The Quicken Dashboard is your central location for reviewing your finances in Quicken Classic.
Dashboard Cards
Spending by Category
The Spending by Category card shows what categories are generating your highest expenses. The default view is for the Quarter to Date, but you can choose other time periods as well. You can hover your pointer over any category to see more information about your spending in that category. You can click a category to see the transactions associated with that category.
Recent Transactions
The Recent Transactions card shows you what transactions you've made in the last seven days. You can increase the amount of days to suit your needs. If you have many transactions, you can scroll through them on the card. You can click a transaction to see that transaction in your register. In the case of loans, Quicken will take you to the loan information page.
Uncategorized Transactions
The Uncategorized Transactions card is an excellent resource that you can use to assign categories to your transactions. You can click any transaction to select a category for that transaction. Once categorized, you can still see the transaction on the card under the heading Recently Categorized Transactions. This allows you to make changes in case the category chosen needs adjustment. The Recently Categorized Transactions will disappear whenever you leave the Dashboard. You can turn Recently Categorized Transactions on or off using the edit icon
at the top right of the card.
Top Spending Payees
The Top Spending Payees card shows you the payees that have received the most of your money for the time period. You can adjust the date range to get a better idea of your spending over time. Click a payee to see a spending report for that payee.
Income & Expense
The Income & Expense card shows you a graph of the amount of income and the amount of expense for a time period, breaking it up into segments such as years or months. Above the graph you can see your Net Income for that period. At the bottom of the card you can see your Total Income and Total Expense. You can hover over any graph entry to see Income, Expense, and Net Income for that segment. You can click on the graph to generate an Income & Expense report for the overall time period. You can also click Total Income or Total Expense to generate a report.
Net Worth
The Income & Expense card shows you a graph of your Assets (green), Liabilities (red), and Net Worth (gray). You can select time ranges from the Last 3 Months or Quarter to Date to the Last 10 Years. The card also displays your Net Worth (Today).
Hover over any part of the timeline to get a view of your net worth on that date.
Remember that the best way to get an accurate Net Worth is to add all your accounts, including any liabilities.
Bills & Income
The Bills & Income Card offers a concise overview of your upcoming financial obligations and anticipated funds. This feature assists you in managing your finances proactively by providing timely reminders. You can view a summary of upcoming bills and income for a set period, giving you a clear insight into your cash flow.
