+ <title>Setting Up, Editing & Working with Accounts</title>
+
+ <para>This section describes the process of setting up, editing and working with GnuCash Accounts.
+ In GnuCash an Account is used as the basic tool to organize the recording of where money comes
+ from and goes to. GnuCash also extends the concept of real world accounts such as a bank
+ account or loan account to grouping income and expense accounts. This allows you to
+ quickly see where you spent your money and what your major income and expenses are.
+ GnuCash sets Account Types (as described in the next section) to help in organizing
+ and grouping accounts. Account Types can be used to create a Chart of Accounts.
+ </para>
+
+ <sect1 id="acct-types">
+ <title>Types of GnuCash Accounts</title>

+ <title>Creating a Chart of Accounts</title>
+
+ <para>The Chart of Accounts is like a table of contents for your finances. The best
+ way to conceptualize a chart of accounts is as a tree. The main branches represent
+ entire categories or groups, while the leaves of the tree denote individual bank
+ accounts or expense categories. When a summary report is requested, typically only
+ the main branches are shown in the report, rather than the individual accounts. For
+ example, a chart of accounts might look like the following:
+
+ &chartacctseg;
+
+ </para>
+
+ <para>Note that accounts not only have names; they may have codes, to order the accounts.
+ When a report is generated, the sort order is determined by the numbering. It's
+ customary to have the leaf accounts end in non-zero digits, while parent nodes have
+ increasing numbers of zeros. </para>
+
+ <para>GnuCash does not prevent duplicate numbering, although we would encourage you
+ to avoid this. Account codes are treated as numbers in base-36, thus, if you run out
+ of numbers, you can use the letters, a through z.</para>
+
+ <para>A sample chart of accounts is shown below. Each account is of a given account
+ type. This example is a combination of some typical business and personal accounts.

+ <title>Editing a Chart of Accounts</title>
+
+ <para>Editing the Chart of Accounts is done within the Parent Account pane of the Edit
+ Account dialog. It is possible to move an account to any part of the Chart of Account.
+ It is recommended to keep accounts generally under the related types of accounts as
+ described in the Types of GnuCash Accounts section. This helps to preserve the Chart
+ of Accounts structure.</para>

+ <para>To move the selected account to a different parent account just select the
+ account in the Parent Account pane. If New top level account is selected then the

+ then there is a row of "tabs" for the open reports, registers, or

+ <title>Tools & Druids</title>
+
+ <para>There are many specialized Tools used in GnuCash. These tools enable access to the enhanced functionality
+ in GnuCash. These tools are accessed via the <guimenu>Tools</guimenu> option from any window that displays a
+ <guimenu>Tools</guimenu> menu. Several of these tools may not be displayed depending on if your
+ software was not configured to support Online banking, or the tools appropriate for the current window.</para>
+
+ <sect1 id="tool-find">
+ <title>Find Transactions</title>
+
+ <para>Find Transactions is used to search for transactions in GnuCash
+ and display the results in a register window. The title bar of the
+ Find Transactions dialog contains 'Search For...' and the first line
+ of the dialog has 'Split Search'. In other search dialogs used in
+ GnuCash the first line contains a different description but the same
+ basic layout.</para>
+
+ <note><para>The <guilabel>Find</guilabel> tool will also search for; a Customer, an Invoice, a Job, a Vendor,
+ Bill(s), Employee(s), or Expense Voucher(s). The target of the search is determined by where the tools is
+ invoked. Access to the Tool via <guimenu>Business > (Customer/Vendor/Employee) > ... </guimenu>.
+ </para></note>
+
+ <para>To open the Find Transactions dialog in the Account Tree Window
+ go to the Tools menu and select Find Transactions or type menu
+ shortcut Ctrl-F. To open the Find Transactions dialog in the Account
+ Register Window go to the Edit menu and select Find... or type menu
+ shortcut F6.</para>
+
+ <para>There are two panes in the search dialog. The top pane contains
+ the Search Criteria buttons and the bottom pane contains the Type of
+ Search selection.</para>
+
+ <para>There are two buttons in the top of the Search Criteria pane.
+ The left button allows you to add another criteria row to search for
+ multiple criteria. The existing criteria row needs to be completed
+ before adding a new row. The right button is used to Search for items
+ where all criteria are met or Search for items where any criteria are
+ met. The all criteria are met search requires all of the criteria rows
+ to have at least one match. The any criteria are met search requires
+ only one of the criteria rows to be matched.</para>
+
+ <para>The criteria row is used to combine different criteria buttons.
+ The following table describes the possible button combinations (regex
+ means regular expression search);</para>

+ The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or
+ other written document <quote>free</quote> in the sense of
+ freedom: to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and
+ redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either
+ commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, this License
+ preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for
+ their work, while not being considered responsible for
+ modifications made by others.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This License is a kind of <quote>copyleft</quote>, which means
+ that derivative works of the document must themselves be free in
+ the same sense. It complements the GNU General Public License,
+ which is a copyleft license designed for free software.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for
+ free software, because free software needs free documentation: a
+ free program should come with manuals providing the same
+ freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited
+ to software manuals; it can be used for any textual work,
+ regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a
+ printed book. We recommend this License principally for works
+ whose purpose is instruction or reference.

