[GNC] Default View: Tip

[David Carlson]

Since I use the notes field in almost every transaction, I cannot imagine a
reason not to use it.  I suppose one way to state it would be payee goes in
the description and why or how goes in the notes.  Since it is arbitrary
text, use your imagination.  When users import transactions from financial
institutions they have an opportunity to include supporting text in the
notes field.  That text is used by the transaction matcher to assign
potential matches with greater precision.
