Scroll forward to enter information

Sue

I just added a totally new Quicken account. I had to enter and entire year of information.

It would sure be nice if you could scroll the page as your entering information. Every item is added when the page is full at the very bottom of the page, then every entry must be typed at the very bottom of the page! It would greatly help if you could scroll the information up so you can at least enter the information at the middle of the screen for a more comfortable position.

Just saying, thanks

I'm not sure how this would be implemented.

The account register can be sorted in two ways, the default is with the newest transactions on the bottom, but if you click on the Date column header the new transactions will be on the top, and so will the "new blank entry transaction" (this might even be what will work for you).

The only way that the entry could be in the middle is if they maintained half of the register as blank or you would be putting the transactions into a place they don't belong. Like entering 2/24 just below 1/31.

You can do this already in banking registers.

Select the bottom-most transaction (assuming you're sorting by ascending date).

Press CTRL-I (for Insert) as many times as you like to create empty transactions you can type into.

Try applying a register filter, like Date is This Month. Just pick a date range that limits the number of transactions to a small number.

I had a bit of a hard time trying this one. It seems if you are already in a field in the transaction it doesn't work.

I think "Cleared" works pretty good especially if you have some reminders (but not a lot of them) to bring it down some.

EDIT: strike that, I just realized that would hide the uncleared transactions.

@Chris_QPW I probably wasn't clear. Select any field in the bottom-most (or any) populated transaction, not the blank one already at the bottom. Then CTRL-I should insert transactions after the one you selected.

@Rocket J Squirrel OK that make sense/works, but note that you will get blank transactions with the date of the transaction you selected before selecting Ctrl+I which might not be the current date.

What I do is sort the register in reverse date order. That way you are always entering the new transaction at the top of the register, which I think is more easily accessible.

There's a bug here, too. A transaction's right-click menu contains "Insert Transaction Ctrl+I", which is disabled in the menu even though the keystroke works.
