On this page

The People page in Extrack is the directory of everyone you have tagged on a transaction — splits, lends, repayments, or informational tags. The columns are Person, Transactions (count) and Balance. Subtitle reads "Balance: positive = they owe you, negative = you owe them." The total at the top is labelled "Total you're owed".

How people get added

Two ways: (1) tap "New person" on the People page (modal with one Name field, placeholder "e.g. Alex") to pre-populate the directory; (2) tag a name on any transaction — the directory entry is created on save.

Frequently asked

Why does the same person show up twice?

Probably typed under two slightly different names ("Rahul" and "rahul k"). Open one, rename to match — the rename merges the entries.
