GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 580690
listing available "terms" difficult to discover
Last modified: 2018-06-29 22:21:06 UTC
related to bug #507209 My Gnu Cash Experience 1. I selected the “create a new set of accounts” button and hit “ok” 2, A page came up that said <no file> at the top. This was confusing 3. I switched screens and found that a page that said “New Account Heirarchy Setup” 4. I hit “forward” 5. I continued to “Setup new accounts” I did not understand the term “placeholder” 6. I proceeded to enter my beginning balances, which went smoothly 7. I wanted to enter some scheduled transactions. Quickbooks calls them “memorized transactions” so I would have appreciated some cross-reference to “memorized transactions” 8. Understanding the “help” instructions for “scheduled transactions” was challenging with incorrect grammar and spelling. The instructions need to be written in a manner that is easier to understand. 9. I did like the options available under the “scheduled transactions” menu 10. I found entering bills from vendors very challenging. Creating a new Vendor was very difficult to navigate. Also, creating terms was confusing. I could not find out how to list vendors or terms so that I could see which vendors and terms I had created. I finally looked in the help menu and found out how to list vendors. I never did find out how to look at a list of available terms. I would rather have a “drop-down” list than a “select” box.
Similar to bug 580688, this report is a little vague. So in the same vein as the bugreport, I'll assume the core of this one is: > I never did find out how to look at a list of available terms. I > would rather have a “drop-down” list than a “select” box. I don't understand the user problem here. To look at a list of available terms, there is Business -> Billing Terms Editor Is this not sufficient ?
