How to filter transactions in the ledger

Six preset chips under "View" + an advanced filter builder for compound queries.

Last updated: 2026-05-242 min read

On this page

The Transactions page in Extrack has a "View" section with six preset filter chips — All, Today, This month, Income, Expense, Transfers — and an advanced filter builder for compound conditions (date, account, category, person, amount). Filters apply instantly; the totals strip at the bottom recalculates to the filtered scope.

Steps

  1. Use a preset chip

    Below the page heading, the "View" row carries six chips: All, Today, This month, Income, Expense, Transfers. Tap any chip to apply.

  2. Open the advanced filter

    Above or alongside the chips, an "Advanced filter" button opens a panel with conditions for date range, account, category, person, amount, kind. All conditions AND together.

  3. Combine and apply

    Pick conditions, tap Apply. The active filter shows as a removable chip you can clear with one tap.

  4. Clear

    Tap the X on the active filter chip, or switch the preset back to All. The list returns to the unfiltered view.

Frequently asked

Why does the totals strip change when I filter?

Totals always reflect the visible scope. The strip appends " · filtered" or " · partial list" so you know it is not the lifetime total.

Income and Expense presets — do they include splits?

Yes. The chips filter by the underlying transaction kind. Splits on an Expense show under Expense; settled splits on an Income show under Income.

How do I filter by person?

Open the People page and tap a person — that takes you to their activity sub-page, a pre-filtered ledger of every transaction tagged with them.

How do I filter by account or category?

Same pattern — open the Accounts page and tap an account, or the Categories page and tap a category. Each opens an activity sub-page with the same preset chips scoped to that entity.
