Add the 'Edit Series' option to the three dot menu of reminders (edited)

DryHeat

If I want to edit the Recurring Series for a Reminder that I see in the reminder carousel of an account or in Bills & Income:Overview, I have to:

click on the series' three-dot menu icon
click on View Series (in the three-dot menu)
click on Options in the View Series window
click on Edit series (in the Options menu)

Only then do I actually arrive at the Edit series window where I can edit. That seems unneccesarily indirect. (And clicking "Options" to access the editing function isn't exactly intuitive.)

Adding an "Edit Series" item to the three-dot menu would be much more direct and obvious.

@DryHeat, thanks for posting your suggestion to the Community!

There is a more direct way to edit a recurring series from the Bills & Income section — select the All Series tab at the top, and then the three-dot menu options for the recurring series listed here will have an "Edit Series" option. With that, I did edit this request to be specific to the Bills & Income > Overview page.

I hope this helps!

Thanks, it's good to know that the Bills & Income | All Series tab provides more direct access. If I'm working on a lot of Series at once I'll go there.

But that doesn't help me all that much in the usual case.

That's because I usually figure out that I need to alter a Recurring Series when I am looking at a particular upcoming (or past due) reminder, either in Bills & Income | Overview or in the reminder carousel for a particular account. I see that maybe a payment date or amount has changed, or maybe it isn't matching correctly, so it needs editing.

From there I can either follow the 4-click route I described above, or I can click over to Bills & Income | All Series, scroll down to find the right Series, and edit from there. That's actually a more time consuming process for an individual change.

(NOTE: Accessing editing through the three-dot menu on a Reminder in the reminder carousel above a transaction activity list also requires the 4 click process I described above.)

I Think you can remove the "Bills & Income > Overview Page:" limitation from the title and just capitalize the word "Reminders." Because this issue applies to Reminders wherever they appear, not just there.

As I looked farther into it, I saw that Simplifi distinguishes between reminders and recurring series when displaying the 3-dot menus.

The items in Bills & Income | Overview and the reminder carousels are reminders. They have the menu that requires 4 clicks to get to "Edit Series."
The items in Bills & Income | All Series are recurring series. They have the menu with more direct series-related choices.

So if this change is made, it should apply to all Reminders equally.

@DryHeat, I have edited the request to reminders in general!

Voted for this. I'm "used to it" the way it is, but VERY RARELY do i "view series" without "editing series".

I voted for this as well.

I tend to edit the series when I am looking at them in the Spending Plan or when I see it coming up in the particular account. One shortcut I employ is to choose Edit Reminder, and at the bottom of the window that opens, I can then choose Edit Series. I think this works in most cases. It saves a step or two.
