I've covered account setup in a previous post. Let's look at scheduled transactions!
When you click the "Get Started" button for staying on top of monthly bills, QEM will scan your transaction history for what it thinks are regularly scheduled transactions. This was a feature in older versions of Quicken, and like the older versions, the ability to detect scheduled transactions is a little hit-and-miss. First, it'll show you bills:

Upcoming scheduled transactions also appear in the appropriate register.
