Jived means a transaction has been cleared/reconciled/balanced/etc. You can jive a transaction by clicking on the small checkmark icon located next to the transaction amount. When a transaction is jived, the row will turn a darker green and the checkmark icon will darken. This is meant so you can see how much money has been cleared and compare this with your bank account.

Thanks for the reply. But I am still missing something... when would I not want to jive a transaction? I mean, what is it meant for? Is it possible to autojive all the transactions?

You wouldn't want to jive a transaction if it doesn't show up in your bank account statement.
It's a way of basically making sure all transactions have cleared.....
For instance, if you write a check for $500, you enter it in clearcheckbook and you'll know what your real balance is. It might take weeks before that $500 shows up in your bank account statement. Once it does though, you jive it so you know it has appeared in your bank.

mcbenus,
You can jive a lot of transactions at once by going to the Summary tab at https://www.clearcheckbook.com/account/summary and then checking the box next to "Date" and that will select all transactions on that page. Then scroll down and click on "Jive" and all will be jived.
It looks like you have to refresh the page so just click on the Summary tab again and all should be jived.

ok NOW I understand!
I would suggest a "what is jiving?" link somewhere near those links because it is not a very obvious word.

I just did a "with selected - jive" where I selected all items in my account. This included split items (I selected the parent item and its children). Jive did not work. Had to reload and select all except children and it did work. Then I selected each child and jived it on its own.
Maybe this is a bug (if it is by design I think you should reconsider this behavior).

lfijolek, unjiving is falling off a log easy...just click on the green checkmark to toggle it (it will fade to a light color) and refresh your balance!

Thanks for having this discussion posted. I'm a new user and didn't know what the heck that word meant either. We've just always called it "cleared."

What does the Jived Total represent??

The Jived total should be the account balance on the statement you are reconciling. If it does not match, something does not jive (missing or incorrect amount).

For what you guys are saying... the Bal and the jived bal should match after all items have a check beside them. and mine does not in this case. So how do I fix this?

Try clicking the Refresh Balances link located under the Overall and Jived balances. If that doesn't clear it up, use the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page to send us a message and let us know.
