Ability to highlight a transaction in color
Comments
-
Quicken currently doesn't have this feature, but it would be helpful to me and probably others. Can it be added in as part of a future update?2

When I click on a transaction in a register, its background color changes to a bluish gray. Is the problem that background isn't distinct enough? Perhaps try changing the register background color in Edit > Preferences > Register > Colors such that the bluish gray highlighting contrasts more with unselected transactions.It sounds like you or she is doing auto reconcile after every download. Given that the bank is always sending inconsistent data, maybe you should disable auto reconcile. If you reconcile against actual bank statements, those will be far enough in the past that the transactions and balance will be consistent.I'm not denigrating your idea, just suggesting some workarounds that might help a bit.

I am looking for a permanent Highlight not the "editing transaction highlight. Something I can highlight this week and easily see two weeks later, it also needs to be able to highlight multiple transactions.
Your suggestion to disable auto reconcile has been my only workaround, she no longer reconciles, but leaves it to me to figure out. thus the need the permanent highlight for questionable transactions I maybe looking for a month later.
I have been setting flags, but due to remote viewing of my mothers extra large fount, from my Windows surface tablet the flags are difficult to find while scrolling back through a month or two looking for them.2 -
Why not place some special symbols in the memo field such as *** Note *** or some such. This can easily be seen or searched on.

"If you reconcile against actual bank statements, those will be far enough in the past that the transactions and balance will be consistent"
Your correct this is the only sure way. Once again it may only be an issue for be because I have to do it remotely, But I think it would be helpful to be able to Highlight all the bank statement transactions without having to permanently change them from cleared to reconciled, especially in the case where some of the transactions may have already been marked as reconciled.1 -

My only problem with that suggestion is my mother likes using the memo field for explanations/Discerptions of the transaction-1 -
Ah, I didn't understand you want highlighting that persists across sessions. That's a reasonable idea. I voted for it, and you should also.

I have been wanting to do the same thing. I would love to be able to highlight entire lines. For example assign my electric bill a aqua blue, gas bill green etc... this way I can verify all my major expenses have been deducted. Or flag deposits in colors when they are in regards to a loan for something. My Father is ill right now as well and I have a lot of money going in several directions.1

Upvoted. I agree with all the above suggestions. When I reconcile with the monthly bank statement I insert "****END OF STATEMENT**** after the last item. It would be nice if it were yellow highlighted for easy reference. The grayed out reconciled items are not distinct enough.1

Here it is, almost 2023. This feature has been requested for a LONG TIME. It would assist those of us who are elderly and whose eyesight is failing. Please add the ability to highlight transactions in different colors across sessions. It's only being used to draw attention - not change any financial calculations - just to make it more user-friendly.1

It will be nice to have the ability to individual type of transaction on your register to have different colors like a pending quick pay in different color or a pending income reminder on a different color etc. basically a bill reminder not matched for a transaction to have a different color vs just highlighted

I am looking for the SAME ROW and/or FIELD HIGHLIGHT TOOL. Please add this feature so a highlighted ROW or FIELD will visually jump out at me as soon as I open Quicken W10. 🤞🖐️🧐📒📒📒

How about different color highlights depending on category, or taxable vs non-taxable, or by a list of names, or by recurring vs non-recurring payments

From Joan C
#1 - I, too, would very much like the ability to highlight a transaction so I would have an easier way to keep sections visually separated.
Since there are already register colors available, it doesn't seem like it would be too hard to extend that possibility to transactions as well.
#2 - Lately, I've had a lot of trouble with entries suddenly appearing in no-longer used accounts even though they had been originally posted in the proper accounts. That raises havoc with balances and requires a lot of time to locate where and how much has been transferred to wrong accounts.

It would be great if you could allow "register preferences" to apply to a single entry. In that way I can find entries such as a balance adjustment easily by scanning for color or font size.

Something I always wanted to ask … and never got a round tuit …
When the status of an Idea is changed to "Planned", might it be possible to keep the Voting enabled?
It takes a very long time for a "Planned idea" to become implemented, if at all.
While we're waiting for that to happen, without the vote count allowing recent votes to be added, we can never really see the true importance of an idea to the user community.What do you think? Can we keep voting enabled for a Planned Idea?
Thanks for listening,
UKR2
