🎉 Haletale 1.6.6 Release: Account Management, Transactions & Property Deletion
🔧 Account, Category & Sales Tax Editing
Enhanced financial management by making transactions, categories, and tax details more editable and accessible.
Before: Users could only create new categories under different financial classifications but couldn't edit existing ones.
How it helps users: A new "Accounts & Categories" section allows users to view detailed category information and update them effortlessly with a single button click. This enhances financial management by allowing users to edit existing categories across different financial classifications: Income, Expense, Assets, Liabilities, Payment Account, and Sales Tax. Additionally, users can now check if a category has been used in any transactions, helping them track expenses more efficiently and avoid accidental deletions or modifications.
📁 Category Archiving
🔹Users can now archive unused categories instead of keeping them in active selections, ensuring a cleaner and more manageable experience.
Before: Once a category was created, there was no way to manage or remove it. Even if it was no longer needed, it stayed in active selections, cluttering the list.
How it helps users: Now, users can archive unused categories directly from the Accounts & Categories page. This prevents further use of the category while keeping past transactions intact for reporting. It declutters category selections while ensuring historical financial data remains accessible.
🏠 Property Deletion for Better Management
🔹Users can now delete properties that are no longer needed, improving property management and maintaining data hygiene.
Before: Previously, users could only disapprove or delist a property, meaning it remained in the system even if it was outdated or incorrect. This led to cluttered records and potential confusion
How it helps users: Now, users can delete unwanted properties, keeping their records up to date and relevant. This ensures a cleaner database, reduces confusion, and improves overall data accuracy.
👤 Haletale Landlord Account Enhancements
🔹 Streamlined account handling for landlords in the Homeowner’s Profile, making the user experience more intuitive.
Before: Previously, in the Homeowner’s Profile, there was a separate button below the phone number field to confirm it. Users had to first click the button, receive an OTP, confirm the number, and then separately save the page—making the flow cumbersome.
How it helps users: Now, the confirmation button has been removed, and when users click Save, they are prompted to confirm the number only if it has been changed. This simplifies the process, reducing unnecessary steps and improving the overall experience.
📊 New Homeowner-Based Transaction Type
🔹 Added a new Homeowner-Based transaction category to improve financial classification and reporting.
Before: Users could only classify transactions under Property-Based or General, making it difficult to track expenses that were related to the homeowner but not tied to a specific property.
How it helps users: Now, with the Homeowner-Based category, users can properly categorize expenses like business insurance or fuel costs for managing multiple properties. This ensures clearer financial tracking and transparency in the Transactions feature when expenses can be associated with a homeowner.
📄 Spreadsheet Upload Enhancements
🔹 Enhanced the UI of transaction uploads for a more seamless and user-friendly experience.
Before: While spreadsheet uploads were functional, the UI lacked clarity—header tab colors were dull, and it was difficult to identify selected columns.
How it helps users: Now, with clearer tab visibility and highlighted selected columns, users can navigate uploads effortlessly, reducing confusion and improving readability.
📱 Mobile View Upgrade for Listing Page
🔹 Enhanced the mobile layout of the listing page for a more seamless browsing experience.
Before: The font sizes and spacing were inconsistent, making navigation difficult on smaller screens.
How it helps users: Now, with optimized fonts and proper spacing, the listing page is more readable and user-friendly, ensuring a smoother experience for mobile users.
📊 Accounting Page – Outstanding Tab
🔹Resolved an issue where the Outstanding tab in transactions page was not displaying data, ensuring users can now see all pending transactions.
Before: The Outstanding tab appeared empty, preventing users from tracking unpaid or pending transactions.
How it helps users: Now, all outstanding transactions are properly displayed, allowing users to easily manage pending payments and maintain accurate financial records.
🏦 Payment Account Creation
🔹 Fixed a bug that prevented users from creating payment accounts, ensuring a smooth and error-free setup process.
Before: Users were unable to create new payment accounts due to a system bug, blocking essential financial operations.
How it helps users: Now, users can seamlessly create payment accounts, enabling them to manage transactions without disruptions.
💰 Rent Breakdown for Co-Living
🔹 Fixed an issue where the first and last month’s rent was missing from the rent breakdown, ensuring all rental details are correctly displayed, preventing errors in invoices.
Before: Even when users selected the first and last month’s rent under Booking and Payment Preferences, it was not reflected in the rent breakdown on the listing page—only the monthly rent for the selected room was shown. This also led to errors in invoices created from this breakdown..
How it helps users: Now, the first and last month’s rent is correctly displayed if selected, ensuring a complete and accurate breakdown of rental costs. This prevents discrepancies in invoices and improves transparency for landlords and tenants..
This release greatly improves financial tracking, property management, and transaction handling while enhancing user experience across the platform. 🎉
