Turning multiple entries that are blue check to green check? (Q Mac) (Bumping this again)

MajorHavoc

I asked this about a year ago, and I see no traction, so I am asking again.

When I download items to a register they are put in with a blue check mark. I do not use reconcile on many of these registers as it is unnecessary. But I still would like to select all items in a range with a blue check mark, and set them to green, because I have reconciled them by hand (necessary in many cases.) Can we please consider an additional menu item to switch a selected group of blue checked marked items to reconcile green? It would help greatly on registers I cannot reconcile by automatic means. Thank you.

In the mean time, you can hold down the option key and click each blue checkmark which will turn them green. Or even easier, just do a quick manual Quicken reconcile to the known ending balance.

@MajorHavoc I'm not sure why it is necessary to "reconcile by hand" as you describe, and I think allowing users to multi-select transactions and mark them reconciled would cause confusion and problems with Reconcilation History for many users. (Some users are still confused about the difference between blue Cleared check marks and green Reconciled check marks! That comes up a bit in this forum.)

In your case, couldn't you do a Reconcile to statement for the time span of the transactions you want to reconcile, click those transactions to reconcile, and set the reconciliation total to match the total of the selected transactions so everything will be in balance? You could easily mark 5 or 50 transactions reconciled in this way. If that wouldn't work, perhaps you could provide a short description of why reconciling this way wouldn't work.
