Balances Over Time

The Balances Over Time graph is a widget that provides customers with dynamic, interactive graphs that visualise how account balances have changed over the last 12 months. Users can easily switch between different time periods, and between aggregated account views and single account views allowing a comprehensive visual representation of accounts at any given time.

This widget has the optional capability to include forecasted balances which clients can choose to configure on or off by speaking to the Bud team.

This guide will walk you through how to use and navigate the Balances Over Time graph effectively.

How it works

Switching between account views

Use the tabs at the top of the graph to toggle between an aggregated view (all accounts combined) and individual account views. This allows users to analyse overall financial trends or focus on specific accounts.

Switching between timeframes

Use the dropdown menu to choose from the following time periods:

• Weekly
• Monthly
• Yearly

Use the arrows at the bottom of the graph to navigate to previous periods.

Interacting with the graph

The graph is fully interactive. Users can hover over or click on different points in the graph to see the balance for the selected date. The displayed balance and date will update dynamically, allowing users to see daily changes.
