What do the badges on my transactions mean?

Under certain circumstances, badges will appear next to the payees on some transactions to convey additional information about them. When you adjust the balance of an account or view overdue scheduled transactions, you will see transactions with badges. When you use Direct Access or direct download to update your accounts, or if you import transactions from Banktivity's built-in browser or a file, Banktivity will put badges on the new transactions to let you know how they were handled during the import.

Next to each account in the sidebar is a number indicating the total number of badged transactions related to the last import (or a star if the number is greater than 99). Import-related badges are cleared automatically after 24 hours. Balance adjustments retain their badges indefinitely.