+ <title>1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS</title>
+ <para id="fdl-document">
+ This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a
+ notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be
+ distributed under the terms of this License. The
+ <quote>Document</quote>, below, refers to any such manual or
+ work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is addressed
+ as <quote>you</quote>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para id="fdl-modified">
+ A <quote>Modified Version</quote> of the Document means any work
+ containing the Document or a portion of it, either copied
+ verbatim, or with modifications and/or translated into another
+ language.
+ </para>
+
+ <para id="fdl-secondary">
+ A <quote>Secondary Section</quote> is a named appendix or a
+ front-matter section of the <link
+ linkend="fdl-document">Document</link> that deals exclusively
+ with the relationship of the publishers or authors of the
+ Document to the Document's overall subject (or to related
+ matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly within
+ that overall subject. (For example, if the Document is in part a
+ textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any
+ mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
+ connection with the subject or with related matters, or of
+ legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position
+ regarding them.

+
+ <para id="fdl-invariant">
+ The <quote>Invariant Sections</quote> are certain <link

+ linkend="fdl-document">Document</link> is released under this
+ License.
+ </para>
+
+ <para id="fdl-cover-texts">
+ The <quote>Cover Texts</quote> are certain short passages of

+ License.
+ </para>
+
+ <para id="fdl-transparent">
+ A <quote>Transparent</quote> copy of the <link
+ linkend="fdl-document"> Document</link> means a machine-readable
+ copy, represented in a format whose specification is available
+ to the general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited
+ directly and straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for
+ images composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for
+ drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that is
+ suitable for input to text formatters or for automatic
+ translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text
+ formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format
+ whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage
+ subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy
+ that is not <quote>Transparent</quote> is called
+ <quote>Opaque</quote>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include
+ plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input
+ format, SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and
+ standard-conforming simple HTML designed for human
+ modification. Opaque formats include PostScript, PDF,
+ proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by
+ proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD
+ and/or processing tools are not generally available, and the
+ machine-generated HTML produced by some word processors for
+ output purposes only.

+ <para id="fdl-title-page">
+ The <quote>Title Page</quote> means, for a printed book, the
+ title page itself, plus such following pages as are needed to
+ hold, legibly, the material this License requires to appear in
+ the title page. For works in formats which do not have any title
+ page as such, <quote>Title Page</quote> means the text near the
+ most prominent appearance of the work's title, preceding the
+ beginning of the body of the text.

+ <para>
+ You may copy and distribute the <link

+ commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
+ copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License
+ applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that
+ you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this
+ License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or
+ control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or
+ distribute. However, you may accept compensation in exchange for
+ copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you
+ must also follow the conditions in <link
+ linkend="fdl-section3">section 3</link>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated
+ above, and you may publicly display copies.

+ <title>3. COPYING IN QUANTITY</title>
+ <para>
+ If you publish printed copies of the <link
+ linkend="fdl-document">Document</link> numbering more than 100,
+ and the Document's license notice requires <link
+ linkend="fdl-cover-texts">Cover Texts</link>, you must enclose
+ the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these
+ Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and
+ Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also
+ clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these
+ copies. The front cover must present the full title with all
+ words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add
+ other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes
+ limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the
+ <link linkend="fdl-document">Document</link> and satisfy these
+ conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other
+ respects.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
+ legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
+ reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto
+ adjacent pages.

+ <para>
+ If you publish or distribute <link
+ linkend="fdl-transparent">Opaque</link> copies of the <link
+ linkend="fdl-document">Document</link> numbering more than 100,

+ linkend="fdl-transparent">Transparent</link> copy along with
+ each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a
+ publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a
+ complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added
+ material, which the general network-using public has access to
+ download anonymously at no charge using public-standard network
+ protocols. If you use the latter option, you must take
+ reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque
+ copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will
+ remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one
+ year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly
+ or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the
+ public.

