AutoCompletion

Let's explain AutoCompletion - a time saving feature that you'll appreciate as you create and edit your Account's Entries.

CheckBook keeps track of some of the Entry details you've used before, then compares those details with what you're typing in the current Entry. When it knows you've typed the words "Groceries at Corner Mart" some time in the past, and sees you're typing in "Groceries" in the current Entry, then it will fill in the rest automatically - so you don't have to.

Say that you've typed "Groceries at Corner Mart" before, but you've also typed in "Groceries at Wally World" too. As you type the word "Groceries", CheckBook will match that with "Groceries at Corner Mart". But if you continue to type "Groceries at Wally World", the instant you press the first "W" CheckBook will switch from its first match to the second - and presto! CheckBook automatically types in the rest for you. In general, keep typing and CheckBook will present the best match. And, when you type in something completely new, CheckBook remembers that for next time.

CheckBook uses AutoCompletion when you're typing in an Entry's Description and To/From fields, and you get to control some of how it works. Click on the Descriptions tab and let's continue...
