User's Guide

...

The purpose of this app is to allow users to keep track of their expenses and expenditure, by giving them a low friction path to record down their expenditures on a mobile phone. Any expenditures recorded can be reviewed (and even edited!) at a later date if necessary, and can be viewed in aggregate on the analytics page for a user to spot trends (time or location) in his spending. This system also allows a user to track debts which are attached to expenditure, with the expected use case being debts from split checks at restaurants or similar

 I. Home (Records Page).

  • This page allows the user to immediately record their spending and track it based on their location.
  • Back-end for the site has not been implemented so the "Track Spending" and "Submit" buttons currently display alerts instead their prespective tasks.
  • The User can input the amount spent, type of spending and either "Add Debits" if the spending is related with a person, or submit if it's a transaction.

II. Transfer

  • This page allows the user to record bank transfers from an ATM.
  • The back-end of the page isn't implemented so upon submitting an alert shows the transfer as completed.

III. Debits

  • The Debits page allows the user to see who they owe money and who they lent money too.
  • It's in the form of a list view showing the most recent transactions first.
  • When the user selects one of the people's names on the debts list they can see the history of transactions between them and the person. Clicking on an individual debt in that list will bring up a page showing that particular transaction, allowing the user to edit it. Currently, it's just static.

IV. Analyze

  • Allows the user to analyize their transactions through 3 different view forms.
  • The map and graph views are static, but clicking on an item in the list view brings you to that item's record page. For now, that is just static: it is meant to allow editing of the record, but the back end doesn't exist yet
