I’m having some trouble understanding the meaning of the Accounts and Filter tabs options and I find the Help and the Tutorial and Concepts Guide needs a bit more explanation.
1. Account tab: What does the “Include transactions to/from Filter Accounts” (and “Exclude”) mean? The documentation uses those same words to describe their function. 2. Account tab: I understand the Account tree selection under “Accounts” (top block), but what is the account tree under “Filter By” used for? How can you “filter by” something you’ve already chosen? 3. Filter tab: How is the “Account Name Filter” used? Am I to change it each time for a selection or is this invoking a previously-named “Account Name Filter?” 4. Filter tab: The “Transaction Filter” appears to be used to specify the words I want to report and link them to the specific transaction in which they appear, but sometimes the Transaction Report indicates “No transactions were found,” so perhaps I’m mistaken. 5. Filter tab: When would I select “Use regular expressions for transaction filter?” 6. Filter tab: What is POSIX and how and why should I invoke it? 7. Filter tab: How can I invoke a boolean “OR” to report either of two or more transaction filters? (in this case I want to report a transaction that has either one person’s name or another in the Description.) _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
