In this user guide
Web app
New transactions search interface
Status: alpha testing
A new interface to search transactions that will have all the same searching abilities as the existing search feature but with better usability.
You can try out the new search by getting in touch and we can enable this option within your beta settings.
Improved easy categorization of transactions
Status: building
We are bringing a new way to categorize your transactions more efficiently by categorizing all transactions with the same merchant at the same time. This will replace the existing 'Categorize transactions' page.
A new onboarding experience
Status: building
A new experience is coming for new users or existing users who choose to start from scratch. They will be guided through different options for setting up their PocketSmith account depending on what they want to achieve with their finances.
Some of this new onboarding experience will also be able to be reused in other parts of PocketSmith, to improve it for all users.
Rollover budgets
Status: in beta
A long-awaited feature is to have unspent and/or overspent budget amounts rolled over from the past into the current period.
After a very long build, this is now released into beta to try! You can learn how it works with the following guide: Rollover budgeting.
We are now working through any issues that occur during this beta phase before the general release of this feature.
Improved Income & Expense statement
Status: being designed
We have released some initial improvements to the Income & Expense statement:
- Six improvements for the Income and Expense Statement released
- Spruce up of the Income and Expense Statement released
- Nest categories on Income & Expense report; rollup coming soon
- Categories on Income & Expense report can now be rolled up into parent
We are also working on including bringing the functionality of the Cashflows statement into it. You can compare different periods and save settings for easy switching between the reports you need.
Safe balance out of beta
Status: planning
Safe balance was released into beta over 6 years ago and has been used by a keen group of users to find out how much they can spend today. There have however been a few bugs and user interface quirks that have remained unfixed.
This is changing - with the impending release of rollover budgets, safe balance will be more useful now than ever. We're planning the work that needs to be completed, both from a user interface point of view, as well as fixing up bugs and oversights (such as a lack of multi-currency support).
Multi-currency out of beta
Status: planning
We are working through the remaining additions needed to complete multi-currency support within PocketSmith. Most of these are small changes but the biggest of these is the support of currencies that don't have two decimal places. Adding improved decimal place support is a really big task so it will probably take a while before it is released.
