# Daily journal

This view shows all accounting activity, ordered by day. For each day, a tabular list shows:

1. A row index, numbered from the start of the journal.
2. The account name.
3. The entry name, if this is the first row in the entry.
4. The debit value.
5. The credit value.

Below the list the total debit and credit values are shown. These values must be the same.

You can select the time period to show using the date controls at the bottom.
