Z-FINANCE includes a graphing function that allows you to spot trends and analyze your spending tendencies. There are three types of graphs you can select from the Views menu:1-Month Balance — A line graph of your balance for a selected month. 6-Month Balance — A line graph of your balance for a 6 month period, starting from the month . 6-Month Budget Graph — A bar graph that shows spending for up to four separate budget categories. To produce any of these graphs, open the Views menu and select one of the three graphs. The 1-Month graph will report on the account and month which is open on the Account Ledger screen. The 6-Month graphs will report on the account in the ledger screen, starting with the month selected on the screen. Graph Operations Cross Hairs. Touch anywhere in the graph area to line up the cross hairs. The crosshairs let you accurately read the X and Y coordinates on the graph.Graph Information. This window shows the date and amount where the cross hairs are pointing. If this window is in the way of the data you want to read, you can drag it to a new position on screen by touching the frame of the window and then dragging it with the touch pen. Budget Categories. When the Budget Graph is on the screen, you can choose up to four budget categories to be displayed at one time. At the bottom of the screen, touch the <left> and <right> arrows to scroll through the list of budget categories. When you see a category you wish to graph, touch it. When selected, the category will have a box in front of it, indicating the shading of that category’s bar on the graph. To exit the graph screen, touch Done. Graph Accuracy All positions on graphs are shown to the nearest unit of currency. Example: a value of $70.50 will be graphed as 70.00. As a result, you should only use the figures in the stats window as a rough guide to the balance of your account. Please refer to your Statement to find the exact balance of your account on any particular day. This manual is Copyright © 1997 by RuppSoft, LLC. All Rights Reserved.
