Float's excited to announce our new Forecast confidence module, which shows in realtime the health of your cash flow in a simple and easy to understand way. No more wondering "how confident can I be in my cash flow?"

Float's goal is to empower you to make confident financial decisions, so every time you log in, it should be obvious what decisions you can take.

We'd love your feedback to help refine the module, so please send all feedback our way.

We've released a few changes around the main cash flow graph.

1. Months in the graph aligned with the month columns

Easily scan the table with the month on the graph displayed above the relevant column in the table.

2. Threshold value displayed on the graph

Easily see when you drop below your threshold. The graph will shade red when dropping below the threshold value. The example below shows a threshold of 5,000.

3. Bank balance and threshold relocated

See more of your cash flow with these tiles being set alongside the graph. The unreconciled amount is also merged into the bank balance tile. For example, the unreconciled amount is shown in the below example as ± £4,135.04.

​

We've renamed "Won" projects to "Active".

We recognised that not all Won projects were being worked on actively, or all active projects were won, so this change better reflects how they are in the real world!

Easily remove multiple incomes and costs from a project in a few clicks.

Whether in the Monthly or Income & Costs view you can select what you would like to remove using the checkboxes, which will reveal the option to remove them.

If you are looking to remove a large number of entries, you can use the shift click shortcut to select many at once. Simply select the first entry you want to remove, hold down shift and click the last entry. This will select all entries between the two.

Any placeholders will be fully deleted, while any invoices, bills or transactions will be returned to the relevant chart of account category in the main cash flow.

View a monthly breakdown of project incomes and costs

You now have the ability to toggle between an income & costs view and a new monthly view of incomes and costs within a project.

This option when selected, groups income and costs in a monthly breakdown to allow you to better understand and manage the monthly fluctuations of a project's cash flow.

Easily add invoices, bills and bank transactions directly to a project without the need of adding a placeholder first.

This allows you to add invoices, bills or bank transactions which you didn’t plan for but have happened.

Or, you might have created one placeholder initially which is now associated with multiple invoices, bills or bank transactions. This update allows adding those invoices, bills or bank transactions without the need of adding other placeholders first.

Couple of quality of life improvements.

Collapsible Project sections

Each individual project section can be collapsed and expanded as needed. So if for example, you don't need to see the Completed projects, you can hide these from view easily.

Alphabetical ordering of budgets

When expanding an account in the cash flow table, budgets will be shown in alphabetical order. Previously these were shown in the order they were added.

Any questions or feedback just drop us a message.

Replacement page: Improved layout

With a 2 column layout, it's much easier to compare what is being replaced with what is being chosen to replace it.

Replacement page: Suggestions & tips

When replacing a placeholder, Float will now suggest transactions that are closest to the value and/or date of the placeholder.

If the transaction you need isn't shown we've added some searching tips so you know exactly what you can search for.

Project page: Improved placeholder adding

The section for adding a placeholder now expands and collapses inline so as not to hide the list of already added placeholders. Some handy keyboard shortcuts have been added, Enter ⏎ to create a placeholder and esc to collapse the section.

If you have any questions or feedback please let us know.

Cheers,

Add regular incomes or costs to a project using the "repeats monthly" and "repeats weekly" options.

For example, repeats every 2 weeks for 10 occurrences will create 10 placeholders each 2 weeks apart

These placeholders can then be individually edited and replaced via the existing edit and replace options.
