Description TraceyC 2024-07-01 02:08:02 UTC 
SUMMARY
When the Reconciliation Wizard starts it always presents the explanation of what reconciliation is. Allow the user to hide this in future wizard runs with a checkbox.
Alternatively, present the information next to the first pane where a user performs action, the statement date and balances in the next pane. (Credit to https://www.nngroup.com/articles/wizards/#toc-recommendations-for-designing-usable-wizards-6 where I got that idea)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open an account in KMyMoney
2. Go to Account - Reconcile

OBSERVED RESULT
The explanation of what reconciliation is and what to expect on the next pane of the wizard appears with no ability to hide it. The user must see and click through this every time before they can take action.

DESIRED RESULT
Similar to other software, make a "show this help next time" checkbox, checked by default. Alternatively, show the information next to the input on the next pane.
Rationale: After a user has done this a number of times, the information is redundant, and having to click past it is more of a hindrance than a help.
