The Accounted main window is where most of your editing will occur. The window has a sleek design meant to show you a large amount of information without being overly cluttered.

The main window is divided into 3 sections, highlighted in the screenshot as green, blue, and red.

Green - The left side of the window show your accounts, their types, and their balances (if the account type carries a balance). The buttons above the account list allow you to filter the list based on account types. Double click on an account to edit the account's properties, or right click on an account to perform several other actions. Click on an account to select the account and show any transactions attached to the account in the blue section.

Blue - The blue section shows the list of all transactions for the selected account. Transactions can be created and edited directly in the main window, or double-clicked on to edit in a separate window. Several options for the account lists are available in the Preferences window.

Red - The red section show the totals and/or balances for the selected account. Depending on the width of the window, Accounted will automatically show or hide additional total fields. You can easily select the total for each total column by simply clicking and selecting on your desired total. As stated previously, expense and income accounts do not maintain a balance, so it is recommended to select periodic totals such as months totals, yearly totals, and quarterly totals. Bank/cash/credit accounts can show their balance both in the transactions list as well as in the totals section.
