Monthly reports and sharing them
Reports
longbook draws a report for every month that holds a confirmed charge. It has the month's total, spending by account and by category, and every confirmed charge.
A charge is confirmed when a bank statement or an email proves it, you mark it paid, or you set its amount. A charge that was only planned doesn't count, and a month still to come has no report.
- Not yet confirmed counts the month's past charges nobody has confirmed, beside the total.
- Press and hold a charge for Remove from report. The charge stays in your longbook. Put back restores it.
- Transfers stay out of every report.
- Reports are in the home currency. Nothing is converted.
- Each report is a file in the reports folder of your longbook.
Share a report
Share report makes a link and a password. The person opens the link in a browser, types the password, reads the report and comments on each section. They don't need longbook.
- The password is shown once. Send it separately from the link.
- The link expires after 3 days. Stop sharing ends it sooner and deletes the shared copy.
- Pull comments brings their comments into the report in your folder.
- They see only that one report.