+ <para>
+ A compilation of the <link

+ other separate and independent documents or works, in or on a
+ volume of a storage or distribution medium, does not as a whole

+ account of their being thus compiled, if they are not themselves
+ derivative works of the Document. If the <link

+ copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one

+ holders, but you may include translations of some or all
+ Invariant Sections in addition to the original versions of these
+ Invariant Sections. You may include a translation of this

- which is a copyleft license designed for free software.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for
- free software, because free software needs free documentation: a
- free program should come with manuals providing the same
- freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited
- to software manuals; it can be used for any textual work,
- regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a
- printed book. We recommend this License principally for works
- whose purpose is instruction or reference.

- A <quote>Secondary Section</quote> is a named appendix or a

- matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly within
- that overall subject. (For example, if the Document is in part a
- textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any

-
- <para>When you start GnuCash, after a couple of windows (starting splash
- screen, and tip of the day) the main window will be displayed. This
- window is very similar to a typical browser, the top "row" displays the
- file that is open, the next row is the Menu bar, next is the Tool bar,
- then there is a row of "tabs" for the open reports, registers, or
- account trees, the next area is a major display space for the active
- display, near the bottom is a summary bar row and finally the bottom row
- is the status bar.</para>

- <para>Find Transactions is used to search for transactions in GnuCash
- and display the results in a register window. The title bar of the
- Find Transactions dialog contains 'Search For...' and the first line
- of the dialog has 'Split Search'. In other search dialogs used in
- GnuCash the first line contains a different description but the same
- basic layout.</para>
-
- <para>To open the Find Transactions dialog in the Account Tree Window
- go to the Tools menu and select Find Transactions or type menu
- shortcut Ctrl-F. To open the Find Transactions dialog in the Account
- Register Window go to the Edit menu and select Find... or type menu
- shortcut F6.</para>
-
- <para>There are two panes in the search dialog. The top pane contains
- the Search Criteria buttons and the bottom pane contains the Type of
- Search selection.</para>
-
- <para>There are two buttons in the top of the Search Criteria pane.
- The left button allows you to add another criteria row to search for
- multiple criteria. The existing criteria row needs to be completed
- before adding a new row. The right button is used to Search for items
- where all criteria are met or Search for items where any criteria are
- met. The all criteria are met search requires all of the criteria rows
- to have at least one match. The any criteria are met search requires
- only one of the criteria rows to be matched.</para>
-
- <para>The criteria row is used to combine different criteria buttons.
- The following table describes the possible button combinations (regex
- means regular expression search);</para>

- Account is used as the basic tool to organize the recording of where money comes from

- account or loan account to grouping income and expense accounts. This allows to to
- quickly see where you spent your money and what your major income and expenses are.
- GnuCash sets Account Types (as described in the next section) to help in organizing

- <title>To Create a Chart of Accounts</title>
- <para></para>
- <para>The Chart of Accounts is like a table of contents for your finances. The best
- way to conceptualize a chart of accounts is as a tree. The main branches represent
- entire categories or groups, while the leaves of the tree denote individual bank
- accounts or expense categories. When a summary report is requested, typically only
- the main branches are shown in the report, rather than the individual accounts. For
- example, a chart of accounts might look like the following:
-
- &chartacctseg;
-
- </para>
-
- <para></para>
- <para>Note that accounts not only have names; they have codes, to order the accounts.
- When a report is generated, the sort order is determined by the numbering. It's
- customary to have the leaf accounts end in non-zero digits, while parent nodes have
- increasing numbers of zeros. </para>
- <para></para>
- <para>GnuCash does not prevent duplicate numbering, although we would encourage you
- to avoid this. Account codes are treated as numbers in base-36, thus, if you run out
- of numbers, you can use the letters, a through z.</para>
- <para></para>
- <para>A sample chart of accounts is shown below. Each account is of a given account
- type. This example is a combination of some typical business and personal accounts.

- <title>To Create Reports and Graphs</title>

-
- <para>It is possible to write reports if the current ones are not suitable. To do this
- you will need to know Scheme (a LISP-like programming language), and it is an
- excellent idea to have a copy of the GnuCash source code available. </para>
-
- <para>The reporting interface is documented in the source code file
- src/report/report-system/doc/report-html.txt. The file src/scm/report/hello-world.scm
- in the GnuCash source distribution provides a good example of how reports are
- developed.</para>
-
- <para>It is also necessary to access data from the engine to get information for your
- report. This is performed by a set of Scheme wrapper functions that are documented in
- the file src/g-wrap/gnc.html. Examine some of the other reports in src/scm/report for
- an indication of how they are used.</para>
-
- <para>At present, reports are produced by calling a HTML-generation API, which outputs
- a dialect of HTML and rendering this with a HTML widget. This has limitations,
- particularly when trying to align objects precisely, as might be necessary for
- printing onto pre-printed invoices for example.</para>
