Importing data
How can I transfer DBO data to TB?
You can transfer Daily Budget data in three steps. 1. Make a backup in Daily Budget, 2. Import it in Today's Budget.
Importing the backup file with PC
Step 1 - Install iTunes (Last version)
Step 2 - Connect your iPhone to your PC and wait for iTunes to recognise it.
Step 3 - Click on the icon of your phone just below the top header where it written (Presentation)
Step 4 - Select Share Files and you should see your app Today's Budget (Click on it)
Step 5 - Drag your export from Daily budget in the Today's Budget app (Not in Temp folder)
Why is my balance is different in TB than in DBO?
1. Continous mode was off
One possibility is that in DBO, you had continuous mode on, and left over balance was set to zero regularly.
TB doesn't have this setting. So the excess money that was set to zero in Daily Budget is added back to your balance. You can check this by going to DBO, and turning on the continuous mode. (Settings > Advanced >Cycle settings)
2. Separate wallets
If you had a gap in DBO, a period when you didn't use the app, or more than one cycle settings over time, TB creates a separate budget for each.
In TB, you pick one wallet and you see the balance of that wallet. In DBO, you see the cumulative balance of all cycle settings together. This results in a different balance in two apps.
If these still do not answer your question, please send a screenshot of cycle setting and we can troubleshoot further.
Why is my data in saved in multiple wallets?
If you had a gap in DBO, a period when you didn't use the app, or more than one cycle settings over time, Today's Budget creates a separate budget for each.
You could:
(1) combine these cycles in Daily Budget,
(2) make a new backup file,
(3) then import the backup file again.
That way, all data will be in one wallet.You can combine all the cycles in DBO by deleting earlier cycle settings, and then moving back the start date of the latest cycle setting to include the earlier dates.
Deleting a cycle setting doesn't delete the transactions underneath. It works like curtains. You can see dates and transactions of the days where the curtains are open. (If this makes any sense).
Important: File name
When you import the backup file again, please make sure that the file name is "DailyBudgetBackup2.sqlite", and not like "DailyBudgetBackup2-2.sqlite" or some other name.
Important: Cycle duration
Combining cycle settings might change your balance if you had entries that were repeating per cycle, and varying cycle durations. If you overwrite cycle duration, then the daily amount will change. If you had entries that were repeating weekly, biweekly, monthly, etc, or simply with start and end date, then there is nothing to worry about.
If there was a pause in cycle setting, or if there are several cycle settings, then the data is saved into separate wallets.
All my entries are duplicated
This is a known issue, and we are currently investigating it.
We know that creating a new backup file in DBO, and importing it again in TB resolves this issue.
