Click on the drop down list of views. Views let you filter your data in many different ways. For example, to reconcile a bank account, select the Uncleared transactions view. When you have reconciled (or cleared) your transactions, select the Cleared transactions view to get a look-alike statement complete with running balance so you can visually see if there are any mistakes.

Click on the Open/Close the view editor panel button to open the control panel.

Now click on the Filter tab on the left of the View panel. Click on the Add Column Condition button to set rules for this view. For example, select the Cleared From column from the list. This will add a new rule in the table on the right. If you set the value to true by clicking the check box, this view will only include transactions that have their from side cleared. Add another column condition and set the to side to be cleared, make sure the 2 columns have the AND symbol in the left hand column, and you have created a copy of the Cleared view!

The third tab is the Chart tab. Select the style of chart by clicking on any of the Main Chart Type buttons, then select a Sub Type under that. On the right select the column you want for the horizontal axis (typically the Date column). Now select the data series. For a bank style chart you may want to chart the Running Balance. You can also add labels to the chart for horizontal, vertical axis as well as the chart title.

You can also choose to show the column names that have been selected for the chart by clicking the Show Legend check box.

To display the chart, click on the Chart button in the toolbar. To turn off the chart, click the button again.

To turn off the View panel, click the View panel button again.

Please note that for certain default views, only the Chart functionality can be edited.
