an extra field that we
can assign to some operations to make some statistics later, e.g.
'Food', 'Taxes', 'Rent', are such groups.
Click on <Grou.> button, create some groups by clicking <Add>,
typing the group name, and pressing <return>, then close the
window.
4. Create some Archives
We can also create some archives now, an archive is in fact a
pre-defined operation that will be recurent, this will help us at
edit time and avoid filling the fields everytime we uses it, e.g.
every month we must pay our rent, we create for that an archive
set with 'my rent' in wording, the right amount, we validate, we
select 'cheque' icon and we assign to 'Rent' group.
Click on <Arch.> button, create some archives by clicking <Add>,
filling the fields, and pressing <return>, then close the window.
5. Create some Operations
We can create some operations now, first we are adding a new one.
Click on <Add> button, change date, fill in gadgets, then click
on <Ok>. We can also copy fields using the archive list, click on
the small loop right the 'Wording', a list appears, select the
right archive by double click, fields are filled automatically,
change anything that must be, then click on <Ok>.
'Inherit' works like 'Add' but the fields are filled with those of
the active operation when we clicked on <Inhe.> button.
6. Get informations
At any time, you can have numeric information about the account
and the current selection. Select some operations, click on <Info>
a window opens giving you these informations.
7. Changing the display
We can also define the operations display filter. Click on <Disp.>
button, adjust the parameters, the display is set between two
month + year limits (lower and upper), and some groups or not,
we can also fast set the limits from n month from current, view
all operation, and apply filter also on unvalidated operation,
then click on <Ok>.
