For the Category Summary and Account Details reports you can select which accounts will be shown in your report and whether empty or zero accounts are displayed.

To select specific accounts:

  • Click the Included Accounts header to display all Categories in your budget
  • Click a Category header to display all Accounts in that Category
  • Click the checkboxes to select or deselect any Account
    • You can easily uncheck the Included Accounts header to unselect everything, then pick what you do want included in your budget
    • If you want to keep a Category header, but not include any of the Accounts within it you can click Uncheck all Accounts (Keep Category) in the Category section

Note: If Fringes are posted by category then the Fringe accounts will be available to select or unselect for your report.

Hiding Empty Accounts

For the Category Summary and Account Details reports you can hide some accounts from your report based on a lack of content. To do so:

  • Click the Exclude option to the right of Included Accounts
  • Select which types of lines to exclude
Type Description
Empty Accounts Any Accounts with no Detail Lines will not be included. Note: Some accounts may include blank Detail lines that are still included.
Zero Total Accounts Any Accounts that have a 0 Total (after suppressed lines and calculations are taken in to account) will not be included.
Suppressed Detail Lines Detail lines that have "Suppressed" Groups applied will not be included. See Groups Setup for more details.

For the Account Details report you can also choose to exclude the Fringe Breakdown. This hides the details of which fringes are being calculated, but does not hide the fringe totals.
