The Budget function allows for editing of budget lists.
To track expenses, you would assign transactions to
corresponding budgets. This action signifies budgeting
a transaction.
All Transaction requesters (Checks, Deposits, etc.) have
a gadget labelled Budget, which brings up the current
budget list. From the list, you can budget a transaction
by simply double-clicking on the desired budget.
Choosing OKAY (or double-clicking on a budget) from the
Budget requester will print the selected budget (shown in
the Budget requester's string gadget) to the right of the
BUDGET gadget. Choosing CANCEL from the Budget requester
will erase the transaction's previous budget, effectively
unbudgeting the transaction.
----------------------------------------------------
The following lists, by menu, the operations possible
through the Budget requester along with their keyboard
equivalents. All the functions below have equivalent
gadgets, selected with the mouse. If you forget the
keyboard equivalents, each gadget has a black underscored
letter which is the key to press with the RIGHT-AMIGA
key.
FUNCTION SELECTED BY
-------- -----------
Budget Menu
-----------
Okay RIGHT-AMIGA Y
Accepts the current list as the budget list for the
current checkbook. Double-clicking on a budget
description effectively selects Okay. This feature
makes the selection of a budget from any
Transaction requester much easier.
Add RIGHT-AMIGA A
Includes the description in the budget string
gadget to the current budget list. If the string
gadget was empty when selecting Add, the string
gadget becomes active, so you can enter a
description.
Delete RIGHT-AMIGA D
Removes the mouse-selected budget from the list.
You must choose the budget description to delete
with a click of the mouse for Delete to work. The
selected budget will appear in the string gadget.
Cancel RIGHT-AMIGA N
Terminates the current editing session of the
budget list. Changes, such as those from the Load,
Save, Add, Delete, and Clear functions will be
preserved, unlike other places in the program that
have Cancel operations. If you are selecting a
budget for a transaction, Cancel ignores the
current budget shown in the string gadget and
preserves the previous budget, if any, of the
transaction.
List Menu
---------
Load RIGHT-AMIGA L
Retrieves from disk a specified budget list as the
current budget list from disk. If a transaction
references any budget in the current list, you are
asked if the references should be cleared for all
transaction before the load is to proceed.
Save RIGHT-AMIGA S
Stores to disk the current budget list under the
prompted filename. If the file currently exists,
you are asked if it should be replaced before the
save is to proceed.
Default RIGHT-AMIGA F
Saves the current budget list as the default budget
list. When you start a new checkbook (New from the
main screen), the Information requester offers the
option to load the default budget list (Use Default
from the Information Requester). You must have
already assigned CA: for this to work. The default
budget list is saved under CA:CAdefault.CAb.
Clear RIGHT-AMIGA E
Removes all the entries in the current budget list.
If any transactions references any budget in the
list, you are asked if the references should be
removed (dereferenced) before clearing the list.
