I plan to create a simple site that would allow individuals to track their daily expense. The fields are quite simple (item, cost, date). There should be a function though that summarizes the expense items daily, weekly, and monthly for each person.

I was thinking of using a simple WebForm, but noticed that this could be done via custom content, too.

Any thoughts on what I should use - new content type or WebForm?

For summarizing you'd probably use Views in either case.

Content of Webform – generally depends on how much information you want to make public. With Webform it's easier to keep stuff private, with content it's easier to make it public.

Thanks for the reply. Though somehow I thought that it's the other way around - WebForm submissions are more difficult to make private.

Reviving this post - it seems that I can't use Views to create daily, weekly, or monthly summaries. :(

Any tips if CCK can be like Webform and create "private" posts? Or perhaps there's another way to create summaries with Webform content?
