Rename "Spending Watchlist" to "Watchlist" (edited)

bobluck

The "Spending Watchlist" section of the app should be renamed to "Watchlist" I use this to track both spending and income. I do find it odd that income is shown on the graph as negative values and spending as positive. This functions as a mini report type feature.

Hello @bobluck,

Thanks for posting your suggestion to the Community!

Since Watchlists are designed to cover spending only, this Idea may not be available for implementation, however, it doesn't hurt to make the request. The reason income shows as negative in Watchlist graphs is due to this design -- income would be considered negative spending. 

With that said, we do have a request here in the Community for Watchlists that can handle income that I'd definitely suggest adding your vote and feedback to.

I hope this helps!

Hello All, 

This Idea seems to have fallen stagnant, and due to the age of the request and lack of user votes/comments, will be archived within the next 10 business days.

If you would like to see this Idea kept alive and considered for possible future implementation in Quicken Simplifi, please be sure to add your vote and a comment explaining how this request would be beneficial for you. More details on voting for Idea posts can be found in our FAQ here. 

Thank you,

Quicken Simplifi Community Support Team

This sure sounds a lot like the other feature request you referenced when this was first posted with maybe a refinement that if Watchlists were reworked to show both income and expense dropping "Spending" would be appropriate.

Right now, "Spending Watchlist" makes it clear that these reports are for tracking and reporting spending and formatted accordingly, thus the inversion when set up to track income.

However, I do note that in the main sidebar navigation menu, "Spending Watchlist" is shortened to "Watchlist" already so…

Should these two requests be merged?
