This article gives you an overview of the functions in the Planner tool when you access it on your web application. This is useful for gaining a strong foundation on how to use the Planner tool effectively and we would recommend for you to read about it.

1. Predictions - what are they?
Predictions - what are they?
Predictions are specified transactions that feed into the information your Planner uses to show where you will be at with your finances.
They can either be a 'Incoming' or 'Outgoing' prediction. As the name suggests, when you set a transaction as 'Incoming' it will be reflected as a positive balance in your Planner tool and vice versa for 'Outgoing'.
You will notice as you use the Planner tool, a big part of it comes down to interacting with your transactions. We will be talking more about transactions in the next articles on setting up and managing your Planner.
