HomeWorks Screen Shots

These sample screen shots are of ficticious transactions to give you an idea of the work environment you will experience with HomeWorks.

Notice the different colored text. Check records are black, deposits are blue, Check Card records are green and Miscellaneous records are brown. This improves browsing and searching for specific types of transactions.

Two records have been selected (highlighted) for a cut, copy or delete operation. Records can be cut/copied and pasted between documents this way. You can select ranges of records or multiple records that aren't adjacent to one another.

Any cut or deleted record will be sent to the Dungeon where it is kept for possible retrieval later (a type of Undelete). After closing the document window, any Dungeon records are permanently deleted. (Dungeon records are not saved to disk.)

2. This next picture shows the (nearly) blank entry screen, after the "ENTRY" tab has been clicked. The date is automatically set to that of the last entry made and the check number is also automatically incremented up from the last check entered. The list screen behind the entry panel can be scrolled while the entry panel remains fixed in place. Clicking on the "LIST" tab or anywhere in the document's list area will return you to the full list screen.

3. This picture shows the use of the popup menu to select previous entries for a time saving page-fill. Selecting a previous entry causes all the page entry fields to be filled in for you. Of course you can choose to type in the entries if you wish, and the type-ahead features work to save you time.

5. This picture shows the completely filled-in entry panel. All that needs editing is perhaps the check amount. In some cases even that remains the same from month to month. Just click the "Enter" button and the record will be written into the document's List screen. Be sure to save your work often. It saves fast so you won't be slowed down by doing this regularly. The "Save" command key equivalent is command-S as would be expected.

6. Reconcile with the bank? Checks/transactions that have cleared the bank are highlighted in green and the transaction totals are accumulated while outstanding checks/transactions are not highlighted and don't accumulate. This allows you to compare the final balance to the bank statement and also to quickly locate outstanding checks.
