[GNC] New Autocomplete in 2025

[Patrick James]

Julie,

One easy way to limit autocomplete is to filter a single account register by a relatively small number of days. For example, 60 days might cover your data entry.

View -> Filter by... -> Show Number of Days

On the other side, if you want maximum expansion, use the General Journal with all transactions.
