Add your first source

A source is a file or set of files added to a project: statements, exports or personal documents. Source projects hold the records; workbooks use those projects.

Add files to a project

Open the project's + Add or Add Source action. Choose files or a folder, or drag files into the dialog. Use the document type that matches the project; Auto Detect identifies supported formats when available.

Bank and card statements belong in Banking + Credit Cards; brokerage statements belong in Investment. Add retailer order histories to Retail Purchases, and other personal documents to General Documents.

Follow the import progress and review any file errors. Check the imported period, accounts and records before using the results. A listed file is not proof that every row was extracted successfully.

Ownership questions during statement import can be skipped. You can confirm account ownership later when setting up retirement planning.

Collect statements with the agent

The Statement Download Agent is another way to add files. You sign in yourself in the OrbySystems browser. For an unfamiliar statements page, demonstrate one download so OrbySystems can learn the steps locally.

Add projects to a workbook

A workbook's sources are projects, not statement files. Choose Add Sources in the workbook to select existing projects. Add later statements to those source projects; the workbook uses their updated records.

Manage sources

The Sources view lists imported sources and their status. Use its available actions to rescan after a parser fix, remove a source, or locate an original file when needed. OrbySystems keeps encrypted local copies of imported financial statements and exports; older imports with no stored copy may still need the original file.
