Description Nicole C. Engard 2011-08-17 13:22:12 UTC
When you're looking at your list of funds you can't tell what funds are children funds without mousing over the title - can we have the children funds indented under the parent fund or have a dash and show it under?

For example:

Friends 	Friends 1500.00
-FOLDON 	Friends - general donations 	300.00 	
-FOLGRJ 	Greenwood Prichard funds 	800.00 	
-FOLHTJ 	Harte Prichard funds 	400.00 	

instead of the way it looks now

FOLDON 	Friends - general donations 	300.00 	
FOLGRJ 	Greenwood Prichard funds 	800.00 	
FOLHTJ 	Harte Prichard funds 	400.00 	
Friends 	Friends 1500.00


Where you can't tell the funds are the children of Friends.

Also, I know the total issue came up in the past, but couldn't we just not include children funds in the total?

Still valid for 3.8. The display of the hiearchical funds is not hierarchical, causing lots of confusion.

I looked at this today and it's not just a visualization bug, but a bug in the way it works - or if it's how it works it's confusing.  Basically if I have a BK fund that has $10,000 in it and then I break the fund in to multiple children funds say Fiction which is $1,000 and Non fiction which is $500 - the assumption is that the child funds are part of the whole - so I have 10,000 to spend on books and $500 of that can be spent on non fiction. The way the data breaks down though it does not subtract the money I spend on non fiction from the books fund.

I can do a video if that needs more clarification.

We now have a hierachical display for funds :)
