Multi-file for one ledger

2021-09-24 21:41

Many of our customers have been asking us how to add multiple files to one ledger since February. They need the file structure to archive or categorize transactions. So, finally, after a couple of months of work, we are glad to announce the feature is released for free.

Here is how to use it:

File > create a new file

Go to the file editor tab on the left navigation sidebar. And then, follow the “File” dropdown and click “Create a new file”.

File > create a new file

Name your new file

Give your file a valid filename and save it. All filenames must be ended with “.bean”.

Name your new file

Include the file

Here is a crucial step, you have to include the newly-created file in main.bean.

For example, if you added stock.bean, then specify include "stock.bean" in main.bean.

Include the file

Refresh and navigate to file

Refresh the page, and you will see the file appears in the “File” dropdown.

Refresh and go to file

Rename or delete the file

When navigated to the file, you could rename or delete it in the “Edit” dropdown.

Rename or delete the file
