Moneydance Help : Getting Started : New File
To get started, create a new data file in which to
store all of your accounts and transactions. To do this,
select the File->New menu item.
This will display the New File window. In this window:
- Specify the primary currency you wish to use. If you
wish to use a currency that is not on the list, specify a new
currency by clicking on the Edit... button next to the currency
selection.
- Specify the account format you prefer. Choose either "Standard" or "Minimal."
The "Standard" account format will create a default
set of income, expense, and bank accounts. The "Minimal" account setup
will create only a small set of accounts. This setup is generally
preferred only if you wish to create your own account
structure, or if you plan to import most of your transactions from
other sources, such as QIF format files.
That's it! Click the "Ok" button to create your
new file.
